Dry blending co-packers

Batch blending of powders: seasonings, mixes, drink and protein powders. Every fact is checked against the manufacturer's own published information, with the date we checked it.

Dry blending is the batch mixing of powders and mixes. Published minimums for powders vary widely: one consultancy's table puts stick-pack powder runs at 5,000 to 100,000 or more units¹, and a co-manufacturing platform's examples include 50,000 pounds for dry seasonings².

Because the product is a powder, the package often decides which plant fits: stick packs and sachets, stand-up pouches, canisters or bulk bags. The plants below list the packages they fill, and the seasoning and dry mix section covers the same plants by product.
