Our Process

Frogmore Bottling Company is a fifth generation family-owned business with a wide range of clients who enjoy our modern facility and personal approach.

Step 1: The Discovery Session

Let’s get to know one another! In this phase, we will learn all about your company, your goals, and discuss the different ways Frogmore Bottling Company can help you achieve success.

There are many important components to producing a product in mass quantities. Whether it’s a few cases or a year’s supply, we’ll share what you can expect from our team.

In addition, we’ll discuss financial and legal responsibilities for each party, review/sign our non-disclosure agreement, obtain a credit application and references, and review our co-packing/private labeling terms and conditions.

Step 2: Product Research and Development

Once we mutually agree to working together to further your culinary dream, we will obtain the recipe!

At this time, we will review the preparation process currently being used when making your recipe, review ingredients, and then schedule an appointment in The Frogmore Bottlong Company Kitchen to prepare your recipe. This can be done together or presented to you for tasting.

In this phase, you will choose your packaging. We have a complete showroom of available options- including glass, plastic, and lid selections.

Step 3: PRODUCT APPROVAL

After we make the recipe and you agree that it tastes just the way you like it, you will officially sign off. This documentation will be sent for official review by an FDA certified agency and will be the binding documentation by which we will eventually process your product. We generally allow several weeks in the production schedule for completion of step 3.

Step 4: PRICING AND PACKAGING

Unit pricing is determined during this phase. The price given is an estimate that includes the facility fees, packaging (bottles, lids), ingredients, process letter, barcode application (when applicable), and labor. Label design and printing is not included.

Now for the creative piece— no label? Not a problem, we can help! Frogmore Bottling Company upholds the standards required by the FDA. These standards are necessary when marketing your products- getting it right the first time will ultimately save you money and get your product on shelves faster.

Our team of creative professionals are here to help design an FDA compliant label for your product. The marketing team at Frogmore Bottling Company is trained in FDA guidelines and ensures a smooth process to obtaining those precious words, “your label appears to be compliant with all FDA regulations.”

If you already have a label, there are a few items you must supply Frogmore Bottling Company prior to beginning the manufacturing process:

• All labels must meet FDA Compliance Guidelines prior to manufacturing a product. Clients must submit a letter stating their label meets compliance by a certified agency such as the South Carolina Department of Agriculture.

• All labels must match the Process Letter issued by an FDA certified agency.

  If you cannot supply these, we can help!

Step 5: Production

Let’s make A LOT your product! The best part of the day at Frogmore Bottling Company is sealing the last case of a delicious product for a happy client! Volume is our friend, and ultimately yours. Minimums are required based on your sku and packaging type.
