Some factors are described which have enabled beer packaging into glass bottles to be developed, over the last century, from localised small business operations mainly using manual procedures into a large scale highly technical industry. The influences of trading conditions, economics, energy conservation and legislation are included in the description as well as advances in types of package and machinery. Present day technology is reviewed for individual items of plant and equipment in a typical high output bottling line, especially for multi‐trip bottle packaging. Various alternative procedures are mentioned. References are given which discuss in greater detail many of the subjects covered in the review.
