What Every Beverage Brand Needs in a Co-Packer
Having trouble finding the right beverage co-packer? Here are a few key recommendations to help narrow your search.
Experience
Experienced co-packers have a proven track record. Look for co-packers with longevity and consistent products. Experienced co-packers give you more time to focus on selling your brand and streamlining your business.

With multiple finished packaging options available, our equipment capabilities allow us to handle projects of almost any size.
Certification
Your chosen co-packer should meet all the correct state and federal certifications to can or bottle your product. Noel Co-Pack is FSSC 22000 certified, registered with the US Food and Drug Administration, is a USDA Certified Organic processor, and is licensed by TTB and the WA Liquor and Cannabis Board.
Capacity
Ensure your co-packer can accommodate your production needs and expand capacity as your need for products increases. Establishing new co-packing relationships is difficult and takes time away from the important work of building your business, so finding a partner who can meet your needs and give you room to grow is essential.
