Who we work with

Built for brands with real volume, and for brands about to have it

We are selective about fit. Fewer projects means each one gets the team's attention, and you always know where your run stands.

Emerging brands

Your first production run

You have a concept, a kitchen recipe, or a finished formula and need it canned properly the first time. We scale the recipe, source the materials, and walk you through each step.

For emerging brands

Frequently asked

What is a beverage co-packer?+

What kinds of beverages does Upstate Beverage Consultants co-pack?+

Non-alcoholic beverages in aluminum cans: functional drinks, hemp-derived THC and CBD beverages, sparkling and still soft drinks, ready-to-drink coffee and tea, and non-alcoholic alternatives. If your product needs a still or carbonated fill in a can, it is likely in scope.

Our facility is at 6 Whitlee Ct, Greenville, South Carolina 29607, roughly two hours from Charlotte and Atlanta. Most of the brands we produce for are in the Carolinas, Florida, and the wider Southeast, and we also produce for brands based as far away as New England, Texas, and Montana.

What is the minimum run size at Upstate Beverage Consultants?+

Runs start around 2,500 cans. A typical client run at Upstate Beverage Consultants is about 20,000 cans, and our largest clients run 100,000 to 250,000 cans at a time, so a first run and a scaled brand fit on the same line.
