Repacking Questions, Answered
More in our full FAQ.
Do I need to produce my beverage with Palate Pack to use repacking?
No. Ship-in repacking is a standalone service — brands that manufacture anywhere can ship finished cans or bottles to our Lincoln, Rhode Island facility for carton packing, variety-pack assembly, or tray packing.
What is the minimum order for repacking?
Minimums depend on your pack format, SKU count, and carton situation, so we scope them per project rather than quoting a one-size-fits-all number. Request a project review and we'll confirm the minimum for your exact configuration.
How fast can you turn a repacking project around?
Lead time depends on carton availability, volume, and line scheduling. Submit your project details and we'll give you a real timeline as part of your quote — typically we respond within 1 business day.
Can you mix different flavors in one pack?
Yes. We assemble mixed-SKU variety packs. The SKU mix, flavor sequence, and carton configuration are confirmed for your project.
Production + Repacking Under One Roof
Going inline? We can take your beverage from ingredients to retail-ready multi-packs in a single facility.
