If you’re looking to create your own spirit brand or develop custom branded bottles for gifts or events, working with a contract distillery in New Zealand is one of the most effective ways to bring your idea to life.

At SIP Distilling Co., we offer contract distilling services in Auckland alongside custom-labelled bottles using our existing spirits, perfect for corporate gifting, weddings, and special occasions.

What Is Contract Distilling?

Contract distilling allows you to create your own branded spirit without needing to build your own distillery.

We work with you to:

• Develop a custom recipe
• Produce your spirit
• Bottle and label your product
• Bring your brand to life

This is ideal for:

• New spirit brands
• Hospitality groups
• Retail products
• Entrepreneurs entering the spirits market

Custom Branded Bottles for Gifts & Events

Not every project requires building a spirit from scratch. For many clients, the goal is to create premium, personalised bottles using an already proven product.

That’s where our custom labelling service in Auckland comes in.

We supply our range of small-batch spirits and apply your custom label, creating a unique, professional product without the complexity of full production.

Perfect For:

• Corporate gifts and client thank-yous
• Staff rewards and company milestones
• Weddings and event favours
• Branded merchandise or promotional products

What We Provide:

• Our range of high-quality, locally distilled spirits
• Guidance on label design and sizing
• Application of your custom labels
• Flexible order quantities depending on your needs

Why Clients Choose Custom Label Bottles

• Faster turnaround than full contract distilling
• Lower minimum quantities
• Premium product without development costs
• Unique, memorable branded gifts

This option is ideal if you want something personalised and high-end without starting from scratch.
