We pride ourselves on supplying our customers with premium quality natural corks. This starts with sourcing the finest materials from our suppliers, all of which are sanitised and washed to the highest of standards.
Food Closures
Performance is paramount to ensure the security of your food products when choosing the right cap for your jar.

Similarly branding opportunities are available with core and bespoke colours, as well as lithographic printing, can bring your brand to life at each opening. Our core range includes a variety of colours in sizes 38mm to 100mm, different profiles, and standard, deep and extra-deep finishes.

New Exclusive Range of Spirit bottle for the UK
the launch of an exclusive new range of premium spirits bottles, now available to producers across the UK. Developed through a strategic partnership with a trusted international manufacturer, the new collection responds to growing demand for distinctive, high-quality packaging within the country’s vibrant spirits sector. The newly introduced range consists of nine unique bottle designs, housed in Croxsons’ UK warehouse, facilitating swift and adaptable delivery with shorter lead times and lower shipping costs. With a minimum order quantity of just one pallet, the range is accessible to both established spirits brands and emerging producers.
The Sovereign Bottle
The Sovereign bottle has been designed to elevate and support the burgeoning English and Welsh wine-making industry closing the provenance loop from vineyard to bottle. Winemakers have until now relied entirely on imported bottles transported across Europe. The English and Welsh wine industry is one of the fastest growing agricultural sectors in the country with over 1000 vineyards (WineGB July 2024) and is estimated to be worth £422m in 2025 growing at a CAGR of 3.5% over the last five years (IBISWorld November 2025). Sales of sparkling wine have risen 187% since 2018, from 2.2m bottles to 6.2m in 2023 (WineGB), making this the perfect time to bring sparkling wine bottle production home. The Sovereign bottle will be produced in England and rather than the traditional green colour of European sparkling wine bottles, the British bottle will be made using a distinctive amber glass. This will give the bottle a strong shelf standout and clear British provenance. The Sovereign bottle uses 77% recycled content which improves its sustainability credentials and with a shorter journey from factory to vineyard, it will reduce road-miles for millions of bottles traditionally transported from France, Germany and Italy.
Rightweight® Mountain Bottle
Our 330ml & 750ml Mountain bottles are the first addition to our new Rightweight® range. With sustainability and EPR being huge talking points in the industry, we have reduced the weight of these bottles while maintaining the form and purpose.
