Contract Manufacturing

Select Brands is a contract manufacturer for new products being introduced into the market place by major companies. Whether you are considering converting an existing refrigerated or frozen product offering to one that is shelf stable or creating new innovative products, Select Brands is your best packaging partner alternative. Many parts of the world are already packaging dry and retorted products such as soups, sauces, rice entrees and beverages in flexible pouches. In the U.S., consumer acceptance of flexible packaging has been slower, because many of the existing shelf stable products are still being packaged in facilities containing old equipment, designed specifically for cans. As the old equipment breaks down, it will be replaced by new packaging and retorting equipment designed for flexible packaging. In our distribution systems today we are seeing a much wider variety of products offered in flexible pouches versus traditional cans. Products such as Baby Foods, Beverages, Soups, Side Dishes and complete Meal solutions as well as the more traditional Rice and Tuna products are now offered in this packaging alternative. There will continue to be innovation in Flexible Packaging. Select Brands’ experience and capabilities can help you take full advantage of these new innovations and improvements in packaging technology.
