What this format opens

The European craft standard

If you’re moving to it from something larger, this is usually about volume: retail listings, subscription boxes, on-trade fridges, all built around the small bottle.

Will it run on your machine

Diameter against the 53–76 mm range, height, grip and centring, crown size, and what’s actually on your machine now. Worth knowing that even within “330ml”, bottles from different glassworks aren’t dimensionally identical. The check is against your bottle, not against a nominal volume.

Making, fitting, changing over

Plan on Roughly 6–8 weeks for production, and another 2–4 weeks if we’re assembling and testing it here before it ships. The real dates go in the written quote. Shipped DAP across Europe.

No two kits are quite the same — what yours contains depends on your bottle and your machine, and the quote itemises it. We’ll fit it, commission it and train your operator, or ship it to your own team. After that, switching between formats is an operating procedure rather than another purchase.

The questions this conversion actually raises

Do I need separate kits for 33cl and 330ml?

No, one kit.

How much?

From EUR 1,000, made to order.

My 330ml bottle’s from a different supplier now. Does that matter?

It can. Diameter and finish vary between glassworks. Put the details in the check.

Can I run this and a larger format?

Yes. A kit adds a format rather than replacing one.

Compliance?

We restore what the machine does. We don’t change its function, and we don’t add or re-issue any CE certification.
