Almonds, canned peaches, and jelly beans are the kind of products Arden-Arcade shoppers recognize on sight, and most of them move through packaging equipment within a short drive of home. Arden-Arcade itself is a densely populated, unincorporated part of Sacramento County just east of the city of Sacramento, home to 94,659 residents as of the 2020 census and the second most populous census-designated place in California, built up with postwar neighborhoods and apartment complexes rather than any industrial base of its own. A cooperative just a few miles away in downtown Sacramento processes almonds into snacks, milk, and flour for retailers across the region. About 35 miles east in Lodi, a grower-owned cannery cooperative packs peaches, pears, and tomatoes, and roughly 43 miles away in Fairfield, a confectioner turns out jelly beans and other candy at scale.

PLAN IT's stick-pack machines turn almonds and jelly beans into the single-serve, grab-and-go formats grocery and confectionery retailers keep asking for, and our EliteFill auger fillers handle the flour side of that same Sacramento processing line. Portion accuracy can't drift. The recipe or the roast stays theirs to perfect; we know how to portion and weigh it consistently. Our checkweighers confirm every pack, can, or bag hits its stated weight before it ships, which matters for a candy maker as much as for a nut processor. Our locations page for California and our confectionery industry page cover the broader footprint we serve, and our full solutions page lays out how a stick-pack line and a checkweigher work together on the same run. Arden-Arcade's shelves depend on a Sacramento cooperative, a Lodi cannery, and a Fairfield confectioner doing the processing; all three already sit inside our install and service territory, machines in stock.
