What are the options for canning small volumes (under 10k cans) of ready-to-drink products?

Members have identified several co-packers willing to work on low MOQs for canning RTD products. The key constraint is that most require finished product (post-carbonation) rather than offering blending services.

- **Point Cocktails** — contact Hayden; members report willingness to work on low-volume projects - **Can It (Bolton)** — successfully worked with members on 4,000 cans per SKU; offers fast turnaround (approximately 2 weeks) but requires finished product delivered in IBC format rather than blending in-house; no carbonation capability, so carbonation must be completed before delivery - **Bottled & Canned** — mentioned as a potential option for low-MOQ canning - **MC/Bibendum** — reported to be "great" for small runs, though no specific MOQ details were shared

**Key limitation:** Most canners on low MOQs do not offer product blending. You'll need to deliver finished, carbonated product in IBC containers, which they then fill into cans. This means you must handle carbonation separately before sending to the canner. Plan accordingly for your production timeline.
