Tips from leading beverage manufacturers.

1.  Make sure you have a production ready beverage formula. To guarantee smooth, scalable production, have an experienced beverage scientist refine your recipe and ingredients that you are using it in a lab. A production-ready formula stays true to your original concept but uses high-quality ingredients that are consistently available in mass quantities.

2.  Choose the right kind of beverage packaging for your drink. Your decision on which type of packaging to use comes down to two main points a. What type of process is required to manufacture your beverages - this will determine the type of container used? b. The type of consumer you are targeting - this determines style & shape of container.

3.  Choose the right kind of label for your new beverage.  Choosing the right beverage label is very important to the marketing & sales of a beverage brand. The look & feel of the product is crucial to its success but don't forget to keep an eye on cost.

4.  Choosing the best closure for your new product is also important. You must consider if the consumer will want a wide or narrow opening to drink out of? Should the container be resealable? There is also the cap color & the shape to consider.         

5.  What type of box or tray will you use to pack your beverage for shipping to retailers? Will you use a box or a tray? If its a tray will you use shrink film and will the film be decorated? How many drinks should you put into each case?                              

6.  Where should your beverage manufacturer be located in relation to the market that you are going to supply? Is it better to produce closer to where you market or to get smaller production runs done at locations that aren't as conveniently located.

7.  How many case should I produce when I first get started manufacturing beverages? Should I be worried about over producing or should I be more concerned about running out of drinks? Who should I ask about this very important decision?

8.  Once my drinks have been produced where do I store them & how do I move them around cost effectively & safely? How do I get hold of companies that can store my products for me and then help me to to ship them everywhere?

Coca-Cola is still the largest soft drink manufacturer in the world.

While many different categories make up the American beverage product picture, carbonated soft drinks (CSDs) and their diet counterparts continue to be some of the most popular, hence the extensive network of soft drink manufacturers. Since the early days of our nation’s history, carbonated soft drinks have occupied a unique place in the hearts, minds and palates of the American consumer and this was all made possible by our nations soft drink manufacturers.  Request Free Information >

The term soft drink is derived from the phrase “soda water,” dating back to 1798. At that time, soft drink creation and soda fountain manufacturing were handled by local pharmacists because of their experience with chemistry and medicine. In 1835, the first bottled soda water was produced. This marked the start of carbonated soft drink manufacturing.

As the local drugstore evolved into the central attraction in most American towns and neighborhoods, the pharmacist was integral in providing beverages that were part pharmacology and part refreshment. Soft drink manufacturing was part art and part science back then. By 1876, root beer entered the marketplace, but it wasn’t until five years later that the first cola-flavored beverage was unveiled. Soft drink manufacturers were about to become very busy. It would be more than 70 years before the first “official” diet soft drink was introduced in 1952, this marked a significant change for the soft drink manufacturing industry. In 1958, RC Cola introduced Diet Rite®, the first nationally distributed diet soft drink. Tab, Fresca® and Diet Pepsi® entered the marketplace in the 1960s; 

Sugar-free 7UP was introduced in 1970; & Diet Coke® made its debut in 1982.

Soft drink manufacturers were in full stride by this point. 

 In 2024, the U.S. soft drinks market was valued at approximately $286.25 billion and is projected to grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.7% from 2024 to 2033. 

This growth is driven by increasing consumer demand for low-calorie, zero-sugar, and functional beverages enriched with vitamins and minerals. For information on starting your drink company contact America’s leading beverage industry experts. Request Free Information >
