Beverages
How to choose beverages
Presentation versus practicality
Choose Alcoholic Beverages with a wood box for a memento, or a glass bottle if weight matters.
Storage material
For Tea & Infusions, tin keeps tea fresh, paper keeps it light.
Format and waste
Coffee buyers weigh plastic or aluminium pods against paper-wrapped grounds.
Colour choice
Colour drives mood: pink or blue suit events, brown or black stay neutral.
Bundle or single
Food, Beverages & Tobacco sets with flutes fit events, not everyday restock.
What's good
- Tea & Infusions cover a wide colour range, from green to red.
- Alcoholic Beverages often come in wooden or glass boxes, adding a keepsake for weddings and anniversaries.
- Coffee appears in plastic, aluminium and paper formats, so you can choose by convenience or waste.
- Food, Beverages & Tobacco includes sets with toasting flutes and a bottle, suiting a celebration without extra purchases.
- Material choice is broad, with glass, tin and wood each protecting contents differently.
Things to watch
- Wooden boxes for Alcoholic Beverages look smart but add postage weight.
- Tea & Infusions in paper wraps stain and seal less tightly than tin.
- Coffee in plastic or aluminium pods is handy yet creates more rubbish than paper.
- Gold or copper finishes show marks and need polishing, unlike plastic.
- Personalised wood or paper items are wrong for buyers wanting plain stock.
