Gingerbeard’s Preserves: Care in every detail
Gingerbeard’s Preserves, the Bristol-based producer known for its multi‑award‑winning, small‑batch preserves, has taken a major step forward in scaling production while staying true to its handmade ethos. As demand for their naturally crafted products continues to rise (especially their much‑loved mini jars) the team needed a filling solution that could deliver greater speed, accuracy, and consistency than hand‑filling alone.
Boosting Production with Precision Filling
To meet growing orders, Gingerbeard’s Preserves turned to the Tenco Doselite volumetric filler from Vigo, a system perfectly suited to thick, viscous preserves and the small fill volumes required for mini jars. Its precision dosing ensures every jar is filled cleanly and consistently, while its quick‑adjust flexibility allows the team to switch between recipes and textures with ease. The modular design also gives the business room to expand production without replacing core equipment.
Since installation, the new filler has delivered:
- More than double the production capacity, enabling the team to meet rising demand
- Freed up staff time for higher‑value tasks across the kitchen
- Improved weight accuracy across every batch
- Reduced strain on other equipment
- Eliminated drips and inconsistencies associated with hand‑filling
A Full Packaging Partnership
With premium glass packaging from Rawlings, the new filling system supplied by Vigo, and bespoke printed paper and cotton bags from Paper Bag Co, Gingerbeard’s Preserves now benefits from a fully integrated packaging and production solution. It’s a partnership that supports them from the first jar to the final bag, helping the brand grow while preserving the craft and quality their customers love.
