Pricing - Ready To Eat Popcorn

So, what’s going into the cost?

Brand owners face many challenges, but none are more important than the packaged cost per ounce. It is critical to work with a partner who understands that the cost to manufacture is only a portion of the final cost.

Every project is unique. However, a core set of costs must be accounted for and constantly monitored during the initial product development phase. The collaboration between our team and the brand owner ensures we address this fundamental “blocking and tackling.” This activity is driven and managed using our standardized processes.

The following summarizes a portion of our process, specifically the critical “Opening First Position Price or Cost Per Oz.”
