Palmetto Canning Co. has been in business since 1927. Our name is a bit of a misnomer, because we do not can any food products. This goes back to our early history when we canned tomatoes We now package products in glass or plastic (PET) anywhere from 5 oz to gallon sized containers. There are three basic types of contract packing: Toll, Full Service, and Hybrid.
Toll Packing – the client provides all packaging and ingredients and pays a per case toll charge for the packing of these components.
Full Service Contract Packing – the packer provides all of the ingredients and packing materials except for the label.
Hybrid – a combination of the two previously mentioned. The packer provides all the materials that are already on-hand and the client provides the rest.
