Co-Packing Services - Beer, Pop, Water & Beverages
Bring your beverage to life with an experienced production partner in Guelph, Ontario.
Royal City Brewing provides co-packing support for beer, pop, water, and other carbonated or non-carbonated beverages. Whether you are preparing a first production run, adding capacity, or expanding your product line, our team can help move your beverage from plan to packaged product.
What is beverage co-packing?
Co-packing—also called contract production or contract packaging—means working with an established production facility to make and package a beverage for your brand. It can give beverage companies access to production capacity and experienced operators without having to build and operate their own facility.
A co-packing relationship is built around agreed product specifications, volumes, packaging requirements, and timelines. Each project is reviewed individually so the production plan reflects the needs of the beverage and the brand.

Who co-packing is for
Co-packing may be a good fit for:
- New beverage brands preparing for commercial production
- Established brands that need additional or overflow capacity
- Businesses expanding into a new beverage category
- Brands preparing for retail, hospitality, events, or distribution
- Teams that want a repeatable production and packaging process
Built around your brand
Every beverage project is different. We scope each opportunity individually based on your product, process, expected volume, packaging needs, and timeline. The result is a clear production plan built around your brand and your goals.
Project fit can depend on factors such as ingredients, formulation readiness, alcohol content, carbonation level, packaging compatibility, production volume, scheduling, and applicable labelling or regulatory requirements.
How the co-packing process works
- Tell us about your product. Share the beverage type, formulation status, target package, expected volume, and timing.
- We review the fit. Our team considers the product and production requirements and identifies the best path forward.
- We build the plan. Together, we confirm specifications, scheduling, packaging, responsibilities, and the steps required before production.
- We produce and pack. Your beverage is made and packaged according to the agreed project specifications.
- We plan what comes next. For repeat projects, we can discuss future production timing and volume requirements.
