Behind every successful beverage brand is a copacker moving, filling, and handling cans 24/7.

It’s why we order every single one of our ingredients. We can freely negotiate deals, terms and pricing, and we aren’t going to be surprised by pricing changes if a copacker decides to add a finders fee

If it didn’t cost millions of dollars I would have my own @eatboldbar manufacturing plant tomorrow. I have an amazing copacker. Couldn’t be better. But the sad reality as an early stage emerging brand is you’re often at the back of the line. Hard when you live off urgency!!

Or the alternative: Copacker: What’s your forecast? Founder: Whatever makes you say yes.

I can tell w/ a 100% certainty the rancher ain’t seeing those increases; the copacker is squeezing rancher & consumer. Nothing new. Greed rules the world

Awesome visit with our copacker today where we picked up our new 8 oz minis!🔥Excited to add a new SKU to the Bloody Mary product line!👍

This interview with @PhilipLee_ENAK ROCKS Loved the questions on CoPacker process

Beverage copacking in a nut shell: Brand: We want flexibility Copacker: We want predictability So here we are, frenemies.

I’ve thought about opening my own copacker for 7 years now… owning the ability to produce more goods on the spot would change the game. Next venture it’s that or china.

copacker: what’s your forecast? founder: somewhere between 5k units and nationwide retail domination copacker: cool cool cool

beverage founder starter pack: premium ingredients disrupting the category mindset 27 revisions of the formula exhausted copacker(s) negative margins

Winning formula when working with a beverage copacker: Forecast honestly Communicate early Pay on time

You should make a Hotdog at a copacker and sell them. Fong’s Dongs

Very good biased argument. But let’s explore the gray zones. You are Publix/copacker selling milk from your production plants. I say big milk is harmful because stressed cows produce milk with more hormones. My small farm is better. That’s marketing for me. But you now sue me.

Brand: can you run this custom package ? Copacker:

Everyone uses the same printer, the same copacker, the same 3PL. Everyone is using GPT or Claude for the same tasks you are. They're getting their ad creative from the same sources. The only differentiator you have is your brand. Not just the visuals. The strategy behind it.

Here’s our story! So our grandparents originated at developed the original 5 Ancira salsa recipes, they hand made everything for decades, then used a commercial kitchen, then as they got older we commissioned a copacker (that’s 25 minutes away) so everything hands on and local. 🌶️❣️

too bad this is neither millennial gray 2016 packaging “natural ingredients” (from a copacker) that have proven time and time again not to be effective

Why not work with a copacker?
