Co-packers
A co-packer, or co-manufacturer, is an established food company that you hire to process and package your product according to your specifications. You are out of the kitchen and can take advantage of their expertise. You also have more time to promote and distribute your product. However, costs are higher and there are a limited number of co-packers.
