Packaging
We can offer customers our own stock bottles and jars, or we can assist customers to select their own packaging from the many packaging manufacturers and stockists that we deal with. Likewise with labels, we can use our approved printers to produce customer’s labels from their artwork if required.
In-house filling of our products
All of the above products (and more) can be filled on our 5 bottle and jar filling lines (including one hot fill line) with high-speed automatic labelling machines and we can fill containers from 10ml up to 5000ml. We also have a Norden tube filling line and can fill most sizes of tubes including laminate toothpaste tubes.
Minimum batch and fill quantities
Depending upon the type of product our minimum batch quantities are usually 250 or 500 litres, and our minimum filling runs are usually 2000 units providing this meets the minimum batch quantity.
Fill only – contract filling
We offer a fill-only service where customers supply their bulk product and packaging and we fill and pack off to their specification.
