Beverage re-packing and co-packing, also known as contract packaging, is a value-added service that enables beverage companies to scale production without investing in costly logistics infrastructure. Canadian re-packing services that Stryder Canada provides are readily available in Metro Vancouver and Calgary, Alberta, to support a wide variety of ready-to-drink (RTD) products, from soft drinks and functional beverages such as energy drinks. We’re here to support your beverage brand.

Here’s how beverage re-packing and co-packing services work and how Stryder Canada helps beverage companies through manual and automated re-packing services.

What is Beverage Re-Packing & Co-Packing: How Do They Work?

 

Beverage re-packing and co-packing, also known as contract packaging, are value-added services where a third-party company labels and packages beverages on behalf of a brand. Re-packing & co-packing services allow beverage companies to reduce capital investment, scale production quickly, access specialized equipment, and focus on brand growth and innovation.

For example, a beverage startup launching a new canned cold brew can partner with a re-packer or co-packer to handle batching, packaging, and labeling, enabling faster market entry without the cost of building its own facility.

In 2023, the global contract packaging industry was worth USD 69.35 billion globally and is expected to grow steadily, reaching approximately USD 105.5 billion by 2030 (6.2% CAGR), driven by rising demand for outsourced packaging services, according to Grand View Research Inc., emphasizing the value that both re-packing and co-packing services have in today’s world.
