The moulding machines relocated to Aberdeen, and bottle closures for brands such as Drambuie were silk screen printed there, but the majority had additional processes carried out in Glasgow or Kirkintilloch. One example is the jigger cap made for Teachers; the biggest brand volume wise. This item is an example of a closure manufactured for Old Smuggler Whisky bottles, produced in much smaller quantities. The moulds for it were produced by Eadie Bros. of Paisley.
