What is Co-packing?

Q.  When it comes to food products, I hear the term co-packing said a lot.  I don’t know what that means.

Thanks for your question!  According to Wikipedia, “A contract packer, or co-packer, is a company that manufactures and packages foods or other products for their clients. To market and distribute, a co-packer works under contract with the hiring company to manufacture food as though the products were manufactured directly by the hiring company.”

Best Brand Bottlers, Inc. is such a company, and we specialize in acidified and thermal processing of sauces, marinades, dressings and condiments and have the ability and the legal authority to pack those products under strict state and federal guidelines. 

What that really means is that we take your recipe for any of the types of products listed above, create a formula from which we can bottle large quantities, and purchase all of the ingredients and materials that go into manufacturing that product.  This is after making sure that we have satisfied all of your requirements pertaining to package size and raw material selection.

Not bad, eh?  You hand us a recipe and we do all the work!   There’s more give and take during the process, but that’s essentially it.

At Best Brand Bottlers we pride ourselves on working with you, our customer, to make sure that you understand the process and are fully equipped to market your product to the best of your abilities.

Our motto is “Customer for Life.”
