Private Label
Private Label sauces and seasonings are a great way to make an impact on your customers. Perfect for restaurants, meat markets, and specialty food stores, calling these premium products your own will create a lasting impression and set your organization apart from the rest.
Private Label sauces and rubs also make for great give-aways for corporate events, client appreciation gifts, fundraisers for teams, and many other venues to promote your brand or business.
What sets us apart? Croix Valley products are not mass-produced sauces and seasonings sitting on shelves waiting to be labeled with your logo. We use only the finest ingredients and craft each batch by hand in our kitchens, providing you with the freshest, top-quality product in the industry. We don’t make the product until you place your order – we take pride in our products, and you can taste the difference!
Product Details
Labels:
Croix Valley will work with you to provide you with high-quality custom labels, complete with a unique UPC barcode. You can create a label of your own design (except for FDA requirements, which we will provide), or let us create one for you. A one-time label set-up fee of $65.00 applies to all orders. We will provide you with proofs of your label before production begins. Rest assured, you are getting one-on-one quality design service by an award-winning artist. Quality work is guaranteed – no run-arounds!
Packaging:
Each bottle of private label sauce is packaged in a 12 oz. volume glass bottle and is completely shelf-stable. While our products do not require refrigeration even after being opened, we suggest refrigeration after opening to maintain quality and freshness. Each bottle is capped with a black metal lid with Plastisol liner. Bottles are also shrink-banded to ensure further tamper-evident packaging. Our seasonings and dry rubs are packaged in PET plastic bottles with a flip-top shaker lid and pressure-sensitive liner.

F.A.Q.s
Customizations
Can you produce my own recipe?
Yes of course, but that service is called co-packing. Private Label is when you put your own label design on a product we already make. Co-packing (which we do a lot of) is when we make someone else’s recipe at our facility. We do this for many types of sauces, salsas, Bloody Mary mixes and more. You can find more information on our co-packing page.
Can you make adjustments to the recipe?
Unfortunately, we do not adjust our recipes. The products we offer for private label are the same products in the bottle that we sell under the Croix Valley brand.Any adjustments to a recipe would need to follow our full co-packing process as a custom recipe.
Can we get the rubs in smaller containers or the seasonings in larger ones?
Yes! Our standard rub bottle is a 16 oz volume shaker (12 oz by weight) and the standard BBQ Booster bottle is an 8 oz shaker (6 oz by weight). We are happy to package any of the rubs or seasonings in either bottle you choose without changing minimums or incurring extra charges.
Can you bottle sauces in a different container?
On higher volumes of 100 gallons of product, we can absolutely package in a different container.Many options exist from 5 oz Woozy bottles to 16 oz PET plastic bottles and everything in between.Custom packaging options can be discussed and will be quoted appropriate to the packaging being used. All sauces are available in Gallon containers on volume of 48 gallons as well. Please contact us for more information.
