Slades and Cottonwood Springs utilise state-of-the-art bottling and packaging machinery to ensure efficiency and quality. Manufacturing for well known organisations in Australia such as Aldi, Coles and Frucor Suntory.

The process begins with consultation and planning, where the specific needs of the client, including bottle size, labeling, and production volumes, are determined.

Once the specifications are set, the production phase involves sourcing the necessary materials, including bottles, caps, and labels, often tailored to the client's branding requirements. The beverages are then filled, capped, and labeled under strict quality control measures to ensure consistency and adherence to safety standards.

After packaging, products undergo a final inspection before being prepared for distribution. Slades and Cottonwood Springs also offer warehousing and logistics services, ensuring that the packaged products are stored correctly and delivered to retailers or distributors as needed.
