How do I launch a beverage brand end-to-end with Drinkworks?
Drinkworks covers the full journey in 5 steps: (1) product scoping, MOQ and business plan; (2) R&D and formulation in our in-house lab; (3) industrial pilot to validate the recipe at scale; (4) production in aluminum cans or glass / PET bottles; (5) warehousing and shipping to your warehouses or directly to retail. Our online estimator returns a €/unit cost range in under 3 minutes.
What is the minimum MOQ to produce a beverage in cans?
MOQ starts at 10,000 cans per SKU for a first run, with economic tiers at 30,000, 60,000 and 150,000 units. Unit cost drops 12–18% at each tier. For glass bottles, MOQ starts at 5,000 units (then 25,000 and 60,000). For PET bottles, from 50,000 units.
Which can and bottle formats are available?
Aluminum cans: sleek 250 ml, sleek 330 ml, slim 330 ml, standard 330 ml and standard 500 ml. Glass bottles: 250, 330, 500 and 750 ml (26 mm crown cap or 28/30 mm screw cap). PET bottles: 500 ml and 1 L, lightweight 22 g preform available.
Does Drinkworks produce alcoholic beverages?
No. Drinkworks is exclusively focused on non-alcoholic beverages: sodas, functional waters, plant-based drinks, non-alcoholic RTDs, non-fermented kombucha, energy drinks and cold infusions. Any product above 1.2% ABV is out of scope.
How long does it take to go from idea to the first pallet delivered?
Three scenarios: stable recipe and standard format, 8 to 12 weeks; moderate R&D (reformulation, new ingredient sourcing), 12 to 16 weeks; full R&D with long-term stability studies and EU labeling compliance, 16 to 24 weeks. The simulator shows an indicative timeline based on your brief.
How much does it cost to produce a private label can or bottle?
Cost depends on format, volume, ingredients, decoration and secondary packaging. Typical 2025 ranges: €0.55–0.90 per sleek 330 ml can depending on volume, €0.18–0.28 per 500 ml PET bottle, €0.90–1.40 per 330 ml glass bottle. Our simulator returns a quantified estimate in under 3 minutes.
Does Drinkworks handle R&D, lab testing and regulatory compliance?
Yes. The in-house lab covers formulation, stability testing (climate chamber up to 18 months projected), microbiological and physico-chemical analyses, and EU compliance: INCO labeling, nutrition and health claims, EMB declaration, nutritional values.
Are you certified and auditable by my retail customers?
