Which canning co-packers can handle small to medium production runs, and what are their minimum order quantities?

The community has experience with a small number of canning co-packers for sub-50k unit runs. **Bottled and Canned** (Devon) is the most frequently mentioned option and comes recommended by several members, though quality consistency has been an issue for some—specifically carbonation levels and leaking cans. Members note the company "seems to be better than most" despite these occasional problems.

For very small runs (100–125ml cans across multiple SKUs), members have indicated that custom solutions exist but require direct contact with producers who can assess timing and capacity. One member was in the process of testing a new canning partner in Glasgow for sub-50k unit runs and indicated they would report back.

**Caveats:** - Quality issues are not uncommon; several members reported leaking cans and inconsistent carbonation, even with recommended suppliers. - Minimum run sizes and pricing were not explicitly detailed in community discussions—contact required for specifics. - Availability and lead times vary; timing of your run matters.
