Contract bottlers

[alfabeat]

Are there any members here, who are involved in contract bottling? We are looking for an alternative bottler of our well established liquid food product. 250ml glass bottles. Please let me know if any one has any leads?

Thanks

Sorry, only just seen this. We operate within the supply chain of contract bottling, so can probably bounce some ideas past you.

Glass doesn't bounce very well...

it doesn't ... but there is technology to improve that. We did some trials, and was able to drop a bottle from 3m into concrete - it literally bounced with no ill effects.

Sorry for the thread hijack ! Loosemarbles , being as you are in the bottling game , could I rack you brains for a few minutes at some point . I would love to someone with inside knowledge of the this industry as I’m in a linked one ?

My sister has a bottling operation. What sort of product and scale are you looking at?

Hi - it is a well established liquid food product, about 150,000 bottles/year. I'll send you a DM. Thanks
