Which packaging suppliers do members recommend for cardboard, glass pitchers, SRP cans, bottles, and custom glassware?

For cardboard packaging, members recommend McFarlanes and Nuttall in Manchester as reliable suppliers with competitive pricing on larger orders. For glass pitchers (1.5–2L), members have found quotes hard to come by; one member asked for recommendations but no specific supplier was named in the discussion. For shelf-ready packaging (SRP) for 250ml cans in fully cardboard options, Smurfitt Kappa is the recommended supplier; contact Emma Bishop at emma.bishop@smurfitkappa.co.uk. For small-batch bottles (up to 10,000 units), no specific supplier was named, though one member offered to share contact details for a canner they use (Bottled and Canned in Devon). For custom branded glassware, RastalUK is recommended (Sales.rastaluk@gmail.com); they supplied branded hi-ball glasses at good value. Members also note that reliable packaging designers include Ben Prescot Design and White Rabbit for branding and label work, which complements supplier selection.
