Private-Label Beverage Manufacturing for Grocery Stores
Your store. Your beverage. Your brand. Stop growing someone else's brand — grow your own.
Palate Pack helps grocery stores build private label beverage programs — sparkling waters, craft sodas, iced teas, juice drinks, and functional beverages — produced in Lincoln, Rhode Island.
Why Grocery Stores Choose Private Label
Your aisles tell a story. Your beverages should too.
Your Store Brand
Develop your own beverage program with formulation and packaging matched to your stores.
Brand Differentiation
Develop a beverage with your store's name on it, with a format and formulation matched to your program.
Quality Control
pH and Brix checks on every batch, fill-temperature logging, fill-level and cap checks on the line, lot-coded cases, and retained batch records.
Full Production Programs
Production programs are built around full runs. Private-label programs typically run a truckload or more per year. Pilot runs are available to validate a new product before scaling. Tell us your volume and we'll give you a straight answer.
