The co-packer has collaborated with SIIP to effectively launch their products into the market, employing a comprehensive range of trials and testing to ensure quality. This process highlights the importance of food and drink sustainability in the development phase.
Development efforts have included the precise blending of the product utilizing high shear mixers, coupled with the filling of liquid into specially designed PET squeezy bottles. These bottles are engineered to dispense an exact serving size, thus promoting efficient use—a key factor in modern sustainable packaging.
After filling, the bottles undergo capping and are adorned with a full-body shrink sleeve that includes anti-tamper features, resulting in a streamlined and premium appearance. Such attention to packaging design is crucial for food and drink marketing.
Once production concludes, the finished bottles are transferred to Complete Co-packing Services’ expansive 54,000 sq ft warehouse and fulfilment center. Here, they are stored and meticulously prepared for online orders, including purchases made through the Amazon platform, aligning with current consumer trends in food and drink marketing.
As part of the Fulfilment by Amazon (FBA) preparation, the Complete Co-packing Services team packs the bottles into multi-pack gift boxes. This innovative strategy allows consumers to sample various flavors while enjoying 90 drinks that can be served in multiple styles—hot, cold, still, or sparkling. This partnership has enabled SIIP to market a high-quality and versatile product while simultaneously minimizing their supply chain impacts and carbon footprint, reinforcing their commitment to food and drink sustainability.
Claire Gallagher, co-founder of SIIP, stated: “As a new brand, finding a trusted partner to handle your product can feel daunting, but Complete Co-Packing has truly exceeded our expectations. From the start, their high standards and commitment to quality have been evident in every aspect of their work. Their BRC AA-grade accreditation isn’t just a credential – it’s demonstrated daily across their hygiene, technical, QA, production, and goods handling practices. Every interaction and output reflect an exceptional level of care, accuracy, and professionalism.”
She continued, “One area where they [Complete Co-Packing] have been particularly invaluable is in planning and logistics. They are responsive, flexible, and accommodating, especially when unexpected challenges arise—something many new brands face when introducing innovation to the market.”
Sophie Thomas, business development manager at Complete Co-packing Services, added: “Partnering with a contract manufacturer and fulfilment partner empowers brands to focus on sales growth and branding. Meanwhile, the complexities of production are managed by a third-party with expertise and knowledge. Setting up a manufacturing and fulfilment facility entails numerous critical considerations, from food safety accreditations and licenses to hiring skilled staff and investing in specialized equipment. By collaborating with an experienced partner who already has these systems established, brands can dedicate their resources to building a robust identity in a competitive landscape.”
