Are you a manufacturer?
Sorry not, Darryl’s Ice Cream Solutions, LLC is a knowledgable consulting service, specializing in dairy and plant-based frozen products.
I’ve been making a product at home and experiencing an increase in demand, can you help me find a co-pack manufacturer?
Yes – possibly, but first you’ll need to schedule consulting time in order to clearly understand all that is required before making the introduction. Finding the “right fit” manufacturer is important and will specialize in the client’s type of product. Schedule a 10-hour series to get you prepared.
- Call: 2 hours – cover product composition & specifications, current production process and ingredients
- Call: 2 hours – product test feedback from first meeting discussion. Review ingredients, process, flavors and formula suggestions
- Call: 1 hour – review co-packer requirements for packaging, ingredients, formula, production size, time frame and initial estimated cost
- Call: 1 hour – formula review, confirming if commercial production ready or if additional tasks are necessary
- Call: 1 hour – product characteristics changes when product is made on commercial equipment
- Call: 1 hour – label requirements, package specifications, suppliers
- Call: 2 hours – estimated time line and budget from first PO, monitoring first production, warehousing and product distribution
The information covered in our 10-hour session will be specific to your product and business requirements. Post-training, you’ll be better prepared to speak informatively with the co-pack manufacturer.
