Filling, labelling and packing from miniatures to 750 ml, for launch batches and repeat production alike.
Product development
Liquid selection or bespoke development, with sample rounds and formal approval before you commit.
Licensing support
Practical guidance on compliant routes to market, with responsibilities defined in your agreement.
Export capability
Bonded storage, documentation and experience supplying importers, agents and distributors abroad.
Manufacturing routes
Four ways to work with BSOA.
Each route answers a different commercial need. If you are unsure which fits, tell us about the market and the consumer and we will point you to the right one.
How it works
Six steps from brief to bottle.
A clear, repeatable process with decision points you control — so cost, quantity and responsibility are agreed before anything is filled.
- 01
Brief
We start with the market, the consumer, the channel and the commercial ambition — not the bottle.
- 02
Concept and liquid
Select an existing liquid profile or develop one for your brand, then evaluate and approve samples.
- 03
Commercial proposal
Agree scope, costs, minimum quantities, payment terms and who is responsible for what.
- 04
Packaging and artwork
Bottle, closure, label and carton selected and proofed, with statutory label requirements checked.
- 05
Production
Filling, labelling, packing and quality checks at our Cape Town facility, in formats from miniatures to 750 ml.
- 06
Route to market
Bonded storage, dispatch, documentation and practical guidance for local sale or export.
