Private Label · Wholesale
Your Brand on Our Sacks
Grocers and distributors who want crawfish moving under their own name can have it. We print your brand on the live sack and on the tail meat packaging, and the product inside is the same washed, hand-sorted, precision-weighed crawfish that goes out on our own routes.
Private label means your name on the outside and our crawfish on the inside. We handle the farm, the plant, the wash-and-sort line, and the haul; you put the product on your counter under your own brand. For a grocery chain or a distributor building a seafood program, that is usually the difference between reselling somebody else’s crawfish and selling your own.
What We Print On
Live crawfish sacks
A printed band on the sack, carrying your name and whatever else you need on it. Our standard wash sack is 32 lb and our branded sack runs 30 lb, with other weights available on request. Every sack is precision weighed, so the count you sell against is the count you bought.
Crawfish tail meat
Hand-picked, cleaned, vacuum-packed, and frozen under a HACCP-certified process, in packaging printed with your brand. Picking usually runs February through June. Freezing is what carries it past that — it holds in cold storage, so it can be ordered long after the season closes.
We Already Print Our Own
This is our own 30 lb sack, printed and running today. The band reads Washed & Graded, Live Crawfish, our phone and website, and the net weight. Yours goes in the same place, in your colors, with your name on it.
Gulf Line Market
Here is the same sack carrying a grocery brand instead of ours — same band, same place on the sack, printed to order.
Gulf Line Market is a made-up brand, shown here only to illustrate the printing. It is not one of our customers.
How It Works
Tell us what you need on it
Your name and logo at a minimum. Most buyers also want a weight, a phone number or website, and whatever their own state or chain requires on a seafood label. Bring us the list and we'll tell you what fits on the band.
Send artwork
Print-ready artwork from your side, or what you have and we'll tell you what we need. Your brand stays yours — we print it, we don't own it.
We set the run up with you
Volume and timing get worked out account by account, against what you actually move and where the season is. We'd rather set that with you on a call than publish a number that fits nobody.
It ships under your name
Your branded sacks run on the orders you set up that way. Private branding is a per-customer setup, not our default — day-to-day product still ships unlabeled or in our own sacks.
What Doesn’t Change
- Washed, hand-sorted, and re-sacked at our own plant in Plaucheville, Louisiana — the sorting that pulls trash and molting crawfish before a sack is ever loaded
- Precision-weighed sacks, graded by size when seasonal supply allows
- Iced at the plant and hauled cold on our own refrigerated fleet
- Certified Cajun and Certified Farm To Table through the Louisiana Department of Agriculture & Forestry
- Crawfish tail meat hand-picked, vacuum-packed, and frozen under a HACCP-certified process
Frequently Asked Questions
Can you put our brand on the sack?
Yes. We print a band for the live crawfish sack and we print tail meat packaging, both carrying your brand instead of ours. We already run our own printed 30 lb sack, so this is the same process with your artwork on it.
Do all of our sacks come printed, or only some?
Only the ones you set up that way. Private branding is a per-customer arrangement, not how product ships by default — our day-to-day sacks go out unlabeled or under our own brand. If you want some orders branded and some not, that's workable.
What sizes can you pack under our label?
Our standard wash sack is 32 lb and our branded sack runs 30 lb. Other weights are available on request — tell us what your counter or your case pack needs and we'll tell you what we can do.
Is there a minimum?
Nothing published. What makes a branded run work depends on what you move and when in the season you're buying, so we set it with you rather than putting up a number that fits nobody. Call and tell us the volume you have in mind.
How long does it take to get set up?
It depends on the artwork and where the packaging run falls, so we won't quote you a date before we've seen what you're sending. Send the artwork and we'll come back with a real timeline instead of a guess.
Does the product itself change?
No. It's the same crawfish, washed, hand-sorted, re-sacked, and precision weighed at our plant, and iced there before it's hauled cold. The only thing that changes is whose name is on the outside.
Can you private-label tail meat as well as live crawfish?
Yes. Tail meat is picked in season, usually February through June, then cleaned, vacuum-packed, and frozen under a HACCP-certified process. Freezing is what makes it a year-round order rather than a year-round product — it holds in cold storage, so you can buy it well after the ponds are done.
When is live crawfish available?
Live crawfish run roughly January through early July. Tail meat is picked inside that window, usually February through June, and then frozen — which is why it can be ordered year-round out of cold storage while live crawfish can't.
