Personalized Milk bottle

Glass bottles have gained increasing popularity in the milk industry, largely due to their ability to convey an artisanal and high-quality image. However, this impression is not just surface-deep.

5 reason why glass bottles are better than plastic milk cartons

We wrote down 5 reasons why glass bottles are better than plastic bottles.

1. Environmental benefits

Unlike plastic, glass is a fully sustainable and recyclable resource which also provides environment benefits like lower carbon footprint. Research shows that reusable glass bottles proves to be less carbon impactful compared to HDPE bottles and beverage cartons with a return rate of 81%. (*)

Furthermore, environmental awareness is influencing consumer choices. Studies have shown that 58% of Gen Z, 61% of millennials, 55% of Gen X and 46% of baby boomers are likely to spend more on products that are eco- friendly.

2. Durability and long lifespan

Glass is the only packaging material in the market capable of sustaining an endless recycling cycle without any loss in quality. We also offer industrial washing possibilities. With a capacity of 24 million bottles per year, Univerre is the number one company in Switzerland for industrial bottle washing. Read more about the facts and figures on reusable glass bottles.

3. Better conservation

As mentioned in the Guardian, Glass packaging can better help conserve the taste of the product. This is because plastic heats up and the molecules will slowly seep into the milk.

4. Better brand and product perception

Packaging is like a product’s first impression. It tells you what to expect from a brand and product just by looking at it. So, how the packaging looks, feels, and holds up can influence how people think the food will taste and how good the quality is.

Choosing glass packaging is a smart branding choice for dairy farmers and food businesses. Glass is known for its quality and positive reputation. It’s a way to show that your product is high-quality and that you care about the environment.

5. High quality personalisation options by glass print

How do businesses make a difference? High-quality personalisation options offered by glass printing provide businesses with a powerful means to distinguish themselves. Customised glass packaging and products enhance brand identity, convey compelling storytelling, elevate product presentation, and foster customer loyalty. In a competitive marketplace, this level of personalisation can make a significant difference in a company’s success.
