The Benefits Of Co-Packing Olive Oil

Saves You Money 

There are a lot of ways to save money when co-packing your own olive oil. For one, you can use a cheaper seed oil in your blend instead of extra virgin olive oil. You can also buy in bulk and decant it for friends and family members before you run out, reducing packaging costs. And, you can recycle tins of oil by turning them into soap and other body care products. 

Saves You Time 

The most important part of any co-packing exercise is the customer. A well designed and executed plan can save you a bundle in the long run. There are countless factors that go into delivering a superior product, from the quality of raw material to the level of safety and security in transport. Having the right people in the right positions is a major key to success.  

Saves You Space 

The olive oil industry is in the throes of a renaissance. Many of the latest artisanal and small-batch brands are using cool packaging to stand out from the crowd. It is well documented that packaging plays a critical role in the quality of a product. For example, the reduction of oxygen in the headspace of a clear glass bottle or PET container can be significant in extending the shelf life of food items. Likewise, the use of light exposure can help protect the oils from oxidation and off-flavor development. Ultimately, the right packaging can help you save time, money, and energy by allowing you to focus on what matters most — your customers. 

Co-packing olive oil is a cost-effective way to get high-quality ingredients into the hands of your customers. This option is often particularly appealing to manufacturers who have a product that features Extra Virgin Olive Oil on the label, but who need to meet a specific price point for their bulk oil ingredient. In addition, it helps lower the price of the raw olive oil by reducing the amount of packaging and shipping costs involved. It’s also a good way to reduce your company’s carbon footprint, since the less you have to transport and store olive oil, the better.
