Here is what each one actually covers, and how to tell which one you need.
What co-packing is.
Co-packing means a partner takes your finished product and gets it market-ready: primary and secondary packaging, kitting, display assembly, labeling, and fulfillment. You make the product; we make it sellable, at retail scale. This is the core of what Truvant does.
What co-manufacturing is.
Co-manufacturing goes a step earlier: the partner actually makes the product to your specification, then packs it. At Truvant, we co-manufacture deliberately narrowly: non-food, industrial liquids like cleaning formulations, mixed, blended, filled, and finished on dedicated lines.
Which one do you need?
If you have a finished product and need it packed, kitted, or fulfilled, you need a co-packer. If you need someone to produce a non-food liquid to your spec and finish it, that's co-manufacturing. Plenty of programs use both, and running them under one roof removes a handoff, a truck, and a margin stack.
Co-packing packages a product you already make. Co-manufacturing produces the product itself to your specification, then packages it. Truvant is primarily a co-packer; we also co-manufacture non-food, industrial liquids on dedicated lines.
Yes. We integrate co-manufacturing and co-packing in the same campuses.
