How it works
Performance Co-Packing packs tree nuts, dried fruit and snack products under its customers’ brands in Hughson, California, and every program follows the same six steps.
Three terms
Packs and labels food under a brand’s own name, on the packer’s lines. Some only pack; others also source, season and blend.
Makes the product from raw ingredients, then packs it. Many plants do some of each.
A product made to a brand’s or retailer’s specifications and sold under that name.
What runs in the plantQuote to shipment
01
Send your product, pack format, pouch size, annual volume and target timing in one form. A link to your current product or label helps.
02
Settle the pack: a stand-up pouch from 3 oz to 3 lb, a pillow bag from 1 oz to 5 lb, or club packs and cases for the shelf you sell to.
03
Supply your own product or have it sourced and seasoned here. You see a free render of your pouch, then a physical sample before full production.
04
Your product is weighed, filled and sealed on the line, in a peanut- and glass-free facility.
05
Runs get attention to package seals, product-to-pack accuracy, lot coding and case labels, under a PrimusGFS-certified food safety program.
06
Cases are coded, sealed and palletized for domestic shipping or an overseas container, with inventory support for the next run.
Before a first run
Ask which formats and sizes they run, the minimum order, the food safety certification, the allergen rules, who supplies packaging and the lead time. Performance Co-Packing’s short answers: stand-up pouches 3 oz to 3 lb, 40,000 bags, PrimusGFS and a peanut-free plant; ask the last two with your quote.
Yes. A free digital render comes at the quote stage, for planning rather than print, and a physical sample of your packaging comes before full production.
Request a free renderNo. Send your own product to pack, or let PCP source it from 33 tree nuts, dried fruits and legumes and season or blend it to your recipe.
Build a mixA co-packer spares you building, staffing and certifying your own plant, and its audits come with it. The trade-offs are minimum orders, sharing a schedule with other brands and less hands-on control of the line.
PCP’s minimum is 40,000 stand-up bags, which suits brands already selling in volume or launching into retail. Brands below that often start with a small-batch packer and move up.
