As a copacker who has created dozens of recipes for people - there's a secret ingredient that people are missing.
Marketing.
This week, a local shopkeeper gave me a sauce for free (since it was a week past expiration). It was a beautiful symphony of multiple flavors that danced together...
As someone who has extensive experience working with copackers, and becoming a copacker as well - here's the deal.
Most copackers want absurdly high MOQs. I'm talking about thousands and even tens of thousands of units.
Don't take a chance on them unless you:

Welcome! I'm a copacker with a presence in Pennsylvania, NJ, and North Carolina. Feel free to DM me if you have any questions.

However it can be great for discoverability. Had a product that was in the top 100 for its category. Your mileage will vary.
As a copacker - some of our clients use...
Greetings! Hope all is well.
I'm a small batch-copacker that serves clients with small minimum order quantities (offering both private label solutions and custom formulations). We started our business because we were sick of high MOQs that made it hard for aspiring entrepreneurs to enter the...
