Co-Packing

Traditional Co-Packing involves a contractual agreement to have Panola Foods create and package your product for you to take to market.

Typically, the customer provides a finished formulation and procedures for Panola Foods to adhere in our facility. The end result is a retail ready package created to our specifications.

If a finished formulation and procedures are not finalized prior to the contractual agreement, Panola Foods offers services and expertise to assist in the process.
