You may supply the bottles and cans yourself, or we can purchase them on your behalf, subject to supplier minimum order quantities (MOQs).

We can assist with the printing of labels and cans in the following ways:

  1. Printed Labels: We offer printed labels exclusively for glass bottles. We do not apply printed labels to cans.

We are happy to manage the print process for you for a management fee. Alternatively, we can recommend our approved suppliers who will guide you through the printing process.

What are the expected waste percentages?

Based on a production run of 15,000 litres, we would expect to have less than 5% wastage.

How do I ensure all food safety regulations are met?

We are proud to be BRC accredited, which ensures that the highest quality standards are maintained throughout the production process. Additionally, all products are sent to an accredited UKAS laboratory for testing before they are positively released.

Do you offer trial runs?

Our facility is unable to cater for small runs, so we do not offer trial runs.
