Co-Packing vs. Private Labeling
Many people use the terms “co-packing” and “private labeling” interchangeably. They are not the same, however, and there are some significant differences between them.
Co-Packing
Co-packing is also known as contract packing, contract packaging, or contract manufacturing. It means that a company manufactures, packages and labels products for a client using the client’s proprietary recipe(s).
The client retains ownership of their proprietary recipe, and the manufacturer agrees not to produce it for another client or share it without permission. Co-packing fees vary from project to project.
***Clover Farms does not offer co-packing.
Private Labeling
Private labeling refers to products from one company (e.g., Clover Farms Icy Teas) that are manufactured for sale under another company’s private label/brand.
In some cases, an exclusive formula can be created for you, or our current formula can be adjusted to meet your needs. Under a private label agreement, Clover Farms retains ownership of the formula.
If you do not have the in-house equipment, workforce, or expertise to develop, manufacture, package and distribute your own proprietary beverages, private label beverages from Clover Farms are an excellent alternative.
