How it works
How a filling run works.
From first enquiry to finished stock, here's what a filling run with Captain Bee looks like.
Tell us about your product
Use the quote form on our Contact page to tell us what your product is, what it goes into, the fill size and how many you need. The more detail you give, the faster we can quote.
Get a quote and a sample fill
We send you a price. For a new product we do a sample fill first, so you can check the fill level and finish before the full run.
Get your product to us
Bring your bulk product to us in Preston, Melbourne, along with your jars or buckets, labels and tamper seals. If we're sourcing packaging for you, we'll have it ready.
We fill your run
We fill and cap your run, fit your seals, label it, code every unit and check fill weights throughout.
Collect your stock
Your finished stock is packed into cartons, ready for you to collect, or for us to send to you, your 3PL or your stockists.

Need something outside these? Ask us.
Do I need to supply my own product?
Yes. You send us your bulk product and we fill and pack it. If you'd like private label honey, we can supply the honey too.
Can I bring my own jars, labels and seals?
Yes. Bring your own jars or buckets, labels and tamper seals, and we'll fill, seal and label to suit. If you'd rather we sourced jars and lids, we can do that too.
My product is already filled. Can you just label it?
Yes. Bring it in with your labels and we'll label it, code it and pack it.
What's the smallest run you'll do?
Our minimum is 500 units per product. If you're just under that, get in touch and we'll see what we can do.
How long does a run take?
Usually 1 to 2 weeks from when your product and packaging arrive. Put your deadline in the quote form and we'll tell you straight away if we can meet it.
Is your facility food safe?
Yes. Captain Bee is set up to handle food safely, with clean equipment and careful hygiene on every run. We keep fill weight records for every batch.
Where are you?
