Sustainable, Versatile Aluminium Packaging from BlueSky

1st August 2023

At BlueSky, we provide brands with aluminium packaging solutions that combine exceptional product protection, premium branding potential, and best-in-class sustainability. As consumer and regulatory pressures intensify, aluminium packaging offers a future-ready choice across personal care, food, beverage, supplements, home care, and more.

Why Leading UK Brands Choose Aluminium Packaging

Unmatched Versatility for Every Product Type

From 10ml tins to 1-litre bottles, aluminium packaging is suitable for a wide variety of product formats – liquids, creams, gels, powders, and solid formats. Its barrier properties preserve product quality, while its sleek, minimal design enhances shelf presence.

Whether you’re in personal care, home care, cosmetics, VMS, or beverage, aluminium delivers on both form and function.

2. Sustainability That Supports Your Brand Values

Aluminium is infinitely recyclable – it can be reused without any loss in quality. Using PCR (Post-Consumer Recycled) aluminium consumes just 5% of the energy required for primary production, drastically reducing your carbon footprint.

This aligns with EU PPWR targets for recycled content and recyclable formats. BlueSky offers 100% PCR aluminium options for select bottles and jars.

3. Lightweight and Durable for Reduced Environmental Impact

Aluminium packaging is strong yet lightweight, which lowers transport emissions and reduces damage risk. For brands looking to cut waste and support efficient logistics, this is a win-win.

Additional Benefits of BlueSky Aluminium Packaging

🛡️ Inner Lacquer Protection

Our bottles include an epoxy phenolic inner lacquer to maintain product stability – making them ideal for everything from skincare formulations and dry powders to alcohol-based sprays and cleaning agents.

♻️ The Shaker Can: Refillable Powder Format

One of the stand-out additions to our range, the Shaker Can is a sustainable, refillable aluminium pack with a snap-on multi-hole cap, perfect for free-flowing powders, dry shampoo, grooming products, and more. Designed for functionality, refill schemes, and shelf appeal.

🎨 Custom Branding Options

With printing, matte/gloss finishes, and Pantone colour matching, we help you create aluminium packaging that’s not only practical but on-brand and retail-ready. For aluminium bottles, we can also print on stock bottles, which adds another level of flexibility, especially if you are wanting brand packaging from MOQ of 1000 units. Showcase your identity and improve consumer engagement through custom decoration.
