Looking to breathe new life into your jars and bottles? Whether it’s creative ideas, delicious recipes, or inspiring ways to upcycle, you’ve come to the right place. Let’s turn the ordinary into something extraordinary!
Oil doesn't spoil the way fresh food does, it oxidises, slowly, from light and heat. If you're bottling olive oil, rapeseed oil, or infused oil for UK retail, farm shop, or food service, one packaging rule applies specifically to olive oil, and the glass colour you choose does real technical work. Here's what UK producers need to know about regulation, protection, and closures.
Jar price is only part of the cost. This guide breaks down delivery, breakage, buffer stock, and EPR fees to show what chutney jar packaging really costs UK food producers, at 10,000 jars a year and at 100,000.
UK EPR fees for glass now depend on your recyclability rating, not just weight: £185 per tonne if green, £205 if amber, £245 if red. Here's how that works out per bottle or jar, and what PackUK's incoming RAM 2027 update means for your packaging.
Wine bottles come in more sizes than most producers ever need, but knowing the full range helps you plan production formats, gifting lines, and display pieces. This guide covers every standard size, what each one is used for, and where to get it.

Most UK non-alcoholic beer is bottled in a 330ml amber long-neck with a 26mm crown cap, but flint glass, steinies, and 500ml formats all have their place. This guide works through glass colour, size, shape, closures, and costs, so you can order the right bottle first time.
Honey is sold by weight, not volume. Because honey is around 40% denser than water, a 280ml jar does not hold 280g of honey. A complete size and weight guide for UK producers covering every format from sample jars to bulk supply.
A commercial guide for chutney producers and contract manufacturers scaling above 20,000 units per year. Discover how glass jar dimensional tolerances, pallet configurations, BRCGS supply continuity, and Declaration of Compliance (DoC) requirements directly impact automated filling line efficiency and retail audit success.
