Raising the Bar on Sustainable Packaging: Why Distillers Are Turning to UniquePak
South Australia’s distilling industry is thriving, and with growth comes responsibility. As producers work toward carbon neutrality by 2050, packaging is emerging as a key area for impact. It’s no longer just about aesthetics; it’s about performance, cost, and environmental credibility.
That’s where UniquePak, a TricorBraun Company, steps in.
We’re more than a packaging supplier. We’re your strategic partner in creating bottles that look exceptional (and stand out on a crowded shelf), perform reliably, and support your sustainability goals. Whether you’re launching a new product or refining an existing line, we help distillers balance brand identity, cost-eƯiciency, and environmental impact.
What’s in it for you?
Let’s be honest, sustainable packaging sounds great, but many distillers face real barriers. McKinsey’s 2025 report on packaging highlights the top challenges: cost, performance, supply constraints, and confusion around what “sustainable” really means.
We understand these pressures. That’s why our solutions are built for the real world:
- Sustainable custom design lightweight bottles that reduce freight costs and carbon emissions
- High-flint glass made with recycled content, lowering energy use and boosting our environmental credentials
- Eco-friendly closures like sugarcane-based stoppers and recyclable bar tops that elevate your brand
- Custom designs that preserve your brand while cutting waste
- Reliable supply chains backed by TricorBraun’s global network
- And most importantly, grow your business responsibly – with packaging that’s designed to meet both market and environmental demands
We’ve worked with dozens of Australian distillers over the past few years, helping them save money, reduce their footprint, and still look great on the shelf.
Sustainability doesn’t mean sacrificing style, and we’ve proven that.
Why it matters
Today’s consumers care deeply about sustainability. Retailers are demanding it. Regulators are enforcing it. And Distillers South Australia is leading the charge with its 11-module sustainability program and LEAP initiative.
Packaging is one of the most visible ways to show your commitment. It’s not just about compliance, it’s about diƯerentiation. By choosing smarter packaging, you’re not only reducing your footprint, you’re building trust and loyalty.
Let’s talk at the conference

We’re here to help you raise the bar; and the bottle.
