Premium RTD Beverage Co-Packing

For brands building ready-to-drink products where taste, texture, and formulation actually matter.

Traditional co-packing relies on high-heat processes that can dull flavor, flatten complexity, or break sensitive ingredients. ColdSnap was built for products that can’t afford that tradeoff.

We help brands develop and scale shelf-stable beverages that still taste like the original formulation from first batch through production.

ColdSnap is proud to be SQFI certified, which means our production practices meet rigorous food safety and quality regulations recognized worldwide.

BEVERAGE CO-PACKING FAQs

What is RTD beverage co-packing?

RTD beverage co-packing is when a manufacturing partner helps produce and package your ready-to-drink beverage. That can include mixing, formulation support, heat treatment, filling, and packaging finished cans for distribution.

What types of beverages can ColdSnap co-pack?

ColdSnap co-packs shelf-stable ready-to-drink beverages, including coffee, smoothies, protein drinks, cocktails, mocktails, and other beverage concepts in the RTD category

What makes ColdSnap different from a traditional beverage co-packer?

Many conventional shelf-stable beverage processes can create caramelized or metallic off-notes, especially in products where flavor nuance is important. ColdSnap’s co-packing positioning centers on a unique process designed to better protect product integrity during heat treatment, while also offering in-house formulation expertise.

Why does the processing method matter for RTD beverages?

For many shelf-stable beverages, the processing method can have a major effect on taste, aroma, and overall product quality. If your beverage contains sensitive flavors, proteins, coffee, or functional ingredients, excessive heat exposure can change the finished product in ways that are difficult to recover from. ColdSnap’s process is positioned around helping reduce that risk.

Can ColdSnap help with beverage formulation?

Yes. ColdSnap has an in-house food and beverage team with formulation expertise.

What can sizes do you support?

ColdSnap is set up to fill, retort, and pack 250 ml (8.4 oz) slim cans.

What production capacity does ColdSnap have?

Our canning facility can produce 80–120 cans per minute and has capacity to produce 40 million cans per year. We are able to partner from pilot to scale.

Do you handle both low-acid and high-acid beverages?

ColdSnap has existing licenses for low- and high-acid products, and can work on a wide range of RTD beverage concepts

How do I know if ColdSnap is the right fit for my product?

ColdSnap is likely a strong fit if you have a shelf-stable RTD beverage in slim cans and care deeply about flavor quality, and product integrity.

Why Co-Pack with ColdSnap

THE PROBLEM

Most RTD beverages are produced using high-heat sterilization methods designed for efficiency, not quality. This can result in unwanted metallic or caramelized notes in the finished product

That works for commodity products. It doesn’t work for premium ones

Additionally, smaller production runs are often not available for growth-driven, innovative brands

THE SOLUTION

ColdSnap uses a proprietary process to

Preserve flavor integrity
Maintain texture and mouthfeel
Protect sensitive ingredients
Deliver consistent, shelf-stable results

This makes us a fit for products that are:

Flavor-forward
Ingredient-sensitive
