Existing recipe portfolio
From Fort Wayne, Indiana, Small Batch Co-Pack offers selected private-label products for nationwide U.S. service from an existing recipe portfolio, subject to project, package, sample, process, and production review. Packaging may be customized, and customers provide and approve their final branded labels.
Current portfolio
Private label begins with an existing Small Batch Co-Pack recipe rather than an unrestricted custom-formulation promise. The current portfolio includes three barbecue sauces, two mustard sauces, four seasonings, three pickle products, and two Bloody Mary mixes.
Availability and fit are confirmed for the specific project. Any requested recipe change must be evaluated and approved before it becomes part of a quote.
Five existing sauce options provide a defined recipe starting point. The selected product, package, label, quantity, and process still require review and approval.
Four existing seasoning options may be paired with compatible retail or larger dry packaging, subject to fill, seal, label, and equipment review.
Three pickle products and two Bloody Mary mixes are part of the current portfolio and are quoted according to the selected package and project.
Package planning
Retail display, how the customer uses the product, and the first-run budget should guide the package discussion. Request the selected recipe’s current specification and a production sample before committing to a label or container purchase.
| Product family | Format to discuss | Confirm for your project |
|---|---|---|
| Barbecue and mustard sauces | Compatible retail container or larger foodservice format. | Target fill, material, closure, dispensing behavior, label, and approved process. |
| Seasonings | Bottle, flat bag, stand-up zipper pouch, or larger bag-in-box. | Net weight, bulk density, opening, seal, label, and fill equipment. |
| Pickle products | A compatible jar or other approved format. | Piece size, pack and fill specification, closure, storage, and process requirements. |
| Bloody Mary mixes | Compatible retail or larger-format container. | Recipe selection, fill size, closure, storage, label, and process fit. |
Buying checklist
Typical starting quantities are approximately 40 gallons for hot-fill work and 60 pounds for dry-fill work. The practical minimum depends on the selected recipe, package, materials, and equipment; it is not a fixed number of cases shared across the entire portfolio.
Shortlist the flavor, intended use, and customer-facing package. Confirm current recipe availability and approve the required production sample.
Request a quote covering materials, production, labels, cases, technical work, and any freight, storage, or fulfillment you need.
Provide final branded artwork after package review. Typical first-run planning is six to eight weeks, subject to approvals, materials, and available capacity.
Your brand on the package
A private-label project can use a compatible customized packaging configuration. The customer provides and approves the final branded labels, while Small Batch Co-Pack reviews material, dimensions, unwind direction, application, ingredient information, and other production considerations within the agreed scope.
The team can suggest label printing companies and advise on the unwind direction needed for compatible machine application.
Support may include ingredient-statement assistance and coordination of applicable Nutrition Facts data through a local laboratory.
The team can explain general barcode needs, while the customer remains responsible for obtaining and approving its final barcode and label.
Project sequence
Using an existing recipe can shorten the formulation starting point, but it does not remove package, sample, sourcing, quantity, process, or scheduling decisions.
Identify the type of sauce, seasoning, pickle product, or Bloody Mary mix you are considering and describe your brand and intended sales channel.
Discuss the desired container or pouch, fill size, label plan, first-run quantity, cases, and destination.
Ingredients and packaging may be sourced by Small Batch Co-Pack, supplied by the customer, or divided between both parties.
The customer reviews and approves a production sample before the full run. A pilot run remains optional.
The customer approves final label artwork, and the signed quote defines scope, quantity, price, responsibilities, and timing.
The finished project can be prepared for pickup or freight or transferred into Small Batch 3PL when eligible.
Compare starting points
Private label is useful when an existing recipe aligns with the brand's product goals. Customer-recipe co-packing is the better path when the product depends on an existing recipe the customer wants evaluated for production.
Begin with a selected portfolio recipe and focus the review on package, brand label, quantity, sourcing, production, and fulfillment.
Bring a suitable home, restaurant, startup, or commercial recipe for refinement, scaling, sample work, and technical coordination.
