About Find A Co-Packer

What is on this site

One question, "find a co-packer", answered with a quote form that works on the page with no account, 4 guides on the questions around it, a data table you can cite (the figures and their method), and the sources every figure rests on.

• The co-packer brief: eight answers that get quotes back: Why enquiries go unanswered, and the eight specifications that turn silence into comparable quotes from packers who can actually do the work.
• Who is responsible for what: the brand or the packer: The label, the registration and the recipe. Three things brands assume the packer covers, and the food business operator rules that say otherwise.
• What drives a co-packing price, and why we publish none: Seven cost drivers you can reason about without a number, and why a published per-unit range would do more harm than good.
• Visiting and vetting a co-packer before you commit: What to look at, what to ask, and the three answers that should end a conversation before a first run is booked.

Find A Co-Packer is an independent site operated by Ellul Solutions Ltd. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by or connected to the Food Standards Agency, any certification scheme owner, any retailer or any contract packer, and it is not a manufacturer, a broker or a food safety consultancy. Nothing here is legal or regulatory advice on a particular product, and responsibility for a product's compliance rests with the food business operator whose name is on it, which is the brand. We name no packer in either direction, take no commission on any contract and carry no paid placements. We publish no per-unit price or minimum order quantity anywhere, because those are set per packer and per specification and a published range would be used as a benchmark it is not. Every regulatory statement is taken from the source cited on this page and read on the date shown at the top of it.
