Beatson recommends amber glass

UK manufacturer Beatson Clark is experiencing a resurgence in orders for amber glass by its customers, which cover a range of market sectors.

The company has, in recent months, been actively marketing amber glass containers as the recommended choice for products from food and drink to the more traditional pharmaceutical beer bottles. Its Sales and Marketing Director, Lynn Sidebottom explained: “Fashions in packaging definitely change and this year the trend with Beatson Clark customers has been to give amber glass a try for lots of different kinds of products.”

According to Beatson Clark, amber glass lends itself well to packaging, not only due to its dark visual appeal, but because it provides a more cost-effective option than flint glass; the availability of which is limited in any case. For these reasons, its customers are choosing the more readily available amber glass and are benefitting from faster turnaround times when ordering it.
