At a certain point, you can’t do it all yourself. You’ve built a great product, your sales are growing, and now you need help making more of it—consistently, safely, and at scale. That’s where co-packers come in.
A co-packer (short for contract packer or contract manufacturer) is a production partner. They help you move from small-batch to big-league by manufacturing your product to spec—freeing you up to focus on sales, marketing, and growth.
But not all co-packers are the same. Some specialize in hot fill or refrigerated products. Others work with snacks, sauces, or supplements. And finding one that’s the right fit for your product, volume, and budget? That can take forever.
We’ve pulled together this list to make your search easier. These Ontario-based co-packers have been selected for their relevance to emerging and scaling food and beverage brands. Click through, reach out, and keep growing.
Your next production partner might be just a few clicks away.

A co-packer (short for contract packer) is a third-party manufacturer that produces, packages, and sometimes helps formulate your food or beverage product. Instead of building your own production facility, you can partner with a co-packer to scale efficiently — letting you focus on sales, marketing, and growth.
Co-packers typically provide equipment, labor, and certifications you might not have in-house. Some offer full turnkey solutions (sourcing ingredients and packaging), while others require you to bring your own materials. The right co-packer can help you produce at volume, maintain consistency, and meet regulatory requirements as you grow.
You’re likely ready for a co-packer if you’ve outgrown your current production setup and have steady demand — or clear visibility into future orders. Co-packers work best with brands that have dialed-in recipes, consistent ingredient sourcing, and packaging specs that can scale.
Before approaching one, make sure your product is finalized (not still in development), your margins can support outsourced production, and you understand your minimum order needs. Having clear documentation, forecasting, and food safety plans will also set you up for a smoother partnership.
