At Bottles & Crates, we know that whether you’re a passionate homebrewer or managing supplies for a busy corporate event, sourcing bottles and crates in bulk can feel overwhelming. With so many sizes, materials, and order details to juggle, it’s easy to wonder: Is there a simpler way?
Good news — there absolutely is. In this guide, we’ll walk you through how to streamline your bottling and crating orders so you save time, money, and hassle — and get exactly what you need, when you need it.
Why Bulk Orders Make Sense
Ordering in bulk isn’t just about getting more for less (though the savings are certainly a perk!). It’s also about consistency and reliability.
For homebrewers, having a steady supply of clean, reusable bottles and durable crates means you’re always ready for your next batch — no more frantic scrambles to source containers at the last minute.
For corporate clients, bulk ordering helps ensure you meet event deadlines and maintain professional presentation standards, whether you’re organising a tasting event, corporate giveaway, or branded drinks launch.
Step 1: Know Your Quantities and Needs
Before placing a bulk order, take a moment to assess exactly what you need. Ask yourself:
-
What size bottles do you require? (330ml? 500ml? Swing-top or crown-cap?)
-
How many crates will you need to store or transport those bottles safely?
-
Are you looking for new items, or are you happy with used, refurbished options to save on cost and reduce environmental impact?
At Bottles & Crates, we offer a wide range of both new and high-quality used bottles and crates, so you can mix and match to suit your budget and values.
Step 2: Take Advantage of Our Bulk Discounts
One of the biggest advantages of ordering through us is our competitive bulk pricing. Whether you’re buying 50 bottles or 5,000, we offer discounts that reward larger orders — and we’re happy to advise on how you can combine items to make the most of your spend.
Not sure if you qualify for a discount? Just give us a ring or drop us a message — our team is always happy to help.
Step 3: Simplify Logistics with One-Stop Ordering
Nothing slows things down like managing multiple suppliers. By ordering your bottles, crates, and accessories (like caps or closures) from one source, you simplify your logistics and cut down on admin headaches.
At Bottles & Crates, we provide everything under one roof — meaning fewer emails, fewer deliveries to track, and fewer chances for something to go missing or arrive late.
Step 4: Choose the Right Delivery Option
We know that bulk orders come with unique delivery challenges, whether you’re having a pallet sent to a warehouse or multiple boxes delivered to a residential address. That’s why we offer:
✅ Flexible delivery options (including express and scheduled delivery)
✅ Palletised or boxed shipments to match your storage setup
✅ Nationwide UK coverage, with reliable courier partners
We’ll work with you to make sure your order arrives on time and intact.
Step 5: Don’t Forget Aftercare
Our service doesn’t stop when your order is dispatched. We’re always here to answer questions, help with replacements, or advise on how to clean and store your bottles and crates for maximum lifespan.
We’re proud to offer friendly, knowledgeable support before, during, and after your purchase — because we want you to come back again and again, confident in the quality and care we provide.

Bulk ordering your bottles and crates doesn’t need to be complicated or stressful. With the right supplier (that’s us!), clear communication, and a little planning, you can streamline your bottling and crating needs and focus on what matters — brewing, creating, and delivering great drinks.
