Filling & Packaging suppliers in Minnesota

5 suppliers are listed under Filling & Packaging in Minnesota in the PostRequest directory.

Minnesota has 387 food manufacturing plants with 5 to 99 employees, led by bakeries and tortilla makers (including retail bakeries); snack, coffee and tea, sauce, spice and other food makers; animal food makers (pet food and feed) (US Census Bureau, County Business Patterns, 2023).

A nearby supplier or service partner can make installation, line trials, training and service calls faster.

Many of today's listings came from a brewing-industry directory, so beverage suppliers are overrepresented. For food ingredients, packaging and co-packing, our agents also search beyond the directory.

Start a request for Filling & Packaging

This category covers the equipment that meters product into its primary container and closes it: volumetric and net-weigh fillers, piston and flowmeter fillers, cappers and seamers, and form-fill-seal systems for pouches and cups. Buyers are typically adding a SKU, moving from hand-filling to inline speed, or chasing giveaway losses on an aging filler. Fill accuracy, changeover time between container sizes, and how the wetted path gets cleaned drive most of the engineering, so quotes vary widely in nozzle count, drive type, and sanitary execution. Getting three proposals is the practical way to see who is sizing the machine to your real line rate rather than its nameplate.

Suppliers listed under Filling & Packaging in Minnesota

Start a request and our agents will ask the suppliers that fit to quote. Your name and company stay private until you choose to connect.

What to include in your request

  • Product type and behavior: thin liquid, viscous, particulate, foamy, or hot-fill
  • Container type, material, and the full range of fill volumes in mL or fl oz
  • Target throughput in containers per minute at sustained run rate, not peak
  • Required fill accuracy or the maximum acceptable overfill giveaway
  • Closure type and torque spec: screw cap, crimp, induction seal, or snap lid
  • Wetted materials, and whether 3-A sanitary design and CIP or SIP of the fill path are required
  • Compressed air quality, electrical supply, and the line length available for the machine
  • Your delivery city or ZIP area in Minnesota, and whether you'd consider a supplier outside the state.

Lead time

Lead time tracks with automation level: a semi-automatic bench filler ships far sooner than an integrated monobloc filler-capper carrying change parts for several container families. Custom change parts and integration with upstream and downstream equipment are the usual long poles.

What drives the quote

  • Number of filling heads and the metering technology
  • Automation level: semi-automatic, inline, or rotary monobloc
  • Change-part sets for each additional container format
  • Sanitary design level and CIP or SIP capability
  • Contact-part material upgrades and inert-gas flushing or vacuum options

Common spec mistakes

  • Quoting nameplate speed instead of the realistic rate after changeovers, jams, and efficiency losses
  • Under-specifying the container range, then buying change parts later as expensive add-ons
  • Ignoring headspace, foaming, or stringing behavior that a given nozzle cannot handle
  • Failing to define fill accuracy, so giveaway quietly erodes margin
  • Overlooking whether the filler must be cleaned in place or disassembled every shift

In-state or national?

Our agents start with the suppliers listed in Minnesota and add national suppliers when they fit your spec better. Each quote in your comparison shows where the supplier ships from, so you can weigh freight, lead time and service.
