When premium coffee producer Little's needed to source a new jar for its range of flavoured instant coffees glass manufacturer Beatson Clark was able to step in with a new lightweighted jar at a competitive price. The family-run Devon-based speciality coffee roaster had been experiencing difficulties with its European supplier and was looking for a UK manufacturer to provide glass containers for its instant coffees. Little's were working closely with independent packaging specialist Rawlings to guide them through the jar manufacturing process and Rotherham-based Beatson Clark was able to provide the premium solution. It was a bespoke, high-quality, low-cost product which appealed to Little's in part because it was lighter than the jar they had previously used. "The Beatson Clark solution ticked all the boxes for Little's quality brand and the speed to production has been incredible," said Thomas Wood, Managing Director at Rawlings. "Our main focus was consistent supply," said Will Little. "We wanted to use a UK manufacturer and we were really impressed with both how competitive the price was and the quality of the product. Our coffees are at the premium end of the market and the quality of the packaging is very important to us. We really liked the lightweight option for our jar too, and the cost and environmental benefits that this brings."
