From backyard recipe to commercial success, Croix Valley helps brands turn their unique formulas into shelf-ready, retail-quality products — with full transparency and award-winning production support.
What is copacking?
Co-packing, or contract manufacturing, is the process of producing and packaging your custom recipe under your brand name — using our certified facility, equipment, and expertise. At Croix Valley, we help bring your unique products to life, whether you're launching a new sauce, seasoning, or specialty blend. You supply the recipe; we handle the rest — with full transparency, regulatory support, and small-batch precision. Interested in putting your label on an existing quality product?
