How Our Custom sauce co-packing Program works

Sauce Recipe Development & Production

Our Custom Sauce Co-packing Program is designed for customers who have their own hot sauce / BBQ sauce / wing sauce / etc. recipes which they would like produced in larger volume. Co-Packing estimates cannot be quoted upfront without knowing the details of your recipes, but we can start by explaining the minimums so you can see if this fits in with your expectations and budgets. We brew in small-batch 100 gallon kettles and typically bottle hot sauces in 5oz. woozy bottles. This scenario would net approximately 2,500 bottles of finished product. We can sometimes brew in lesser amounts depending on the recipe.

Our start-up sauce development program can be anywhere from $250.00 for a price quote, to $2,700.00 for the full development (ready-for-production) program. Variations will exist based on how far along in the process each customer is with their recipe/s and what specific needs each customer has. The holistic process typically takes about a month depending on the time of year.

To get acquainted and determine if we are a good match for producing your hot sauce recipes (or BBQ sauce, chicken wing sauce, etc.), we will first perform an initial no-cost review of your recipe and preparation/cooking process. We will need the following items to be able to perform an initial review of any recipes:

a signed Non-Disclosure Agreement (NDA)
a finalized batch recipe with exact weight/volume measurements
net volume results of the recipe batch
a description of your preparation/cooking process

If we determine we are a good match for production, we will customize a specific development program for each customer and each recipe based on your needs. We ask at this point that the customers send us samples of their products so we can examine the product color, consistency, texture, etc. Our hot sauce Co-Packing Program options include:

Pricing Your Product: If you would like to get a price quote for your product prior to doing any test batching or consulting, we can provide that to you. This option includes our time and research efforts needed to identify your recipe ingredients availability and costs. (Individual fee applies)

Consultation & Set-up: This option includes establishing and account with us, setting up the details of your recipes in our development system, and conference call discussion sessions and/or in-person visits in which we talk about your product and spend the time needed to get your product going with us. (Individual fee applies)

Test Batch and PH Testing: This option includes sourcing/purchasing the needed ingredients in order to make a test batch of your product and Ph-test your product to make sure that it is within range of us being able to safely produce it. (Individual fee applies)

Nutritional Panel: This option includes performing the required lab testing of your recipe/s to establish the nutrition panel. (Individual fee applies)

Process Authority: This option involves the additional required lab development to get the individual recipe Process Authority completed. (Individual fee applies)

Label Design: This option involves the label design/creation if you need assistance creating the label. If you have artwork already, we can use that and will advise if any revisions are necessary. (Individual fee applies)

How our custom seasoning / rub co-packing program works

Seasoning & Rub Recipe Development & Production

Our Custom Seasoning and Rub Co-packing Program is designed for customers who have their own seasoning recipes which they wish to have produced. Co-Packing estimates cannot be quoted upfront without knowing the details of your recipes, but we can start by explaining the minimums and how our initial recipe sample development process works, so you can see if this fits in with your expectations and budget.

The start-up development fee is $100 plus materials (raw goods and packaging) which is typically about $30, but can vary depending on the type of seasonings/materials required and how much of a sample you desire. If we need to perform a volume to weight conversion then there will be an additional $50.00 fee. PepperNutz will custom blend almost any dry seasoning recipe (assuming any unique ingredients can be sourced) and provide up to 3 unique packaging size samples.

To get started, Customers must provide:

Your recipe with all individual ingredients measured by weight (grams), including total net weight of the packaged final product
Identification of any name brand ingredients used in your recipe, so we can attempt to match to the details
Confirmation of your intended bottle size and net weight of contents for the final production product
Confirmation of the total quantity of sample blend desired (between 5 to 35 lbs.)

Customers will receive:

Up to 6 packed sample items and excess in a bulk bag
Confirmation of the final blended recipe measurements per container
Price quotes and minimum order details (minimums can be as low as 48 units)

Once this process is completed, we are ready for production. For additional information or to begin this process, please submit an inquiry using the form below or call us @ 1-855-PEP-NUTZ.
