A co-packer, or contract packager, is a company that produces and packages products on behalf of a brand, most commonly in food, beverage, supplement, and household categories. Like a contract manufacturer, a co-packer lets a brand scale production without owning a facility, handling mixing, filling, and packaging to the brand's specification. The terms co-packer and contract manufacturer overlap and are often used interchangeably.
