Scale your beverage business with outsourced contract packing

You’ve mastered your recipe, you’ve research the gap in the market, you’ve got stockists, but how are you going to get your product packaged and on the market?

One of the most challenging hurdles to over come in the entrepreneurial dream of owning your own national beverage brand, can be packing the product at scale. This is where contract packing comes in to really bringing your product to life and helps overcome those production challenges.

There are a couple of ways this can work depending on the contract packing company you utilise, especially for beverage production.

The first option involves having your bulk liquid delivered to the contract packing companies facilities via tanker. They will then ensure it satisfies all Quality Assurance testing before packaging in the way requested – ie; can, bottle or keg. This means you have control over the entire recipe, product standard and flavour profile every time.

The other way to arrange contract packing is to have the contract packer also prepare the liquid and have full control over the recipe. The contract packing company will colour and taste match the product to the set specifications you have established, every production run.

This method means you may simply need to deliver ingredients to the contract packing company and they will create the product as well as package it in bottle, can or keg format.

Alternatively, the contract packing company may purchase all ingredients are include this in their overall pricing. This requires the contract packer to have qualified and capable beverage technologists alongside a well-equipped packaging facility.
