Paper Bottle Machine Deal In California

California’s Monterey Wine Company,  a Californian custom wine production facility, is the 

second paper bottle machine Frugalpac has sold for export after Canada’s KinsBrae Packaging – 

which is now expected to double paper bottle production in North America to five million a year.

Lord Offord, UK Minister for Exports, said: “This is brilliant news for Frugalpac whose Frugal 

Bottle is a great British innovation that will help the US drinks industry decarbonise. The 

collaboration with Monterey Wine Company is a fantastic example of how our two countries can work 

together to increase trade and meet our Net Zero goals.”

Malcolm Waugh, Frugalpac chief executive, said bringing flat recycled paperboard and pouches into 

the winery to be assembled reduces the amount of delivery trucks ‘by four’.

Frugal Bottles are made from ‘94% recycled paperboard’ with a food-grade pouch and weighing 

just 83g before filled and are five times lighter than glass – which the company claims means 

they have a carbon footprint six times lower than glass bottles, as well as ‘360° branding’ 

for enhanced shelf presence.

MWC is based in the US heart of wine-production, in King City on the Central Coast of California 

– 80% of all U.S. wines produced in California.

The brand is within a 200-mile radius of all California’s main appellations, and had already 

established a dedicated filling service for brands to fill Frugal Bottles for wine and spirits 

brands in the US.

The deal means the paper bottles will now also be made in California and MWC can offer bottle 

production, filling and packing in an end-to-end service for the US drinks industry.
