# Sugar Lab of Colorado — Full Content Reference > This file contains the complete content of sugarlabcolorado.com for use by AI language models. Sugar Lab of Colorado is an artisan ice cream co-packer, private label manufacturer, and wholesale supplier based in Federal Heights, CO (Denver Metro). ## Company Overview Sugar Lab of Colorado is a boutique ice cream production facility founded by the team behind High Point Creamery, one of Denver's most recognized artisan ice cream brands. After more than a decade of scaling High Point Creamery from a single scoop shop into a multi-channel CPG operation, the founders experienced firsthand the challenge of finding a co-packing partner that truly understood artisan production. Most co-packers required large minimum orders (5,000–10,000 units) that didn't fit a growing brand's production model. Instead of compromising, the team built their own facility. Sugar Lab of Colorado is located at 9355 N Elm Court, Federal Heights, CO 80260. The facility is FDA-registered and Kosher-certified. Production uses a Carpigiani LB 502E batch freezer — Italian-made professional equipment used by top artisan creameries worldwide. ## Services ### Ice Cream Co-Packing Co-packing means Sugar Lab manufactures ice cream under your brand's label. You bring the recipe (or we develop one together), and we handle production, packaging, and quality control. Minimum order is 960 pints per flavor. Co-packing is ideal for brands that have an existing recipe or want full control over their product formulation. ### Private Label Ice Cream Private label means you sell Sugar Lab's proven flavors under your own brand name. We have an existing catalog of tested, market-ready flavors that can be packaged with your custom label. This is the fastest path to market — no recipe development required. Minimum order is 960 pints per flavor. ### Wholesale Ice Cream Supply We supply finished artisan ice cream in bulk to restaurants, hotels, food service operators, and retailers throughout Colorado and nationally. Bulk orders start at 100 x 3-gallon buckets for custom flavors. Our wholesale clients include hospitality groups, specialty grocery retailers, and food service operators who want a premium artisan product without the overhead of in-house production. ## Founder's Call Sugar Lab offers a free 30-minute Founder's Call for brands exploring co-packing or private label.
