Lightweight Glass Packaging
Smarter Glass. Lower Weight. Higher Impact.
At Pattesons Glass, we champion lightweight glass packaging designed for efficiency, sustainability, and performance. By removing unnecessary material without compromising quality, our lightweight bottles and jars help you:
- Shrink your carbon footprint — lighter containers mean lower CO₂ emissions during production, transport, and recycling
- Cut material and shipping costs — less glass per unit translates into direct savings on weight-dependent expenses
- Increase supply chain efficiency — lighter pallets are easier to handle, reducing logistical strain
- Help you meet regulatory and sustainability targets — lighter packaging can reduce EPR liability in weight-based schemes
Why Work with Pattesons Glass
- Expert guidance — design support and technical insight to reduce weight smartly
- Strict quality standards — each lightweight solution undergoes thorough durability testing
- UK warehousing & logistics — local stock means faster turnaround and lower transport emissions
- End-to-end service — from sourcing to delivery, making the shift to lightweight seamless
How Lightweighting Works
Our designs preserve the familiar shapes and robustness of traditional glass, but with optimised wall thickness and engineering to eliminate extra weight—an approach backed by decades of experience
Every lightweight piece meets industry standards for durability on filling lines, during transit, and on shelf—so performance and brand perception remain intact
Why Lightweight Glass Matters
Reduce CO₂ emissions — a modest 10% weight reduction can yield up to a 5% lifecycle emission cut
Lower raw material cost — less glass = lower spend
More efficient logistics — lighter packages optimize pallet use, minimizing transport costs
Improve EPR outcomes — weight-based responsibility means lighter containers translate to smaller fees
