If anyone is interested in producing for a private label, please get in touch with me. I have tried to contact B. Nekter but haven't received a response.

I am looking for a private label mead, produced for my small business. I am willing to pay wholesale price plus the cost of the label (or I can provide the labels on a spool for automatic labeling) plus appropriate FOB charges.

So many more details that I would prefer not to go into here. If you are interested in a 100 - 200 case run, for private label, please get in touch with me so we can discuss my needs.

I am currently in the process of obtaining my TTB wholesale license and negotiating the local regulations nightmare. Please help me spread mead in my area!

Thanks
IB

Private message is best, or post here with additional contact details. Also, if anyone has any tips on an existing Meadery that would consider this proposal, please let me know!
 
Ian,

What area are you in?

When is your expected license due date?

Respondees:

You must have your TTB License to produce.
 
All..

I am in Salem Ma, and it is very difficult to get a rental space with the sink and water requirements, and the space required for production in the correct zoning area. Never mind the appropriate licensing on top of all that cost.

I am hoping a wholesale plan with private label (proper registration of label and all) is a cheaper way to 'test out' my business plan and idea. If it works (the idea doesn't hinge on what is in the bottle, more a marketing and concept approach) then I can use profits to plunge back in to the business for production and licensing, and keep wholesaling my private label until my own production is up and running.

This small run of course would mean self distribution model, basically a one-man band. With backup singers making the music (B Nektar, and other licensed, bonded, permitted to sell wholesale accross state lines producers).

Thanks for the replies, and you have a PM Yo mamma (who is affiliated with Brad supposedly).
