Whether you're a grocery chain, food service operator, e-commerce brand, or specialty retailer — we connect you with vetted manufacturers who specialize in your product category and are actively taking on new private label programs.
There is no fee to submit an RFQ or to receive manufacturer introductions through our network.
Every manufacturer in our network is reviewed by the CPA — the national trade association for contract packaging.
Our network spans food & beverage, health & beauty, household, pet, and general merchandise categories.
From large grocery chains to emerging DTC brands — if you need a manufacturer to produce products under your brand, we can help.
Build margin-rich store brands that anchor customer loyalty and differentiate your assortment from competitors. Private label can represent 20–40% of a grocer's total sales.
Standardize your menu, control food costs, and brand your own proprietary items across every location. From quick-service chains to institutional cafeterias.
Launch new categories quickly under your brand without owning production. Private label gives online brands the product depth needed to compete with national brands.
Club store private label programs demand high volume, tight specs, and reliable quality. Our manufacturer network is experienced with the requirements of club-format retail.
Offer premium private label products aligned with your store's values — organic, clean-label, Non-GMO, kosher, or allergen-free. Certifications secured.
Create branded amenity products, specialty food items, and guest-facing products that reinforce your property's identity and deliver a premium brand experience.
The more information you include in your RFQ, the faster and more accurate our manufacturer matching will be. Here's what to have ready.
What is the product? What form does it take (liquid, powder, solid, packaged good)? What are the key ingredients or components?
What is your initial order quantity and expected annual volume? Higher volumes open more manufacturer options and drive better pricing.
What is your target retail price and desired gross margin? Working backwards from shelf price helps manufacturers understand your cost targets.
Do you require organic, kosher, halal, Non-GMO, gluten-free, SQF, BRC, or other certifications? Specify these up front to narrow the right manufacturer pool.
What type of packaging do you need — pouch, bottle, can, carton, bulk? Do you have retail-ready or club-format requirements?
When do you need product on shelf? Allow time for formulation review, production setup, label development, and shipping logistics.
Do you have a preference for US-based manufacturing, or are you open to co-packing in specific regions for freight efficiency?
