THE KB BOTTLE
TAKING SUSTAINABILITY TO THE NEXT LEVEL:
Innovative | Sustainable | Revolutionary
The KB Bottle is the world’s first and only commercially available wine, spirits, and olive oil bottle, made from 100% recycled paper!
KB Bottles are five times lighter than glass, have six times lower carbon footprint, and provide 360-degrees of branding space. This innovative packaging technology offers a disruptive and revolutionary alternative to glass.
KinsBrae is proud to own the world’s first Frugal Bottle Assembly Machine (FBAM-1) from British sustainable packaging firm, Frugalpac. The FBAM-1 can produce more than 2.5 million paper bottles per year. This allows us to help several North American companies move to more sustainable packaging and reduce their carbon footprint, by switching to the KB Bottle.

AWARDS AND ACHIEVEMENTS
filling kb bottles
Filling: Designed for Ambient-Filled, Non-Carbonated Liquids
The paper KB Bottle is engineered to work with ambient-filled, non-carbonated liquids, making it a strong, sustainable alternative to glass and plastic for a wide range of products. The internal pouch performs best at room temperature and is not designed to withstand carbonation or extreme heat, which helps maintain the bottle’s structure, seal integrity, and overall product quality.
This filling method is ideal for products such as:
• Wine and spirits
• Juice blends and cold-fill beverages
• Liquid nutraceuticals
• Oils, vinegars, and specialty food liquids
• Ready-to-drink products without carbonation

capping kb bottles
Capping: Secure, Tamper-Evident, and Reliable
Once filled, the KB Bottle is sealed with a durable, tamper-evident cap designed to lock in freshness and ensure product safety. The closure system mirrors traditional bottling line functionality, which helps producers integrate the KB Bottle into existing workflows with minimal equipment changes. The result is a consistent, leak-proof seal that protects the product throughout storage, shipping, and consumer use.
KB Bottles come with a standard black ROPP cap; however, the closure can be customized to match your branding goals. Whether you need a sleek matte finish, a colour-matched cap, or a more premium custom design, the cap system offers flexibility without compromising performance or recyclability.
Capping Advantages:
-
Tamper-evident design provides consumer confidence
