How Commercial Glass Bottles Work

Glass bottles might seem straightforward, but quality commercial versions offer so much more than basic storage. These vessels feature precision-engineered closures—from traditional cork stoppers to modern swing-top mechanisms or screw caps—creating airtight seals that preserve freshness and prevent spills. Made from food-grade glass that's non-reactive, they won't affect flavour profiles of your craft beverages, oils or dressings. The carefully designed pouring spouts ensure controlled serving with minimal drips, while thick walls provide temperature stability for both hot and cold contents—essential for preserving delicate flavours in your signature concoctions!
