We can give you an estimate of how many days your job will take based of the information you provide. Depending on how many bottle changes, lot changes and case count will reflect the time it takes to complete each job. Based on packaging and speed of crew and client performance, we average on the low side 200 cases per hour and highs of 250 cases per hour.
If you want us to print case labels, we will need all information you would like on the labels one week prior to bottling to prepare them. These are standard 3x4 white labels and are still hand applied by your staff.
For those clients with multiple winemakers/clients in one bottling, it will be your responsibility to divide up the invoice at the end of bottling. Ball Bottling will create one invoice per job. Payment is due at the end of bottling and Ball Bottling accepts checks only.
Our pricing system is to help streamline billing and performance. It still breaks down as the same overall cost as previous pricing.
