Global Package Exhibits New Bottle Collections at WIN Expo 2021

/in /by

Napa, CA October 27, 2021 — Global Package LLC Is thrilled to showcase new bottle collections in Booth #230 at the upcoming Wine Industry Expo. The Tradeshow and Conference will be held at the Sonoma County Fairgrounds in Santa Rosa on Thursday, December 2nd from 9am to 4pm.

The WIN Expo was paused last year due to COViD-19 precautions. According to Global Package President and CEO, Erica Harrop: “We are thrilled the Expo is back so we can show off our new award-winning bottle designs,” she enthuses. “It’s great to get back in touch with our colleagues at WIN and our friends and customers in the industry. The passage of time has not slowed the creative juices of our glass supply partners, so come and visit us to see what’s new! We will be showing off the new PRIMA and RUDE bottles in the distinctive Wild Glass™ collection.”

Estal’s acclaimed 100% ‘real cycle’ Wild Glass™ and the Sommelier Mouth collections both include new Flint glass options. Wild Glass™ features a beautiful organic and unique hand-made look with an ecologically sustainable production process, utilizing only post-consumer recycled glass. It’s a process that’s both efficient and sustainable, reducing CO2 output because it takes less energy to melt glass than converting raw material into glass.

In addition, Global Package will be displaying the full line of Estal’s Sommelier Mouth (SM) bottles, which feature an anti-drip barrier and groove guides to facilitate a clean, straight cut of the capsule. The line includes the Essentia Burgundy, Bordeaux, and fluted Espiga bottles. All are available in Flint, Wild Glass, and Antique options.

“You have to see these unique bottles in person,” says Erica Harrop, President and CEO. “Our gorgeous new shapes in Wild Glass retain the slight imperfections in the natural formation of the glass, while retaining all the manufacturing positives of automated glass. And our Sommelier Mouth bottles highlight a slightly wider neck and more fluid figure, resulting in maximum strength and adding to the perception of a sleek higher-end bottle. Neither of these bottle collections requires any changes on the bottling line.”

Also on display at the Global Package booth will be samples of the company’s wide range of both stock and custom bottles, in a variety of styles, shapes, and colors. Visitors are encouraged to stop by Booth #230.

Global Package Adds to Its Beautiful Wild Glass™ Collection

/in /by

Global Package LLC President and CEO, Erica Harrop, has announced new additions to its beautiful, near 100% recycled Wild Glass™ collection for wines and spirits. The new Wild Glass Dark™ collection—produced by one of Europe’s premier glass companies; Spain’s Estal—is being introduced this month and will be sold in the U.S. exclusively by Global Package.

“We are thrilled to add these new bottles to this extraordinary collection,” says Harrop. “Not only is the manufacturing process for these bottles shorter and more sustainable, it creates bottles each of which is unique and aesthetically beautiful in shape, color, and texture.”

Estal’s Wild Glass™ collection boasts a more sustainable and shorter manufacturing process by embracing “flaws” in the glass, which also tells the story of historical craftsmanship and a legacy of experimentation. “Wild” colors are unique color hues with natural variations to enhance distinctiveness. New designs being introduced this month include the Wild Glass Prima Expressione™ collection of Spumanti, Rhine, Burgundy, Bordelaise wine bottles.
Also new to the collection are the Wild Glass Rude™ spirits bottles, consisting of Lance, Farm, Pilot, Barrel, 1919, and Melee designs. This collection also allows customers efficient ways to expand and customize their bottles, from size and shape to choker diameter.

“I was intrigued by the word “Rude” in the collection name,” Harrop admits. “But I learned that it is drawn from a language being developed in today’s culture, based on asymmetry and imperfections in nature—such as knots in wood, wefts and wrinkles in textiles, veins in stone—and defects in fashion like the torn jeans so fashionable today. It’s fun to watch the Wild Glass™ collection morph into such creative new products!”
Global Package has been an acclaimed industry leader as it consistently introduces new designs into its extensive catalog of offerings, from its Elegant Light™ collection of lighter weight bottles to its opulent DobleAlto™ collection, as well as a full range of in-stock standard bottles.

Global Package’s Elegant Light™ Bottles Get High Marks for Design, Sustainability, and Affordability

/in /by

A couple of months ago Global Package reported the end of last year’s US International Trade Commission’s (USITC)  antidumping duty, which returned favorable pricing for Global Package’s Elegant Light™ line of bottles. Now, with new shipping challenges facing imported European glass, these bottles have become even more in demand.

“With fully stocked warehouses we are perfectly positioned to meet these challenging times,” says Erica Harrop, Founder and CEO of Global Package LLC. “Since 2008, our strong alliances with glass factories in China have enabled us not only to help design the European-style Elegant Light™ line, but also to work toward lighter weights that would reduce shipping costs, as well as to achieve a more sustainable line of bottles at affordable pricing. Today, we have achieved all three goals.”

According to Harrop, the Elegant Light™ bottles are always in stock and include nine shapes that are distinctive for their larger, straight-line necks and voluptuous curves. Included in the line is the recently introduced Bordelais Fiona Carrée bottle, which has the look of a heavier reserve bottle and features an elegantly tapered body, deep punt, and larger neck for bottling-line ease and speed. Other Elegant Light™ bottles include European-style, lighter weight 750ml and 1.5L Bordelaise and Burgundy bottles.

Harrop regularly inspects China factories to ensure they meet strict US-required quality standards, including ISO quality measures—from selection of raw materials through all production processes, including automated production lines and the design of molds—to warehousing of the finished product and shipping procedures. She also works directly with product development teams at the factories to ensure customized products meet customers’ and US quality conformance requirements.

“After decades of working with these suppliers, I have built a strong personal trust between us,” adds Harrop.  “In addition, through my decades of working with domestic and European glass factories, I have developed great respect for the issues and limitations of manufacturing. This enables me to communicate effectively within this environment.”

Global Package’s alliances with both European and Chinese factories also focus on production efficiencies, which allows the company to control costs and pass on savings to customers.
