Your Brand.
Our Expertise.

Specialized co-packing for cereals, superseed blends, dry mixes, and select snack products.

Restart Co-Packing works with established brands and funded businesses preparing for commercial production. Drawing on our experience with Holy Crap Foods, we bring a practical understanding of ingredients, packaging, and the demands of building a food brand.

Built by people who understand the product behind the package.

A successful production partnership starts with more than available equipment. It takes an understanding of your ingredients, your product specifications, and the expectations attached to your brand.

Through Holy Crap Foods, Restart brings direct experience in the cereal and superseed category. We understand how ingredients work together, how a blend fills into its packaging, and how production planning affects the business behind it.

Our co-packing program brings that perspective to select brands seeking a capable production partner.

Our strongest fit: cereals, oatmeal, superseed blends, and related dry mixes.

Our offering is constantly expanding beyond our core capabilities.

Focused capabilities.
Carefully selected products.

We concentrate on categories that align with our production experience. Every project is reviewed for formulation, ingredients, processing requirements, packaging, and commercial fit before acceptance.

Listed categories are considered individually.

  • Our core specialty. Cereal and breakfast formulations built around oats, seeds, grains, dried fruit, and other approved ingredients. Projects may include oatmeal, superseed cereals, breakfast mixes, and protein-enriched formulations.

  • Blending and filling for suitable dry food formulations, including pancake mixes, baking mixes, powdered food blends, and protein-containing mixes. We assess blend requirements, fill weights, and packaging compatibility before confirming scope.

  • Select projects assessed by formulation, processing, portion size, texture, and packaging. Tell us whether you require full production, blending, forming, or packaging of an existing product.

  • Select cookie projects reviewed for recipe, baking or handling requirements, product dimensions, breakage sensitivity, and individual or multi-unit packaging.

  • Single-ingredient products and blended combinations, subject to ingredient and allergen compatibility. Acceptance depends on handling requirements and suitability of the production environment.

  • For brands with a defined formulation, we assess the work required to combine approved ingredients and fill the finished blend into suitable packaging. Clear specifications establish what goes into the product, how it should perform, and how it needs to be packed.

We choose our production partnerships carefully.

Restart Co-Packing is a selective program. We do not accept every product or every inquiry. We work with businesses that demonstrate a suitable product, credible commercial plans, and the resources to move into production.

An established brand or financing in place.

Applicants should have an existing brand presence and commercial activity, or financing secured to support a defined launch.

An existing audience, retail presence, distributor relationship, or direct-to-consumer business helps demonstrate market readiness. New brands may be considered when funding and a credible route to market are already in place.

Production requirements that fit.

Your formulation, ingredients, packaging, and order quantities must align with the production process and available capacity.

We assess initial requirements alongside the potential for repeat production. Your budget should account for ingredients, packaging, any required trials or testing, production, and freight.

A defined product and a prepared team.

We prioritize businesses that can explain what they need, provide relevant specifications, and make timely decisions.

A clear formulation stage, realistic timeline, and designated project contact help establish a productive working relationship.

We are generally not the right fit for unfunded concepts, hobby-scale projects, or inquiries without enough detail to assess production needs.

Meeting the initial criteria does not guarantee acceptance.

Every project remains subject to technical and commercial review.

A clear path to production.

    1. Submit your brief. Describe the product, ingredients, packaging, volumes, business, and funding.

    2. Establish fit. We assess product requirements, ingredient restrictions, commercial readiness, and capacity.

    3. Define scope. Agree specifications, sourcing responsibilities, pricing, and any trials or validation needed.

    4. Confirm readiness. Materials, approvals, and commercial arrangements must be in place before scheduling.

    5. Produce. Work follows the approved scope, specifications, and agreed checks.

    6. Plan reorders. Forecasts and material availability support the next run.

  • Minimum requirements are assessed by product and packaging format. Include initial units and kilograms per SKU, plus expected reorder quantities, so we can determine suitability.

  • Pricing requires details of formulation, services, packaging, quantities, and sourcing. Timing depends on approval, readiness, required trials, material availability, and scheduling. Share your target date and available budget.

  • Before production, we review ingredient handling, formulation, allergen compatibility, packaging, fill weight, and product-specific quality requirements. Required testing, documentation, and approvals are established for the project.

  • These require specific review. Listing a category does not mean every ingredient can be processed within Holy Crap’s dedicated gluten-free facility. Disclose all allergens. Organic, gluten-free, kosher, and other certification requests must be assessed for your specific product; Holy Crap certifications do not automatically extend to client products.

  • Select new brands may be considered when financing is in place and the product, production needs, and route to market are defined. Explain any development work still outstanding and the budget available. Every project remains subject to review and acceptance.

Bring us a clear brief. Let’s assess the fit.

The more specific your submission, the more useful our response can be.

Please describe your product and business in enough detail for us to evaluate production suitability. General inquiries such as “Can you make my product?” do not provide sufficient information for a meaningful assessment.

We work with select established brands and funded launches. Submitting an inquiry does not reserve capacity or confirm acceptance.

Please begin with a non-confidential overview. Detailed proprietary formulations can be discussed after initial fit and confidentiality arrangements are addressed.
