South Carolina · Beverage co-packing

A beverage co-packer in South Carolina

Our facility is at 6 Whitlee Ct in Greenville, in the Upstate. South Carolina brands from Greenville to Columbia, Charleston, and the Grand Strand can with us without leaving the state.

Logistics

In-state production

Columbia is about 100 miles away on I-26, and Charleston is further down the same interstate. Upstate brands are a short drive from the line.

Producing in-state keeps freight short and simple, and makes it easy to be on site for the pilot, a production day, or a pickup.

Run sizes and formats

From a first run to full production

Runs start around 2,500 cans. A typical client run is about 20,000 cans, and our largest clients run 100,000 to 250,000 cans at a time.

Every run is logged: pre-op inspection, scale and pH calibration, seam and seal checks, finished-product pH, dissolved oxygen and CO2, and a pre-shipment review. Product is held until the lab certificate of analysis clears, typically 3 to 5 days.
