Which contract bottlers can handle small-volume alcohol-free (AF) production runs?

Members recommend **Black Bridge** (contact Ashley Black Bridge) as a reliable contract bottler capable of handling AF production. For smaller volumes in the 5–10k range, direct outreach to bottlers with AF capability is essential, as not all operators routinely handle alcohol-free runs. Members also note that glass sourcing can be challenging for small orders; if you need standard sizes like 5cl, 200ml, or 700ml screwcap bottles, it's worth asking your network directly—members sometimes have excess stock available (Apotheker and Chiara Glass formats have been spotted in members' warehouses).
