Why us

The Drink Fulfill Co. Standard

Six rules every beverage order follows, whether it is one can of cold brew or a full truckload to a distributor.

Liquid-first pack-outs

Molded pulp, die-cut inserts and right-sized shippers matched to your can or bottle format, validated with drop testing before go-live.

Oldest lot ships first

Every receipt is captured by lot and best-by date, and the system directs pickers to first-expiring stock automatically.

Seal-integrity checks

Cases are inspected at receiving for dents, swells and leaks, and damaged units are quarantined instead of shipped.

Recall-ready traceability

Lot numbers tie to every outbound order, so a targeted withdrawal takes a report, not a warehouse-wide hunt.

Weight-smart shipping

Carton sizes and carrier selection are tuned for dense, heavy orders so billable weight stays close to actual weight.

Retail-ready by default

Pallets built to routing guides with GS1 case labels, SSCC pallet labels and advance ship notices when your buyers need them.

The problem

Why most 3PLs break your beverage brand

General-merchandise warehouses treat a 24-pack like a t-shirt. Liquids punish that mistake on every order.

ERR_001

Leaking cartons

One punctured can soaks the whole box, the carrier flags the parcel, and your customer opens a sticky mess. Then the chargeback hits.

ERR_002

Shattered glass

Bottles packed loose in a corrugated box with a sheet of kraft paper. It survives the warehouse. It does not survive the sort hub.

ERR_003

Best-by blind spots

Pickers grab the closest case instead of the oldest lot. Fresh stock ships while short-dated product ages out on the shelf.

ERR_004

Dim-weight shock

Oversized boxes and generic fillers turn a 12-pack into a billable-weight problem that quietly erases your margin.

ERR_005

Retail rejections

Wrong pallet height, missing SSCC label, mixed lots on one pallet. The receiving dock refuses it and the fines follow.

ERR_006

Hot docks, frozen trucks

Cans sitting on an uninsulated summer dock or riding through a freeze can bulge, burst or lose flavor before anyone notices.

FAQ

Beverage fulfillment questions, answered

What is beverage fulfillment?

Beverage fulfillment is the storage, picking, packing and shipping of drinks such as canned sodas, bottled juices, drink powders, coffee and tea for an eCommerce or wholesale brand. It differs from general fulfillment because liquids are heavy, fragile and dated, so it requires leak-resistant packaging, lot and best-by tracking, and shipping logic built for dense parcels.

Do you handle alcoholic beverages?

No. Drink Fulfill Co. focuses on non-alcoholic beverages, including functional drinks, energy drinks, sparkling water, coffee, tea, drink mixes and non-alcoholic spirits that are legally under 0.5% ABV. Beer, wine and spirits require licensed, three-tier compliant shipping, which is outside our scope.

How do you keep cans and glass bottles from breaking in transit?

We prevent breakage by matching each format to a tested pack-out, typically molded-pulp or corrugated inserts that immobilize every unit, inside a right-sized shipper. For glass and high-risk orders we add leak-containment liners, and new pack-outs are drop-tested before launch so failures are found in the warehouse rather than at the customer's door.

Can you manage inventory by lot number and best-by date?

Yes. Every inbound case is captured by lot number and best-by date, and our system enforces first-expired, first-out picking. You can see on-hand quantities by lot, set minimum remaining shelf-life rules per channel, and pull a lot-level shipment history if you ever need to run a withdrawal or recall.

Are your facilities FDA registered?

FDA-registered food facilities are available across our network, because any facility that holds food or beverages for U.S. consumption must register with FDA under the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act. Specific registrations, sanitation programs and third-party audit reports vary by market, and we confirm them for the markets in your plan.

Can you ship heavy multi-packs affordably?

Yes. Heavy beverage orders stay affordable when carton size, packaging weight and carrier choice are engineered together. We size shippers tightly to avoid dimensional-weight penalties, rate-shop across carriers and service levels, and place inventory in markets closer to your customers so more orders ship in fewer zones.

Do you support retail and distributor orders?

Yes. We build pallets to retailer and distributor routing guides, apply GS1-128 SSCC pallet labels and case labels, and exchange EDI documents such as 850 purchase orders and 856 advance ship notices. LTL and full-truckload freight can be booked through your carriers or ours.

Can you build variety packs and subscription boxes?

Yes. We assemble variety packs, sampler boxes and recurring subscription shipments from your individual SKUs, tracking the lot of every component that goes into each kit. Kits can be built to forecast ahead of a launch or assembled on demand as orders arrive.

What about extreme heat and freezing weather?

We manage temperature risk by storing product indoors away from hot docks, monitoring weather along shipping lanes, and applying seasonal rules such as insulated liners, faster service levels or short weather holds for freeze-sensitive orders. Temperature-controlled storage is available in select markets for products that require it.

How fast can I get a quote?

You can get a custom quote within one business day. Share your SKU list, case dimensions and weights, monthly order volume and sales channels through the quote form, and we will recommend markets, a pack-out approach and transparent pricing for storage, fulfillment and freight.
