Beatson Clark, one of the leading glass packaging manufacturers, has introduced a lightweight beer bottle that weighs 285g.

The 500ml tapered amber beer bottle can also be manufactured in white flint and is almost half the weight of the company’s original lightweight beer bottle.

“The bottle will have a standard crown neck finish suitable for beers, ales or ciders, however it will also be interchangeable with an MCA finish to make it suitable for soft drinks,” said Lynn Sidebottom, Marketing Director.
