Frequently asked

Do you tunnel pasteurize?+

Tunnel pasteurization is available for products that need it. Whether your product needs it depends on pH, ingredients, and shelf-life target, which we assess during formulation review.

Sleeved cans or printed cans?+

Both. Shrink sleeves suit smaller runs and frequent artwork changes. Printed cans lower the per-unit cost at higher volumes but require larger can orders and longer lead times. We help you choose based on your run size.

Who supplies the cans, ends, and ingredients?+

Either side can. Many clients have us source cans, ends, trays, and ingredients through our supplier relationships; others supply their own. Client-supplied materials are received against a purchase order and tracked by lot.

Can you run both carbonated and still beverages?+

Yes. The line fills still and carbonated non-alcoholic beverages in aluminum cans. Carbonation level is set during formulation and confirmed on the pilot run before production.

How do I see what is happening during my canning run?+

Through the client portal. Runs are tracked as they move through the schedule, materials are received and consumed by lot, and you can check status without waiting on an email. That is what white-glove transparency means in practice.
