List of Co-packers in Pennsylvania and Beyond

A co-packer, or co-manufacturer, is an established food company that processes and packages your product according to your specifications.
Updated:
August 19, 2018

You are out of the kitchen and can take advantage of their expertise. You also have more time to promote and distribute your product. However, costs are higher and there are a limited number of co-packers.

We list these co-packers as a service to you as you start to develop your product. We do not claim to have first-hand knowledge of these operations and do not endorse any particular company. We trust that you will do the necessary research to determine if they are in compliance with all local, state, and federal regulations and are a good fit for your business ambitions.

How to Choose a Co-Packer

Watch this short video from Specialty Food Association on what to assess when looking for a co-packer. Four experienced specialty food producers share their thoughts on the most important things to look for to find the right fit.
