The Journey of a Croxsons Bottle

Croxsons is a family-owned company that manufactures glass packaging from glass bottle containers to closures and decorations for some of the world’s biggest food and beverage brands.

It’s an industry we’ve been working in for over 150 years. And it’s a success that’s not just built on our heritage, with each generation of Croxson adding to the achievements of the last, but also of understanding our clients. Getting to know each and every one. And, regardless of size or scale, offering a bespoke service that completely suits their needs. Combining a world-class choice of quality products with first-class service from friendly, knowledgeable people goes a long way.

Whilst our Head Office is just outside London, Croxsons is a truly international company. No matter where our customers are based, we provide the same standard of service through our global connections, strategically positioned in Europe, Australasia, the Far East and America. Work with us and you’ll see a different side to packaging. Encased, enclosed and impressed.

OUR CUSTOMER JOURNEY

Working closely, from initial collaboration through to design, closures and final production, this full, end-to-end journey is something we offer to all our customers, whether they’re fifty years established or starting out from day one.

1. COLLABORATE

At Croxsons, we work with new start-ups, taking an advisory role and helping them understand the choices available. We also work in partnership with established clients. Collaborating on projects, offering guidance on where they could go with a limited-edition or bespoke bottle. Packaging is about starting or joining you on your journey; understanding your aspirations; assisting with a supplier framework. You’ll get your brand in the right container and closure. We’ll get there together.

2. DESIGN

Design can mean many things: off-the-shelf, bespoke, enhanced concepts. New sizes, lighter weights, better quality products. We’ll work with you to review all the options; using the latest technology to produce a perfectly matched design. Not just in the UK either. Our global connections mean that wherever you are in the world, we’re already on-trend. It all adds up to an optimised plan, with added value – the start of a packaging material of which you’ll be truly proud.

3. CONTAINER

Here we bring all the elements together to select the container you require. Using 3D modelling, we apply our knowledge and configure your design. This is about harmonizing brand and bottle; selecting the most appropriate manufacturer; integrating your container within a streamlined, global supply chain. By eliminating any risks of quality, service or delivery, we ensure integrity and suitability. We can set you up perfectly to begin to supply.

4. CLOSURE

Closures can really make a product. This is about finding what’s most suitable for your contents and container. The marriage between closure and glass. We can finish your packaging with a variety of materials. From all grades of cork, to all kinds of plastics. Fire branding, embossing and de-bossing along the way. Discovering the perfect closure for you – and the ideal opening experience for your customers – is where we excel. These are fitting in more ways than one.

5. DECORATE

Decoration creates standout for your brand in a congested market. From start to finish, we can manage the process for you. Reducing the load, presenting you with options. Here our experience of working with premium brands really comes into its own. We can offer printing or spraying. Illusion stickers. Limited edition runs. However you wish to adorn your container, we’ll make sure the end-result is a thing of beauty. An elegant finish for your product and brand.

6. LOGISTICS

Our logistics expertise is built on intelligent warehousing and a truly global marketplace experience. It see us send 150 million bottles every year. Locally or to the other side of the planet. Europe, the US and the Caribbean, India, China, New Zealand and Australia. Wherever in the world you want to supply, we can consolidate your load, removing the stress for you and ensuring a guarantee of arrival. Ask us about our measurement success rate – we think you’ll find it impressive.
