Mailway's Glaspak Milestone

A contract that involved the UK’s leading contract packer, Mailway Packaging Solutions, affixing special promotional glasses to bottles of Scottish Leader whisky has seen the company celebrate its 50million unit milestone for its patented Glaspak system.

Developed in-house, the system utilises a custom-made vacuum fitment to securely hold a bottle and glass combination and has been used extensively by all the major UK distilleries, plus a number of independent spirits businesses, since its introduction in 1993.

The Scottish Leader project, which was carried out on behalf of Burn Stewart Distillers Ltd, involved Mailway affixing a rocking glass to special promotional bottles of the whisky, which were then shipped to a number of Baltic and Eastern European countries for retail distribution.

Marco Di Ciacca, brand manager at Burn Stewart, commented: “We’d used Mailway and its Glaspak system in the past and were so impressed by both that we didn’t hesitate in going back to them for this promotional pack.”
