What Burch Bottle & Packaging does

Burch Bottle & Packaging, Inc. is a privately held wholesale packaging distributor founded in 1984 and headquartered in Queensbury, New York. The company sells glass containers, plastic containers, and metal containers together with an extensive range of caps and closures — metal closures, plastic closures, dispensing caps, and corks — and supporting supplies such as boxes, shrink bands, and packaging machines. Its product catalog is organized across more than 25 industry verticals, including food and beverage, personal care and cosmetics, candle making, essential oils and aromatherapy, health and wellness, cannabis (with child-resistant options), homebrewing, and laboratory/scientific applications. Beyond catalog resale, the company offers custom mold design, custom caps and closures, and custom packing and warehouse services for buyers requiring non-standard specifications.

The business operates a self-serve B2B e-commerce platform on BigCommerce, supplemented by an inside sales team reachable by phone (800-903-2830) and email, and supports local customer pickup from its Queensbury warehouse with 24-hour notice. Pricing follows a wholesale, volume-tiered model — for example, 28-400 gold metal lids drop from $0.13 to $0.10 per unit at 27,600+ units, and 8oz glass paragon jars drop from $4.34 to $2.57 per unit at 3,000+ cases — with case-based order quantities, a 2–3 business-day processing window, free shipping on cap orders over $75, and a 20% restocking fee on returns. The company distributes to customers throughout the United States and Canada.

Burch Bottle serves a highly fragmented customer base spanning hobbyists, craft producers (e.g., Taconic Distillery, Mud St. Maple, Crackling Embers Candle Co.), and larger commercial buyers, with no single customer concentration disclosed. Marketing is executed primarily through organic SEO across its 25+ industry catalog pages, a content blog with customer spotlights, email newsletters, and Trustpilot reviews. The company identifies itself as one of the key players in the US dispensing caps market alongside Weener Plastics Group (which holds 50.4% share), Qorpak, The Cary Company, and SKS Bottle & Packaging.

Direct peers

• SKS Bottle & Packaging: Direct competitor named alongside Burch in the US dispensing caps market. SKS is a wholesale distributor of glass, plastic, and metal containers plus closures serving similar SMB and craft customer segments via e-commerce.
• Qorpak: Wholesale packaging distributor of glass and plastic containers, labware, and closures. Identified as a co-competitor to Burch in the US dispensing caps market with overlapping product catalog and customer base.
• The Cary Company: Wholesale distributor of containers, closures, and packaging supplies serving industrial and consumer customers. Named alongside Burch as a key player in the US dispensing caps market with comparable breadth.
• O.Berk Company: Wholesale packaging supplier of glass and plastic containers with closures, serving personal care, food & beverage, and household product brands — directly comparable in product mix and customer segments to Burch.
• Container & Packaging Supply: E-commerce-driven wholesale distributor of bottles, jars, tins, and closures targeting small and mid-sized product businesses — closely mirrors Burch's self-serve B2B model and customer profile.

Broad incumbents

• Berlin Packaging: Largest hybrid packaging supplier (manufacturer + distributor) in North America with extensive closure and container lines. Competes with Burch across multiple verticals but at substantially greater scale.
• TricorBraun: Major North American packaging distributor with rigid containers, closures, and supply chain services. Overlaps Burch's customer verticals but with broader capabilities and enterprise-scale logistics.
• Weener Plastics Group: Global leader in dispensing caps with 50.4% US share — competes head-on with Burch in dispensing closures but at far greater scale and as a manufacturer rather than distributor.
• Amcor: Global packaging manufacturer with rigid containers and closures. Competes indirectly where Burch's customers source higher-volume or custom-molded packaging directly from a primary producer.

Emerging players

• PackagingBee: Smaller e-commerce wholesale packaging supplier focused on custom and short-run packaging. Represents a nimble emerging competitor in the same self-serve B2B niche as Burch.
