Artisan Ice Cream Co-Packing, Wholesale, & D2C Fulfillment
ABOUT US
ABOUT US
At Sugar Lab of Colorado, we began as artisan ice cream makers, handcrafting each batch with care. As our business grew, we struggled to find a co-packing partner that met our needs—most required large minimum orders that didn’t fit our production model.
Instead of compromising, we built our own path. After an extensive search, we found a facility with the perfect infrastructure to support small-batch and wholesale ice cream production. We transformed it into a state-of-the-art ice cream factory, designed to help growing brands bring their unique flavors to market.
Today, we specialize in wholesale ice cream production, private label manufacturing, and custom co-packing solutions—with flexible minimums that make scaling easier for businesses like yours. Whether you need small-batch artisan production or nationwide 3PL fulfillment, we’re here to streamline the process—all under one roof.
At Sugar Lab of Colorado, we’re more than just a co-packer—we are ice cream artisans at heart. While many co-packers focus on mass production, we stay true to the small-batch process, making our ice creams in precisely 13-quart batches to preserve the quality and craftsmanship that define artisan ice cream.
Beyond ice cream production, we also create our own inclusions in-house—from specialty cookies and hand-burnt caramel to fresh strawberry sauces and mix-ins. This means that when you partner with us, you’re not just outsourcing production—you’re gaining access to a full-service ice cream kitchen that can scale your unique flavors while maintaining the handcrafted touch.
We understand the challenges of scaling an artisan ice cream business, and our facility is designed to help brands grow without sacrificing quality. Whether you’re an independent ice cream maker looking for a reliable co-packer or a business seeking premium ice cream production, we are committed to delivering exceptional products, unmatched craftsmanship, and scalable solutions.

🥛 A Quick Note on Ice Cream Base Production
We frequently get asked if we make custom ice cream bases or mixes—the short answer is no, but we know who does!
🔹 An ice cream base (or mix) is the liquid foundation of ice cream, made by pasteurizing dairy, sugar, and other ingredients before freezing. This process requires specialized dairy equipment, including pasteurizers, which we do not operate.
🔹 However, we partner with dairies that specialize in custom ice cream mixes and can connect you with the right supplier through our consulting services.
That said, once your ice cream base is ready, we:
🔥 Infuse it with custom flavors (steeping fresh herbs, spices, etc.)
🔥 Create in-house inclusions (cookies, caramel, fruit sauces, candies)
🔥 Transform it into premium, finished ice cream products
Our FDA-certified facility focuses on flavoring, producing, packaging, and shipping ice cream, ensuring a seamless process from start to finish.
