Capabilities
Non-alcoholic beverages only. Formats we run today:

A beverage co-packer (contract packer) manufactures and packages a drink on behalf of the brand that owns it. The brand keeps the recipe, trademark, and customers; the co-packer supplies the facility, equipment, process expertise, and often ingredient sourcing. Upstate Beverage Consultants is a boutique co-packer in Greenville, South Carolina that handles formulation, aluminum canning, sourcing, and supply chain for non-alcoholic brands.
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.
Upstate Beverage Consultants runs 12 oz sleek cans most often, plus 12 oz standard, 8 oz sleek, and 16 oz standard aluminum cans, and 750 ml bottles. Ask about other formats when you submit a project; some are possible with lead time.
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.
