Ardagh Glass Packaging Enhances Its Product Lineup

Ardagh Glass Packaging-North America (AGP-North America), a prominent player in the packaging industry and part of Ardagh Group, has announced the expansion of its Peak bottle collection. The new additions include two vibrant 12oz glass bottles—an Emerald Peak in green glass and an Amber Peak in brown glass, complementing the already existing Clear Peak bottle in flint glass. These products are now available for purchase on the company’s dedicated BuyOurBottles (BOB) website.

The introduction of these new colors aims to cater to the diverse needs of craft brewers and beverage producers, offering them the versatility to showcase a variety of beverages. Rashmi Markan, the Chief Commercial Officer for AGP-North America, emphasized that the Peak collection provides flexibility for craft beer and beverage companies by allowing them to run a range of products without needing to modify their filling lines.

A Look at the Peak Collection

The Peak collection's design is tailored for modern brewing needs, featuring three distinct color options—clear, green, and amber. Each glass bottle is precision crafted in the U.S., ensuring high quality and sustainability, which is crucial for today's environmentally conscious consumers. This versatility enables producers to use the same bottle for different types of beverages including carbonated drinks, kombucha, iced coffee, soda, and juices.

The bottles feature a twist-off design, which simplifies the capping process and enhances overall usability for both small and larger-scale operations.

The BOB Website: A Pioneer for Craft Brewers

Launched in 2012, the BuyOurBottles site revolutionized the way craft brewers purchase packaging materials by providing an easy-to-navigate platform for bulk buying. It allows small to medium-sized brewers to order bottles in pallet quantities directly from the manufacturer using convenient payment options such as credit cards or PayPal. To date, the site has expanded its offerings to include 13 different bottle types, ranging in colors, sizes, styles, and finishes.

AGP-North America and the BOB site are committed to supporting the craft beverage sector at every stage, offering robust resources to assist brewers and beverage producers as they grow. Customers interested in bulk purchasing can take advantage of the seamless online ordering system and flexible payment options. For those requiring bottles in smaller quantities, the company invites customers to contact them directly for personalized service.
