VinFirst Innovative Packaging was initially formed in response to the growing demand for alternative packaging containers by wineries and distributors around the world. To help achieve their environmental objectives, they are looking for recyclable packaging solutions and a strong co‑packing partner for the North American market. VinFirst is that partner. Recently, VinFirst has expanded our offering to manufacture and package beverages for the “Ready to Drink” alcohol beverage segments.

Our expertise in the beverage packaging and alcohol businesses makes VinFirst a perfect North American co packing partner. We will work seamlessly throughout the entire process; with your marketing team for artwork to your production staff and quality control teams to ensure a positive experience from start to finish.
