Small Scale Beverage Copacking
We specialize in small scale beverage production
Micropackers is the copacking services arm of Fresh Fizz Sodas. We are located in Island Park, NY (not far from NYC).
-
We don’t have any! We specialize in small-scale runs, from 5 gallons to 500 gallons.
We can discuss larger runs on a case-by-case basis, but our business model is to provide pilot-size runs. Once you are more established and need regular larger runs, we can refer you to larger copackers that specialize in runs of the appropriate size.
-
Currently we can run any carbonated product in standard width cans, from 8 oz - 16 oz. We will have capacity for slim width cans coming online soon, and will be adding capacity for still (non-carbonated) products in the near future as well.
We are set up for shelf-stable, pasteurized production - including sodas, carbonated teas, botanical mocktails, and more.
If you have a product that requires cold chain, we can discuss these on a case-by-case basis.
-
This will depend on availability and other run-specific factors, but generally 4-6 weeks.
-
We have some ingredients on hand, and good sources for others. We will assist you to the extent we can, but ingredient sourcing is ultimately the client’s responsibility.
-
If you have a basic formulation and need to tweak it for larger production runs, that is part of the service we provide.
Otherwise - we love to help develop products but we are not formulation scientists. If extensive product formulation work is needed that will need to be charged as a separate service.
-
We do have capability to supply blank cans and print out labels, but other than that you will need to source production-quality cans. We can refer you to suppliers of digital printed or sleeved cans that have low minimum order quantities.
-
We have very simple flat-rate pricing. There is an initial setup fee that is charged per SKU, and thereafter all runs are charged per can, irrespective of the run size - whether you are running 5 gallons or 500.
Current pricing is $500 setup per SKU and $0.50 per can, but this is subject to change.
-
What IS included: Our per-SKU setup fee covers consulting with you to make sure we can run your project, our labor in setting up your project in our systems, and resolving any pre-production issues related to ingredients, materials and formulation.
Our per-can tolling fee covers our labor, plus water and carbon dioxide.
What is NOT included: anything else, including cans, ends, trays, ingredients, storage, freight.
