Our 5-Step Production Process
We believe transparency is key to a successful partnership. Our Contract Bottling UK workflow is designed to minimize waste and maximize speed to market.
- Goods In & Inspection: All dry goods (glass, corks, labels) are inspected upon arrival to ensure they meet quality standards before they hit the line.
- Liquid Preparation: Bulk spirits are reduced to bottling strength (ABV) in our blending tanks and filtered according to your chill-filtration specifications.
- The Bottling Run: Bottles are rinsed, filled, capped, and labeled using our manual or automated high-speed lines.
- Quality Control (QC): Every unit undergoes a visual and weight check. We ensure labels are straight and closures are secure.
- Palletisation & Bonded Storage: Finished goods are palletised and moved immediately to our bonded warehouse, ready for dispatch.
We strictly adhere to all guidelines set by HMRC Spirit Drinks Labelling regulations, ensuring your product is compliant for sale in the UK and export markets.
Bonded Warehousing & Logistics
Unlike standard packaging firms, we offer a fully integrated turn key solution. As a WOWGR registered & APPA approved facility, we handle duty-suspended goods, both S200 and S300 with full compliance.
Our Contract Bottling UK service includes the ability to receive bulk liquid under duty suspension, bottle under bond, and arrange logistics for export or domestic distribution. This integrated approach reduces your administrative burden and improves cash flow by deferring duty payments until dispatch.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is your Minimum Order Quantity (MOQ)?
We pride ourselves on flexibility. While many Contract Bottling UK facilities demand massive minimums, AM Distilling supports both boutique small-batch runs (starting at 500 liters) and continuous large-scale contracts.
Can you source the glass and dry goods?
Yes. While many clients supply their own packaging, we have established relationships with top glass manufacturers and label printers from around the world, whilst sourcing UK produced glass and dry gods is always a company priority. We can assist in sourcing standard or bespoke bottles to suit your brand identity.
