What is a food co-packer?

Partnering with a co-packer allows your team to focus on core business functions while we handle the complexities of packaging and fulfillment. Simply put, we do the complicated things you don't want to do. 

We enable top consumer brands to launch more items in less time. Our state-of-the-art production facilities and packaging services allow national brands to create flexibility in their supply chain. We're not just packing finished product (though we do that a lot). We can also co-manufacture packaging and work with you on packaging design innovation.

With over 1,000,000 square feet of climate-controlled space, talk to us today about how creative werks can solve your complex problems.

Protecting your brand from start to finish.

At creative werks, we believe it is important to set our own benchmarks – ones that are well above the industry standards for good manufacturing practices. This not only applies to our Operations roles but throughout our business. Safety and Quality are baked into the culture of creative werks.
