Contract Packaging: Applies to companies that may need the services of our manufacturing facility. Often, a company finds that FDA and other regulators as well as the cost of equipment, inventory, and licensed facility with licensed personnel can be very prohibitive. In addition, this ties up much of the company’s assets, time, and money in manufacturing and leaves less time for taking the product to market and soliciting or filling orders. Hiring a contract packager such as Backwoods Food Mfg., Inc. can free up your valuable time for selling more product.

Product recipes will need to be developed to manufacturing levels according to the size increments employed by Backwoods Food Mfg., Inc. (See Recipe Development).
