When shopping, you are likely to see lots of bottles on the shelves, but what makes them so great? We’ve put together the top benefits of using bottles for product packaging.

 

Easy to Adapt

Bottles are incredibly adaptable to your needs; whatever size, shape or colour you want. Whether you print a label to adorn your bottle or decorate straight onto it, your bottle will be branded to promote your company. Choose your material, the size, finish, colour and closure to create your dream product packaging.

Popular bottle materials include glass and plastic, both mouldable to your desire, be it square and precise, or round and shapely. Most bottles present a choice of finishes such as clear, frosted or coloured.

Personalising a product bottle and adapting it to your requirements is simple, allowing you to properly brand and present your product to customers.

 

Plenty of Fillers

Whether you supply luxury skincare products or soft drinks, bottles can be filled with almost anything. Bottles can be used in almost any sector, from pharmaceutical to industrial, packaging a wide variety of gels, lubricants, and oils. So regardless of your sector, find out how you can use our bottle filling service with your product.

 

Practical

Bottles are incredibly easy to use! Simple and functional, your customers will love the faff-free access they have to your product. Depending on the type of closure you have on your bottle, you can reduce accidental product wastage, spoilage and contamination. Customers can rest assured their product will be easy to attain and safe and secure in its bottle packaging. Bottles don’t present any faff; no crumpled-up tubes or jars exposing the product to the elements, just uninhibited access to every last drop.

 

Refillable

Provide your customers with a gift that keeps on giving. Most bottles can be refilled, commonly glass bottles – so why not offer your customers a discount for refilling their bottle with you?! Not only will you get repeat customers, but also environmental peace of mind. Customers will love your sustainable approach without worrying about mounting rubbish – it’s a win-win!

 

Protect Products

Bottles are incredibly hygienic as the product doesn’t have to be exposed to air or contaminants until it is being used. Unlike a screw-top pot or unreliable caps, a bottle safely protects the product, helping to increase its longevity and reduce wastage. Promise your customer a hygienic product and deliver one with less chance of spoiling than your competitor’s.

 

Durable

Just like how bottles protect your product from contamination, bottles protect your product from wear and tear. Plastic and glass bottles are particularly durable and hardwearing. Where cheap plastic pots and aluminium tins may smash and get damaged, bottles are able to survive rough conditions without cracks or significant damage. There are also risks involved in transport concerning dented or smashed packaging, however, ensuring good quality resilient materials and careful transporting can reduce these risks.

 

Cost-Effective

Producing, transporting and recycling bottles is extremely cost-effective, especially for plastic. As plastic is comparatively lightweight, plastic bottles can be shipped and transported for relatively low costs. Plastic is also somewhat cost-effective in terms of energy usage in production; requiring less energy than other materials due to its lower melting point.

 

Easy to Recycle

Both plastic and glass bottles are highly recyclable, with most being suitable for local collections. There is often a mistrust of plastic and misunderstanding of just how recyclable it is. With the world becoming ever more environmentally conscious, having recyclable packaging is paramount to being a respected brand with concern for the environment. Similarly, more people are likely to buy your product, and not a competitor’s, if they know they can recycle the packaging once the product is used, making recyclability a worthy investment.
