Question: What is a typical minimum order size for a new beverage?
Answer: First, we'd like to confirm that you will be able to sell your product before manufacturing anything. A typical minimum order might be too much for a startup beverage company, so we offer proof of concept services where we can make small batches of samples by hand so that you can prove your concept to investors that you need to fund your manufacturing costs and distributors that you will be working with for selling your product. Sometimes distributors have specific requirements when it comes to your formula and label. We would prefer that you do your diligence and have a solid business plan in place before committing to so much product.
Question: Why doesn't US Beverage Manufacturing list a phone number or an address on their website?
Answer: The high volume of unwanted solicitations has been more of a distraction than helpful for our business. In 2019, we made the decision to remove our phone number from our website and schedule calls by appointment only.
