Co-packer: "Our MOQ is 50,000 units."
Brands with 400 pre-orders: 😶
Ask: per SKU or per run? Can the run be split?
Aekovera: on route to building the fastest sourcing system for CPG brands.

Most founders pick a co packer after one call and a walk through the website.
Ask what similar products they have actually run this year, and whether one of those brands will talk to you.
Then get two things in writing before you send a deposit. Who owns your formula if you leave, and how they keep the last brand's allergens out of your batch.
A plant that cannot answer those is not ready for your first run.

Some big launches in ‘27
So we’re doubling down on real photography
AI is amazing but can only take you so far
Stoked to see this come to life!
Most founders set a launch date before they lock packaging.
Printed film and cartons can take 8 to 12 weeks once art is final. If the converter is overseas, add ocean transit and customs on top.
Lock the pack supplier and a written lead time before you promise a shelf date to retail.

Ball's can plant in Millersburg, Ore. is running after a summer start and aims for full capacity in 2027. Startup costs were $10M in Q3 alone, with energy-drink and non-alcoholic beverage can demand still strong.

🚨The HOUSE and SENATE have BOTH GONE BLUE 🇺🇸
Here are the implications on American manufacturing. Comment below if you disagree.
Most plants do not turn small brands away because the recipe is bad.
They say no because the first order is too small to cover a wash and setup, or the formula needs a line they do not have open this quarter.
Bring a real first order size, a target cost per unit, and a ship window you can actually hit. That gets a yes faster than a pitch deck.

Joy Supply, a Brooklyn-based clean cookie brand, secured $700K in seed funding led by Sling Ventures.
Launched in May 2026 by Lindsay Leopold, a former pastry chef and product developer for Martha Stewart, Joy Supply uses a family recipe from 1908 to bake thin and crispy oat cookies.
Joy Supply’s cookies are made with whole-grain oats grown on regenerative American farms. Their cookies are also free from artificial colors, artificial flavors, fake sugars, and preservatives.
Joy Supply will use the capital to scale production and expand further into retail.

Push Matcha, the No. 1 matcha brand in Latin America, is launching its ultra-functional matcha latte line in the U.S. in January.
Dubbed The OG Functional Matcha Latte, each stick delivers 1.5g of dual creatine complex, 4g of prebiotic fiber, and 1.5g of first harvest Japanese matcha.
The product is also formulated with creatine HCl, which is far less likely to cause stomach bloating and digestive discomfort than standard creatine.
Former investment banker and Forbes 30 Under 30 honoree Bruno Rohlfs launched Push Matcha in 2021. Now he's bringing Push Matcha to the U.S. alongside Co-Founder and Chairman Georgios Frangulis, the founder of Oakberry.
USA Factory Network had the opportunity to showcase what we’ve been doing these last couple of months to the University of Miami Business School

Two kinds of co packer quotes, and founders mix them up all the time.
Turnkey means the plant buys your ingredients and packaging. Higher price per unit, but less of your cash sits in a warehouse.
Tolling means you buy and ship everything in, and they just run it. Cheaper per unit, but now you own the inventory, the freight and the shortages.
Ask which one you're getting before you compare prices.
