Two ways to prepare for your co-packer.

Bench Kit

You have a formula, ingredients, and packaging. Send the ingredients and packaging together and we’ll turn your formula into physical samples of your beverage.

  • Your product in hand. Bring a physical sample that shows your co-packer what you want to reproduce.
  • Full assessment report. Bring documented bench results, packaging details, and a prioritized list of what to validate before scaling.

Turnkey Bench Kit

You have a beverage concept. We develop the formula, source and procure ingredients, and select packaging for your samples.

  • Your product in hand. Bring a physical sample developed from your brief as a reference for your first run.
  • Full assessment report. Get the developed formula, bench findings, ingredient and packaging suppliers, itemized material pricing, and the next steps for scale-up.

Get ready to copack.

A co-packer needs a clear product target, packaging specs, and enough technical detail to evaluate line fit and scope a run. Vessel gets those pieces together with your samples and a full assessment report in print and digital formats.

Your samples and assessment give our co-packing partner, Craft Co., a starting point to review your product, discuss minimums and quoting, and identify what still needs validation before a pilot or larger run. You can also take the same materials to any co-packer you choose.

Ready to run? If your formula and packaging are defined, bring your product specs and target volume to our production partner, Craft Co., to discuss line fit, minimums, and quoting.
