Handcrafted Moulds

Our handcrafted moulds will determine the unique shape your bottle takes. There is truly no limit to our experts ingenuity and the distinctively shaped glass bottles they can curate. Here at Verallia, we are constantly forging a creative path to build distinctive, eccentric, and unforgettable glass packaging. We’ve manifested mountains, snow globes, easter eggs and footballs, the sky is truly the limit.

Embossing / Debossing

Embossing and debossing brings artistry to your bottle. Whether you are looking to stamp text of your heritage on the neck of the bottle or craft botanical pattern designs rising from the base, our combination of craftsmanship and technologies can elevate your bottle.

Texture

For an indulgent experience that incorporates tactility consider blending textures into your glass bottle. Emulate an array of elements to signify what lies within or reflect your brands wider story. You could build textures that replicate honeycomb to signify the sweetness within or capture textured waves to signal the source of your spirit brand.

Colour

Tailor your glass packaging to your brand hues. Our sophisticated colour technology transforms your bottle and gives it that finishing flair.

Production 

Once you are happy with your final product, your glass bottle creation will be moved into production. You will see your brand transformed by glass as your bottles come off the manufacturing line.

Eccentric & Exquisite Glass

The bottle design infuses both a floral and an art deco vibe. The striking bottle has a distinctive shape that curves and flows with a floral design reflecting the liquid within.

18th of November marks International Poitin Day.

Poitin is a traditional Irish spirit, typically distilled between 40%-70% ABV that dates back to 1st Century AD. Historically the spirit was outlawed in Ireland as a result of taxation in 1661, but more recently has had a revival, being legalised in 1997.

Poitin carries an abundance of Irish heritage, being made with native ingredients such as barley, potatoes, and oats. Today Poitin is quickly gaining popularity, as it’s exported across countries, telling its story across borders.

Embodying Irish craftsmanship, @DrinkMadMarchHare_ celebrates heritage in every bottle. They expertly produce smooth, authentic poitin, encompassed in a decadent glass bottle created by Verallia.

Today marks an artistry that is often described as ‘fiercely Irish’.

Happy International Poitin Day, sláinte!

We are winners! 🥇

Three of our decadent glass bottles were shortlisted for Glass Pack of the Year at the UK Packaging Awards.

We are proud to announce, that after dominating the category with three bottles shortlisted, Verallia are the winners of Glass Pack of the Year, for @secretgardendistillery's botanical gin bottle! 👏

The judges were complimentary of the use of recycled glass in this premium bottle, a sustainable alternative to traditional white flint. We are dedicated to sustainability, and this award recognises that our expertise can create packaging that exudes opulence whilst being sustainable.

We also received commendation on our ‘Classic Laddie’ bottle, created for @bruichladdich. Another excellent example of sustainability hand-in-hand with sophistication, as they opted for a 34.47 % reduced-weight bottle.

Well done to our talented team for crafting award-winning glass packaging that fuse sustainability and style!

Studies have shown that the No-Lo market is certainly on the rise as consumers prioritise moderation and health, with sales almost doubling in 2023. This season, football fans were embracing non-alcoholic alternatives of well-known favourites for the latest UEFA championship.

More and more brands continue to add non-alcoholic alternatives to their ranges, aligning with this shift in the industry.

Like great artists sign their masterpieces, every bottle produced by Verallia UK is stamped with our signature code.

We take pride in the incredible work we do. Our code reflects the time and dedication placed into creating premium glass packaging.

An artist’s signature often signifies the completion of a piece, similarly a Verallia stamp signifies top-quality production, a high-calibre finish, and a distinctive glass bottle.

You can identify our bottles with our distinct punt marks “VUKG” and “VUKL” which mark Verallia UK Knottingley and Verallia UK Leeds – marked on the base of the bottle.

Keep an eye out for our Verallia code!
