Hiring a co-packing business may seem like a costly endeavor, but partnering with a professional and reliable co-packing business can make your food business far more successful in the long run. Collaborating with co-packers such as Dure Foods can expand your business and make it far more successful than working alone. Here are four ways that a co-packer can expand your business.
Larger food production
No matter how talented you are at making your recipes, there is only so much you’re able to do on your own. A successful large food business requires substantial food production, and the right co-packer can help with that. Co-packers are trained to learn your recipe and replicate it successfully. Having the co-packer handle food production also gives you time to focus on other aspects of the business, such as selling your product and contacting clients. There are many aspects of owning a business, and you want your business to expand, doing it all alone would become increasingly difficult. If you’re planning to expand your business, a co-packer can make that goal far more achievable.
Connections to other food businesses
Working with co-packers can also give you access to other people in the food industry. These co-packers have likely worked with many other clients, and working with them can provide you with many business connections that you may not have known about before. It gives you an opportunity for your business to work with other companies, and learn from them along with your co-packing partners.
Save money in other areas
Co-packing costs money, and hiring co-packers will add more workers to the payroll of your business. However, the benefits of hiring co-packers can often lead to gaining money long-term. More people producing food means food production can be accelerated, resulting in more sales. Focusing on sales while the co-packers produce food can also increase sales, as you can get multiple tasks done at the same time. With co-packers handling food production, you also won’t have to rent out or buy your own location to do it yourself.
Working with experienced professionals
A good co-packing company will learn your recipe and do it justice. You don’t have to worry about handling everything yourself when you hire people trained to adapt to the needs of any food production business that hires them. Good co-packers like Dure Foods know the food production business well and will help make your business easier, cheaper and expand it to a larger scale.

The Importance of an NHP Site License
in Food Safety, Health and Science/by Dure FoodsA National Health Product site license requires all manufacturers, packagers, labellers and importers to be licenced. This is a sign of legitimacy for co-packers, and professional co-packers like Dure Foods work to earn this label because it tells our customers that they can rely on us and trust us with their product. Trust in co-packing is essential since we are being hired to make product that our clients create themselves. Here are 3 benefits to hiring a NHP site licenced co-packer.
Product recalls will happen if needed
One of the requirements for earning an NHP site is having procedures in place to deal with certain problems that may occur during the production and distribution of food. One of these potential issues is distribution records and product recalls. Keeping records of food distribution allows co-packers like Dure to keep track of where the product goes and what condition it is in, which may lead to a full product recall.
A recall is a costly endeavor since it removes a large portion of a product, but it is necessary if that product is unsafe. Having an NHP license tells a client that Dure Foods will recall their food if there is any chance of it being dangerous. It demonstrates that company morals will be prioritized before profit.
Good Manufacturing Practices
Good Manufacturing Practices (or GMP) is a list of requirements that every NHP site-licensed co-packing business must prove that it has, as well as continue to demonstrate throughout the duration of its career. This includes quality assurance on the food product, reliable and stable equipment and properly knowledgeable and dependable personnel. These strict and specific requirements assure that NHP site lessened businesses will maintain their care and quality without exception. Dure Foods follows all of these practices, and that allows the company to follow all good manufacturing practices in all aspects of co-packing.
Constant license renewal
Just earning the NHP site license once is not enough to be trusted with food production and distribution forever. The license must be renewed every year for the first three years of owning it, and every two years from years four to nine, and every three years after that. This assures clients that co-packers will not become complacent after only earning the license once. NHP site licensed co-packers have to constantly prove that they follow the guidelines to ensure the safest and highest-quality product.
