Testimonials

We have been doing business with Waterloo since 2009 and received countless shipments from them, and honestly we have NEVER had a problem with any other!! Always have friendly sales representatives to take our orders!! We looking forward to continue with Waterloo for many years!!
Boutier Winery LLC
I have worked with Waterloo Container for the past 4 years. Gallagher Olive Oil is an established local business, but like many small business, we have our challenges! Waterloo Container has been able to meet our needs; whether helping with logo design, or trouble shooting FedEx deliveries...we appreciate their attention to detail. Always a pleasure to do business with!

Gallagher Olive Oil
Waterloo has been an absolute pleasure for us to work with as a fledgling boutique winery. They understand the dynamics and limitations of our operation and are always more than willing to ensure we have the right product for our needs. While it is possible for us to source items closer to home, the value of relationship with Waterloo makes them remain our go-to supplier.

The Blue Stem Wine House
Seven years ago we decided to make a dramatic change in our bottle presentation from traditional paper stock to screen-printed labels. As we fine tuned our labels over the years—this color, no that color, slightly bigger font, no slightly smaller, should we do cursive...—Holli and the rest of the team at Waterloo were a steadfast and integral part of the operations. They worked with our small batch quantities and helped catch errors that we missed; from grammatical to TTB compliant, always making sure what we received was of the utmost quality.
Grace Winery
Waterloo Container has been an outstanding partner for our winery's packaging needs. Their team consistently delivers excellent customer service, timely and clear communication, and makes the entire process seamless from start to finish. We’ve had great experiences working with them on custom screen-printed bottles, sleeved bottles, and custom caps — all of which were executed flawlessly and to a very high standard. Orders are handled efficiently, questions are answered quickly, and their products are consistently reliable and high quality. We truly appreciate their professionalism and would highly recommend Waterloo Container to anyone looking for a trusted packaging supplier.
L'uva Bella Winery
As a smaller producer, it’s not uncommon for our volume to feel like it doesn't align with the priorities of our suppliers. That’s never been the case working with Waterloo. From day one, their team has made us feel valued, regardless of scale.
Working with the Waterloo representatives, especially Jackson, is consistently a pleasure. Whether we’re ordering a dozen pallets or a single mixed pallet across multiple bottle styles, our requests are always met with a lending hand to make sure we get exactly the style and volume we need at the most efficient price points.
When it came time to set up our bottling line, we relied heavily on frequent consultation and detailed technical information. The fact that we could count on same-day responses made a meaningful difference and helped keep the entire process moving smoothly and confidently.
Waterloo sets the standard for what working with a supplier should look like.
Owen Valley Winery

As a winery owner and winemaker we value the relationship we have with Waterloo Container to get us the bottling materials we need and more than anything else - going above and beyond to deliver the BEST customer service . I'll be honest, some wineries are great at planning and scheduling their bottling runs for the year - we are not one of them. Whether I am ordering weeks in advance or sometimes days or even a day in advance the team at Waterloo always does whatever it can to meet my needs with delivery timing and making me feel like its in the best of hands. Even last second issues are managed with a heightened sense of urgency, last year on bottling day I realized at the last second before we started that I ordered the wrong color glass - totally my fault - rather than having to shut it all down and change plans, the Waterloo team quickly made the bottles available for me to pick up and accepted a return of the wrongly placed order. They saved the day - we were still able to bottle thanks to their help and flexibility. We obviously have choices in where to get our bottling supplies - but for us we don't just look at it as a bottle, it feels like a real partnership.

We have had the pleasure of working with Waterloo Containers in obtaining wine bottles for our boutique winery in NE Indiana for well over a decade. Waterloo's competitive pricing along with their fantastic bottle choices are one of the reasons we partnered with them so many years ago. Morgan Bruno and staff have always been very helpful, communicative, professional and expedient in our business dealings and are our go-to wine bottle supplier. We are grateful for our relationship and look forward to many more years of bottling great wines! Cheers!
