Nov 2017 – Garçon Wines, BBIC and Instagram

Garçon Wines

I’m delighted to have been included in the BarnsleyBIC autumn newspaper Business Matters with an article on my work with the fabulous Garçon Wines.  The newspaper is available in print form at various locations around Barnsley and available online here.  I have been using BarnsleyBIC as a base for my business for over 3 years now – it is great to be part of a wider business community.  Here’s the article;

Garcon Wines letterbox wine bottle

Flat bottle idea matures nicely

Sarah Greenwood, Packaging consultant at Sarah Greenwood Packaging and one of BarnsleyBIC’s Virtual tenants is currently working hard with award winning inventor of slim-wine bottles Garçon Wines.

Sarah is a packaging technologist with a background is physics and polymer science which gives her that edge when working through the technical limitations of packaging.  She is currently helping them develop bottles slim enough to fit through a letter box yet tough enough to withstand the postal system without the huge amount of protective packaging needed for a standard glass bottle. 

“The project is very exciting, it really is cutting edge and shows real innovation” said Sarah.  The whole project is still in development but keep an eye out and watch this space.  With Sarah’s experience in the packaging industry, we’ll all be getting our wine through the letterbox in no time.

In other news, I’ve recently joined the millenials and have set up a business account on Instagram.  Like many other packaging professionals, I’ve always got an eye on the packaging around me in my everyday life, and this is a record of that.  I post pictures of innovative packaging, repurposed packaging and, well items I just like the look of.
