Can Do: Beverage Co-Pack ing Outlook 2025
For Brands, Manufacturers, Novel Uncertainties Still Can Be Overcome by Old-Time Communication
By Mark Murphy
With consumers proving to have an increasingly strong thirst for innovation, not to mention for higher quality and consistency, brands are growing bolder in their ambitions - and in turn putting more pressure on co-packers to deliver. The 2025 economic outlook is typically uncertain as concern over rising input costs and labor challenges is putting many on the defensive. So how are co-packers planning for the year ahead, and what should emerging and growing brands expect when engaging with a co-packer?
From both a manufacturing and a packaging standpoint, beverage is highly dependent on the co-packing model. But beyond straight production, brands look to co-packers for not just manufacturing scale but advice as well. But what kind of questions should brands be asking before picking up the phone?
Get Onboard
The first item on the agenda is scale, says Zach Malin, Senior Vice President of Business Development, Krier Foods. “I think the most important thing for growing brands or new brands is finding an appropriately sized co-packer. I get calls from startups and their first initial annual volume will be 50,000 units and they’re super excited. This is a huge volume for them, but for a large scale co-packer it doesn’t meet the minimum order quantity and I can run that in 65 minutes. It’s the wrong fit, and will lead to frustration for the brand and the co-packer.”
Yet for Malin it’s about the customer, and the potential they may come knocking again in the future. “I often will make an email introduction to one of my quote-unquote competitors, but have truly become more like peers now, because we just
don’t compete with the same customer base, or product size. I’ll often make an introduction if somebody calls me and Krier is not a good fit.”
Another important bullet point is understanding the onboarding requirements and production cycles of your co-packer. Like turning up to a job interview, if you haven’t done your homework - expect to see some frowning faces.
“An onboarding process can take anywhere from 30 to 90 days,” says Greg Carranza, President, Well Above Bottling and Canning. “That really depends on how much the customer has together. As a production facility do we need to buy any type of change parts or their type of bottle?”
Whether you’re a new brand looking to enter the market or a growing brand seeking a new partner, the approach doesn’t change. Moving to a larger co-packer, or one closer to your input sources, is as careful a play as your first line run.
“Let’s say a customer says ‘I want to go from an oval shaped bottle to a round bottle,” Carranza muses. “I’m producing this oval bottle. I’m going to need to change parts to go to this round bottle, and this round bottle I can probably use in the future. So what I’ll do is I’ll have them make the investment, and then we give them a case discount. If it’s something that we’ll never ever use, or we don’t ever see bringing into our portfolio of different types of bottles, or whether it’s a specific capping machine, then we’ll say ‘you own that equipment and if you decide to go somewhere else, you can take that with you.’ We can work something out.”
“Our plant specifically is geared towards emerging brands,” says Connor Roelke, Founder & CEO of NOBL Beverages. “So typically, what we say is, if there’s nothing specifically unique or challenging in ingredients or in specifications or with new materials, any co-packer should be able to give a pretty reliable estimate of how successful the first production run is going to be.”
“We specifically have a very short onboarding cycle,” continues Roelke. “But the caveat there and the real meat of your question is it’s almost more about the brands. We’ve quite literally onboarded and gotten brands up and running inside of three weeks before, but that was because that specific brand had every asset they needed. They’ve got labels, they’ve got formulations.”
“Looking carefully at your own roadmap before even engaging, or being upfront and honest about how much work is remaining with the co-packer before you start is important,” he adds. “It just helps.”
Relationship Advice
What are some best practices for a brand to help maintain that relationship with their co-packers? What’s the gold standard?
“Communication,” says Carranza, of Well Above.
“It’s a true partnership,” agrees Roelke of NOBL Beverages. “If anybody is working with a co-packer transactionally - send [purchase order], receive product - there’s just no way for that to succeed on a long term basis, because those parties don’t know the other.”
“If you’re communicating and having regular check-ins and pre-run calls and post-run calls,” Roelke adds, “then almost all the problems will go away immediately, which is what everybody wants.”
Rise of the Robots?
The Great Resignation of early 2021 redrew the employment landscape across the country. Manufacturing was most acutely impacted – as of December 2024, there were 410,000 manufacturing job openings overall in the U.S., according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics. Surely that makes co-packing factories ripe for automation?
“I think it’s something that everybody’s looking at every day,” says Malin, of Krier. “The entire U.S. is going through a labor shortage, and more specifically, a
“Customers want to hear that.”
“It depends,” says Vimal Semplay, Senior Director Supply Chain & Commercialization, Saphineia Manufacturing Partners. “If you go to some of these large CPG brands where you’re making 2-300 million units of the same product for the same brand. You would automate - it makes complete sense.”
Scale, it seems, is everything. “By the time you set the machine up with robotics, it takes time to guide it,” says Semplay. “Then like your production run is probably finished, right? So you don’t really get the efficiency out of it, you’ve mainly had the inefficiency from the startup of the line.”
qualified labor shortage. So being able to automate jobs that are redundant or are more prone to injury, or that have a higher risk for injury, are great jobs to automate. Employee safety is number one, and should be in every manufacturing facility.”
Malin also suggests a trend towards partial automation, where a person is removed from the physical labor yet remains employed to oversee the processes, as a potential solution to ongoing labor issues.
“What we’re trying to do is we’re trying to automate and actually integrate AI into the production, which will help with manual labor,” adds Carranza. “When checking bottles, checking materials, we’re having a lot more camera automation - from putting bottles on the line, blowing the bottles, or filling the bottles; we’re trying to move more towards automation.”
“I know people don’t want to hear that,” admits Carranza.
“It’s something that everybody’s looking at every day,” continues Malin, of Krier, when asked about the practicalities of line automation. “There’s costs associated with automation - and also automation doesn’t allow as much flexibility. If you automate for a very, very, very specific product or pack size, then in the co-manufacturing world, you don’t have control over your customers. For a co-packer to heavily automate some very, very specific products? It’s more difficult.”
2025 - the Year of Tariffs?
From a consumer standpoint, there’s few topics hotter in 2025 than discourse around economic tariffs. The new federal administration has made no secret of its intentions to impose import tariffs from countries like China, where many raw materials for beverage brands are sourced. Are co-packers concerned?
“It’s concerning, but less for us and more for the industry as a whole. The beverage industry traditionally runs on very, very tight margins,” says Roelke, of NOBL Beverages. “It’s going to be difficult to pass price through to consumers without having an impact on velocities.” While many co-packers specialize in just that - packing of materials - there are plenty who offer turnkey services as well. With that raw materials input (from bottles to boxes to liquid formulations), some may feel particularly exposed to price changes. “The copacker might say, I’m just here for tolling, and you bring your materials in, you do the research on finding materials to save five cents here, ten cents there,” says Carranza. “That’s definitely a concern for co-packers that are doing turnkey.”
It’s a thought shared by Semplay of Saphineia: “Unless you’re doing the full turnkey model, I’m not really concerned. The concerning thing is that ultimately they [the costs] get passed on to the consumer.”
Nevertheless, Semplay is bullish on the prospects over the coming year – and the investment environment around copacking facilities is one of the things driving that outlook.
“We’ve seen a huge amount of traffic in M&A deals that might be coming across versus a year ago to two years ago,” he said.
“I think there’s been a lot of dry powder sitting there with a lot of private equity guys, and they’re all itching to get deals done.”

Drain and compress filled or empty cans in one easy step with WEIMA! WEIMA America, Inc.
WEIMA packaging presses, can presses, recycling presses and beverage drainers reduce the waste volume and the disposal costs for liquids. The E- and G-Series drainage press from WEIMA offer an efficient way to drain cans of their contents in one easy step, increasing quality control and decreasing waste. Drainage press technology allows for rejected cans to be directly ejected into the machine’s hopper, which punctures them so the contents can be drained into its collection bin. The machine can also be hand-fed if necessary, and all rejected cans are easily compressed into Ø200mm discs for convenient recycling. The compressed discs of aluminum take up significantly less space than partially filled cans, maximizing valuable floor space between trips to the recycler and increasing the value of the aluminum due to its compressed form. The modular nature of these machines makes them easily integrated into existing canning lines. For breweries and other packaging/canning operations, WEIMA’s drainage press technology allows more time to focus on what matters most: sustainably creating a delicious, quality product.
