WHAT IS CLP?
Craft Liquid Packaging is an independent contract packaging company based at Top Farm in Cambridgeshire. We specialise in small-to-medium production runs for drinks brands looking for flexible, high-quality bottling, canning and packaging.
Having built and grown their own drinks brand Ben & Dan understand the challenges of finding reliable, flexible packaging partners. Craft Liquid Packaging was created to give other brands access to a high-quality bottling line without the high minimum volumes often required by large facilities.
OUR STORY
Craft Liquid Packaging began with a simple idea in 2025. When a barn at Top Farm became available, a conversation about how the space could be used quickly turned into plans for a dedicated packaging facility.
Ben and Dan, who also founded Cranes Cider, had already experienced the challenges many drinks brands face when trying to scale production. When Ben discovered a bottling line that would fit the space perfectly, the idea quickly became reality.
With the help of industry experts, Ben, Dan and Sam installed and built the entire line themselves, transforming the barn into a working production site.
OUR FACILITY
Our production line operates from a converted agricultural barn at Top Farm in Cambridgeshire. The facility was designed specifically to provide efficient, flexible packaging for growing drinks brands while maintaining the independence and attention to detail of a small team.
