Co-packaging

It should be pointed out that co-packaging is a distinctly different service from general private labeling services. Even though, on the surface, they do seem to serve the same purpose, there are distinct differences which distinguish private labeling from co-packaging. The main differences come down to the pricing, ownership of the formula and the process of production.

Other packaging

Co-packing services are most frequently used in food, cosmetics, medical and pharmaceutical industries. Co-packers are companies that manufacture and package products that are sold by another company who has ownership over their own product formula.

Co-packaging services

Co-packaging services allow a client to have ownership over their own formula for a product, which then the contracted manufacturer will produce. However, the customer will retain all their rights to the product which is produced. Usually, these services come with non-disclosure agreements between the clients and manufacturers. That agreement entails that the manufacturer and producer of the product, which the client contracted, are obliged not to, or are forbidden to further produce, share or market that product and its formula on their own. That agreement holds until the client who is holding the rights to the formula approves.

Differences between co-packaging and private labeling

What differentiates co-packaging from standard private labeling is that often the private labeling manufacturers produce their own formula for the client under the client's private label. Although, often clients can and will seek from private labeling companies to create and produce their own formula. A lot of manufacturing companies allow such services in those cases, and do provide the availability of producing a specific and distinct formula that is not their own but is part of their expertise. However, what differentiates their services from standard co-packaging is that under an agreement the manufacturing company which produced the formula holds ownership of it. Once the manufacturers in private label business have been contracted for the production of a distinct client's formula, they would need the research and ingredients which they provide themselves. Therefore, they usually hold the rights over the formula's production and share.
