Let Us Break It Down For You

Beverage Development

Concept Development

Collaborate with our team of professionals and let’s take your idea to the drawing board to personalize your beverage concept. This phase allows us to perfect your vision, discuss ideas and identify your needs and requirements. We will walk you through price options and customize the perfect package to bring your concept to life.

Beverage Formulation

The next step is the formulation creation and flavor sampling process. This is one of the most crucial steps in the creation of your concept as we will define and essentially create your beverage. We look forward to providing you with the needed support whether you are creating a carbonated, non carbonated, functional drink or even a first of its kind new creation!

Beverage Packaging

At the same time that the beverage is being formulated, the production team evaluates the use of aluminum cans, plastic bottles, glass bottles or any of the other types of beverage packaging available.

Packaging/Label Design

Let’s work together and deliver a great first impression for your brand. Our in house design team is on standby to assist in your label and packaging design.

Beverage Manufacturing

Packaging Solutions

This includes several components. The first of which was implemented in the Beverage Development stage which included beverage packaging and the label design. The second is the use of packaging including but not limited to the master carton, which could be trays, 4 packs, 6 packs, or 12 packs; counter displays, bottle design, design of lids and tabs, design of bottle caps, etc. Some beverages require all the bells and whistles and others follow the simpler route and use plain and basic packaging which still look top notch.

Raw Material Sourcing

Raw materials used for the production of beverages include the container, materials used for the packaging & labeling, and all ingredients, flavors, water, sugar, juices, etc. Tracking the use of the raw materials, raw material storage and management of raw materials is all part of beverage manufacturing.

Beverage Manufacturer

It is important to only work with the best beverage manufacturers available as this can be the difference between success and failure of a beverage. Every beverage manufacturer has a specific manufacturing focus and are not capable of meeting all manufacturing needs. For example some beverage manufactures specialize only in aluminum cans, some only plastic bottles, some only glass bottles, some use only carbonation, some use a pasteurization process, some are capable of only filling certain size containers, etc. The Drink Ink has been dealing with all types of beverage manufacturers for many years and has a great deal of experience in selecting the best manufacturer for your specific needs.
