Most co-packers never publish their minimum. Brands spend weeks calling around to find out, and co-packers field enquiries they were never going to take. We publish the numbers, with the source and the date we checked — for every US beverage co-packer and drink manufacturer we track.
Search "drink manufacturer" and you'll get two different answers mixed together: the global brands that make their own product (Coca-Cola, PepsiCo, AB InBev), and the contract facilities that make a drink on behalf of someone else. This site tracks the second kind — also called co-packer, co-manufacturer, contract manufacturer, or contract bottler. Same equipment, same process, four names for the same relationship: you own the brand and the recipe, they own the line.
Counted in cases alone, published minimums start at a dozen cases, and the trade norm for a can line runs up to 5,000. Most facilities never say where they sit.
Logarithmic scale, in cases only: 12 cases on the left, 5,000 on the right. Minimums published in pallets, units, gallons or barrels are left off, because placing them here would mean converting them.
Full breakdown — beverage co-packer minimum order quantities →
Two hundred and thirty-six verified facilities across forty-six states. One tile per state, labelled with its count — no shade to decode. Highlighted states have their own page.
Minimum run, whether formulation is included, and lead time. A brand that knows those three can narrow the market in an afternoon instead of weeks of calls.
They're almost never published. Directories list a company name and a sentence. Consultancies hold the information behind a contact form. So the calls get made anyway, to the wrong facilities.
Every entry carries its source and the date it was last checked. Where a figure isn't published, the cell says so. We don't estimate a minimum and present it as fact — a wrong number here costs somebody a wasted quarter.
Run a facility? Send us your current numbers and we'll correct the entry, with your name on it. No charge, no listing fee.
Tell us the product and the volume. We come back with facilities that can actually run it — not a list of everyone in the state.
Brands arrive here looking for a facility — they tell us the category, the format, the volume and the timeline. When a brand pays us to run its search and its project matches what you run, we send it to you, free.
Guides and reference tables, all built on the same verified base. Nothing here is estimated — every figure carries its source and the date we checked it.
