Are you ready for a co-packer?
I've watched a lot of good products stall at this step. Usually not because the food was wrong, but because the formula, the paperwork, or the numbers weren't ready yet. Check off what you have. Items marked "Often required" are ones co-packers commonly ask about before they quote. Every co-packer is different, so treat this as a starting list.

¿Está listo para un maquilador?
He visto muchos buenos productos detenerse en este paso. Por lo general no porque el alimento estuviera mal, sino porque la fórmula, los documentos o los números todavía no estaban listos. Marque lo que ya tiene. Los puntos con "Suele requerirse" son los que los maquiladores (co-packers) suelen preguntar antes de cotizar. Cada maquilador es distinto, así que use esto como una lista inicial.
