Epic Bottling started because we were beverage founders ourselves—and we couldn’t find a co-packer that worked for us.
When we launched Texas Tea, we had a great product and a growing customer base. What we didn’t have was a manufacturing partner who understood what small beverage brands actually need. The big co-packers wanted minimum orders we couldn’t afford. The smaller facilities didn’t have the right equipment for hot-fill tea production. Nobody wanted to work with a startup that was still figuring things out.
So we did what a lot of frustrated founders do: we built our own solution.
We invested in a facility with real brewing capacity, proper pasteurization systems, and the infrastructure to handle both small startup runs and larger production volumes. We got certified. We dialed in our processes. We scaled Texas Tea using our own equipment—and then we realized: if we struggled to find the right co-packer, other beverage founders in Texas are probably struggling too.
That’s how Epic Bottling became more than just our production facility. We opened it up to other brands because we know exactly what it’s like to have a great recipe and nowhere to bottle it. We know what it’s like to get quoted minimums that don’t make sense for a new product. We know what it’s like to need a manufacturing partner who actually cares whether your brand succeeds.
We built Epic Bottling to be the co-packer we wish we’d had when we were starting out.
We’re a locally owned facility with the infrastructure to handle serious production—cooling tunnels, steam tunnels, HTST pasteurizers, automated labeling (cut and stack, sleeve and pressure sensitive).
Our location in Coppell, just 15 minutes from DFW Airport, isn’t an accident. It puts us close to major highways and freight routes, which means lower costs and faster turnarounds for raw materials coming in and finished goods going out. For Texas beverage brands looking to grow regionally or nationally, that logistics advantage matters.
Most co-packers treat their clients like line rentals—you show up, you pay by the hour, you leave. We don’t operate that way.
We’re manufacturing partners, not just production vendors. That means we’re invested in your success. We’ll walk first-time founders through formulation. We’ll help established brands think through line extensions. We’ll tell you honestly if your packaging choice doesn’t make sense for your distribution strategy. We’re not trying to upsell you on services you don’t need—we’re trying to help you build a beverage brand that lasts.
We brew in-house because consistency matters. A lot of co-packers outsource brewing and just handle filling. We brew, blend, and formulate your beverages on-site, which gives us complete control over quality and consistency. Batch one should taste like batch one hundred—and with our process, it does.
We don’t cut corners on quality. We maintain all current beverage manufacturing certifications and run strict quality checks at every stage of production. If a batch doesn’t meet our standards or yours, it doesn’t leave the facility. Period.
We built this facility because we needed it for our own brand. Now we’re opening it to founders like you who need reliable Texas co-packing without the runaround. Call us or email us we’re here to help you bottle something great.
