We still need to work out the details - at present I'm much more focused on the wholesale piece... lots to do (starting with a custom box solution so I can ship glass bottles in bulk without breakage!!).
Maybe a few weeks before we begin to roll them out incrementally. There's so many pieces in motion at the moment I don't want to add anything more to the chaos. LOL

You could use the old lpde bottles to cushion the glass ones...........and fill the lpde ones too..............................just a suggestion

I believe with that idea you just won the internets, not +1 or +2 but the whole dang thing!
Say no to foam, not biodegradable

So you are looking at cellulose based, solid or 'peanuts'...
You can actually eat those (seriously) they are so bio friendly...
Peanuts may be faster/easier to pack with, but they are a pain when unpacking. They will also leave dust on the bottles if they aren't wrapped/bagged.
In the meantime you can use the defective caps as filler to decrease the amount of packing material needed.
I honestly hate those biodegradable peanuts. I make my own premium vanilla (for baking) and I just got an order of amber glass bottles. The bottles were in a box, taped shut, inside a larger box full of those things. Imagine if you will Spooky and the 2 dogs chasing them all over the kitchen. Not pretty. And yes, dusty stuff all over the bottles and everywhere else.
That said if I ever need a NT order that large feel free to ship it however you'd like as long as it makes it in one piece!

Unpack over the sink and rinse them down the drain! They dissolve!
Ideas for shipping glass? I've received them in bubble wrapped pockets, packed in popcorn with a note to share the popcorn with the birds outside and another I received them packed in shredded newspaper and junk mail.
Same here! Bottles were bubble wrapped individually several times. Others have shipped with dense foam cut out specific to the bottle size. Also have seen recycled protective bottle sleeves to protect glass bottles. I would contact your flavor manufacturer to see what they use. Have not seen any other solutions as far as shipping glass. Just stick to the plastic bottles with needle nose tips!
Love those bottles!
But I am hearing plastic bottles are up in price. Kent, I am assuming your switching to bottles because of the certification or is auto fill system or price of plastic? Just curious, because I saw another juice vendor said he had to switch to bottles.
I just received my first ever order of a glass bottle with the eye dropper thing from that vendor and was excited. Then I had to put juice in this new heatvape ceram tank which you can only fill with a needle because it is a top fill and you cannot fill it any other way. So I had to use your drip to go bottle and transfer all that juice to that bottle and squeeze the living daylights out of it to fill a 6 ml tank.
So if you want to sell me a couple of your 50's and 30's plastic empties I would be very pleased.

We switched to glass for lots of reasons, but - the most important was the automation process of the bottling machine and the inconsistency of the seals on LDPE bottles. Upwards of 15-20% of the caps we get for LDPE bottles are defective... and, each would need to be put on by hand instead of by the machine. Aside from the cost (waste) of defective caps, and the time associated with making a call to china to chew Magic Mike's a** because we got 140# of defective caps... none of us want to deal with checking every cap by hand, individually...
I'm really more concerned about shipping glass bottles in bulk (hundreds of bottles at a time). I have custom boxes being made for 15ml and 30ml bottles - game on

I'm down to use those bad caps for packaging materials. Throwing them at Nick isn't quite as fun as it was at first.
Packing peanut material can be purchased in blocks. Even if you only cut "planks" to line a larger box with a smaller box inside.
The only other nifty shipping idea I have seen is biodegradeable gel in between two bags, with the product inside the inner bag. I received some crystal shipped that way. The crystal was packed in a box, that box put inside a bag which was sealed, a larger bag filled with gel around the inner bag. I would imagine this would be quite expensive.
