When it comes to packaging, the choice of glass jar producer or glass bottle manufacturer can make or break your product’s success on the shelf. At Glassworks International, we combine decades of expertise, a nationwide logistics network, and strong partnerships with global glass makers to ensure our customers receive the highest quality bottles and jars at the best possible value.
Behind the Scenes with a Glass Jar Maker: Why Location Matters
We operate strategically placed warehouses across the UK and Ireland and are always looking to expand to make it a streamlined service from port arrival, to storage and then to customer site — including Middlesborough, Felixstowe & Bristol (Avonmouth) & Grangemouth. Each warehouse has been chosen for its proximity to major shipping ports such as Teesport, Felixstowe, Liverpool, South Shields, Grangemouth and Avonmouth.
By minimising the truck time between port and warehouse, we reduce both costs and carbon footprint. With the volume of containers and trucks we manage, our customers benefit from competitive transport pricing that wouldn’t be achievable when buying direct from suppliers.
Why Choosing the Right Supplier of Glass Bottles Matters
It’s a common misconception that going straight to a manufacturer secures the lowest cost. In reality, our scale and relationships give us an advantage. Because we buy such high volumes of glass bottles and jars, we are able to negotiate the best prices and pass those savings on to you.
On top of this, we handle the complexities that often slow businesses down, including port documentation, customs clearance, and import/export charges. That means you don’t just get the best price, but also a streamlined, hassle-free service.
The Future of Glass Bottle Packaging: Sustainable & Stylish Solutions
Sustainability is at the heart of packaging decisions today. We are always working with freight forwarders who are investing in greener fuel types and exploring rail freight to further reduce emissions. Every part of our supply chain is reviewed regularly to ensure it’s as efficient and sustainable as possible.
Glass itself is the sustainable packaging of choice. Unlike plastic, it is endlessly recyclable, stylish, and trusted by consumers. This is one of the reasons why so many businesses are switching back to glass bottle packaging vs. plastic.
An All-in-One Solution Backed by Experience
What sets us apart is not only our network and pricing power, but also our people. Our sales and technical team brings together over 80 years of experience in the glass packaging industry. That means when you partner with us, you get more than just a supplier, you gain a reliable, knowledgeable team who provide:
