Here, Ayuray Organics describes the most important aspects to be considered while choosing it as the best beverage contract manufacturer in India along with the advantages of this partnership.
What is Beverage Contract Manufacturing?
Beverage contract manufacturing refers to those services where manufacturing and processing of beverages are assigned to or done by another manufacturer. They are involved in various activities related to the food and beverage manufacturing process, such asproduct preparation, processing ingredients and managing utilities, packaging and so on, all while maintaining QC/QA Parameters.
Contracting with a contract manufacturer allows beverage companies to have a lot of strategic business extensions and also achieve the requirements of production norms such as FSSAI.
Beverage Contract Manufacturing Process
Choosing a co-packer/contract manufacturer: The brand owner opts for a co-packer based on many factors, such as the capabilities of the co-manufacturer, his production capacity, geographic proximity, and of course, the prices they charge. There is a need for due diligence on the part of the owner against a very credible co-packer.
Formulation/recipe transfer: This provides the co-packer or contract manufacturer the recipe and specifications for the beverage product. This includes such things as ingredient amounts, processing stages, quality standards, and packages.
Quality Control: It is the strict responsibility of contract manufacturers to maintain quality control in order that the beverages produced meet the quality and safety required by the brand owner. Example testing of ingredients, quality checks during production, and most likely food safety protocols.
Manufacturing: The beverage product is manufactured according to the supplied recipe and specifications by the contract manufacturer. It refers to sourcing ingredients, mixing them, cooking, filling, sealing, and packaging.
Packaging: The co-packer could help in the design and sourcing of the packaging. They may provide different options for packaging such as bottles, cans, pouches, or cartons depending on the product.
Labelling and Branding: All the branding and labelling requirements of the brand owner go into the packaging. This would include the labels on the product names, ingredient lists, nutritional information, and any certifications required.
Regulatory Compliance: The co-packer will ensure that standards regarding food and beverage safety are followed.
Production Scale: Flexible production scale is made available by contract manufacturing. It could be used for production in small quantities to test the market or large-scale manufacture for nationwide distribution.
Distribution: The above beverages will be manufactured, packaged, and then distributed to retailers, wholesalers, or directly to consumers according to the distribution strategy of the brand owner.
Cost Structure: The fee structure of contract manufacturing costs for ingredient sourcing, processing, labor, packaging, and quality control. The co-packer usually charges the brand owner per unit cost or batch produced.
Legal: Normally, there will becontracts between brand owner and co-packer. This is toprotect the interests of both parties.
In summary, it is the most cost-effective form of contract manufacturing for brand owners to get products into the market and save major capital investment in manufacturing facilities and equipment. This, in effect, frees brand owners to develop their strategies for building their brands and developing their product lines.
