Originally designed by Beatson Clark in 2005, the iconic glass bottle has been manufactured at its Rotherham facility ever since.
Rawlings, in partnership once again with glass manufacturer Beatson Clark, has supplied a new environmentally friendly, lightweight bottle, allowing the brewery to make savings on raw materials and transport costs.
The new amber bottle weighs 250g rather than the original 282g and features improved embossing of the Robinsons name and Old Tom brand on the glass.
“Working in partnership with Beatson Clark and Rawlings, and using the latest computer software to aid the design, the new lightweight bottle has managed to retain Old Tom’s charm while ensuring that we can continue with our focus on becoming a more environmentally conscious company,” said Graeme Hall, operations and packaging manager for Robinsons Brewery.
