Start your board in a minute
- Add co-packers from 1,299 USDA organic certified listings, or any you found elsewhere.

- Type in each quote. The board shows who really costs least at your run size.
How the board compares quotes
- Landed cost per unit is the co-packer's fee, plus your ingredients and packaging unless the quote includes them, plus setup, testing, and freight spread over the run.
- Minimums count. If a co-packer's minimum is bigger than your planned run, the board prices the run at their minimum, because that is what you would have to buy. It also shows the cash you need to start.
- The winner can change with volume. A higher setup fee with a lower unit fee wins on bigger runs. Slide the run size and the board shows the point where the cheapest co-packer changes.
- Your numbers only. The board never fills in prices for you. Quotes come from what each co-packer tells you.
Common questions
Is the Sourcing Board free?
Yes. No account, no email, no limit beyond 60 co-packers on one board.
Where is my board saved?
In this browser only. Nothing on the board is sent to CoPacker Index. Download a backup, or copy a private link to open it on another device: the board sits after the # in that link, which browsers never send to a website. Clearing your browser data erases the board, so keep a backup.
How does it work out landed cost per unit?
The co-packer's fee per unit, plus your ingredients and packaging unless the quote includes them, plus setup, testing and freight divided by the run. If their minimum is bigger than your run, it prices their minimum.
Does my board change which co-packers you recommend?
No. Matching never uses your board and is never paid. If you request introductions, the directory co-packers on your board go along as your picks, and we check that they fit first.
