Co-packers in Texas

Central for freight, cheap for space, and increasingly deep in beverage.

Why manufacturing concentrates here

Texas sits where the freight maths works. From Dallas or San Antonio you can reach most of the US population in two days by truck, which is a structural advantage over either coast for a national brand.

Warehousing and storage are materially cheaper than in California or the northeast, and most co-packers here will hold finished goods for you at a rate that would be uneconomic elsewhere.

The beverage cluster around Austin and San Antonio has grown quickly, and the food side has long been strong in snacks, sauces and Mexican-influenced categories.

What to check before you commit

  1. Summer heatAmbient storage and transit temperatures in July and August are a real product risk for anything heat sensitive. Ask specifically.
  2. WaterFor beverage, ask about source water treatment. It varies more across Texas than people expect and it affects your formulation.
