Packaging Innovation #3 - Black Is The New Amber

Rawlings & Son (Bristol) Ltd have designed black glass bottles for its client Cotswold Brew Co. The black color of the packaging is due to the glass and not a paint coating. The benefit of using black glass instead of painting glass bottle black is it is free from scratches due to shipping and handling. This innovative packaging also increases the shelf life of the beverages by protecting against UV radiations.
