how private label works

consultation

We start with a discovery call to understand your business model, target customers, order volume and product vision. You'll speak directly with our private label team, not a sales rep.

product development

Moving a recipe from another co-packer? We match it and send samples for your sign-off. Building something new? Our food scientists develop recipe options to your specifications until you approve the final recipe.

packaging design

Our design team creates up to 3 label concepts based on your brand guidelines, with unlimited revisions on your selected design. We handle FDA-compliant nutrition labeling and ingredient declarations.

production

Once artwork and formulation are approved, we schedule your run at our SQF-certified facility in Greenville, South Carolina. Bringing a finished recipe we just need to produce: 2–3 weeks. Full development from the ground up: 4–6 weeks.
