24 Pack vs 48 Pack: How to Choose the Right Cawston Press Size for Your Needs

When you’re stocking up on your favourite Cawston Press drinks, one of the first decisions you’ll face is which pack size to choose. The 24 pack and 48 pack options are both popular, but they serve different needs. Whether you’re shopping for a busy family, a single household, or an office refreshment station, understanding the trade-offs between these sizes will save you money, space, and hassle.

In this guide, we’ll break down the key factors to consider: cost per can, storage requirements, consumption rate, and flavour variety. By the end, you’ll know exactly which pack size fits your lifestyle.

Cost Per Can: Is Bigger Always Cheaper?

One of the biggest reasons people choose a 48 pack over a 24 pack is the lower cost per can. Buying in bulk almost always reduces the unit price, and Cawston Press is no exception. For example, a 24 pack of Elderflower Lemonade typically costs less per can than the same drink in a 6 or 12 pack, but the 48 pack takes that saving even further. If you’re a regular drinker, the upfront investment in a larger pack pays off over time.

However, it’s important to weigh that saving against your actual consumption. If you only drink one can a week, the 48 pack might sit in your cupboard for months, and the cans could lose their fizz or freshness. For heavy households or offices where drinks disappear quickly, the 48 pack is a clear winner. For occasional sippers, the 24 pack offers a better balance of value and freshness.

• Compare the price per can between 24 and 48 packs before buying.
• Check the best-before date on larger packs to ensure you’ll finish them in time.

Storage Space: Where Will You Keep Your Drinks?

A 48 pack of Cawston Press cans takes up a fair amount of space. If you have a dedicated pantry, garage shelf, or under-stairs storage, that’s fine. But if you’re in a small flat or share a kitchen, finding room for 48 cans can be a challenge. A 24 pack is more compact and fits neatly into a standard cupboard or on a countertop without overwhelming the area.

Consider also how you like to serve your drinks. If you entertain often or have kids who grab a can after school, having a 48 pack on hand means you’re less likely to run out. But if you prefer to keep your drinks chilled, a 24 pack is easier to fit into the fridge. Many people split the difference: they keep a 24 pack in the fridge and store the rest in a cool, dark place.

• Measure your available shelf or cupboard space before ordering a 48 pack.
• If fridge space is tight, choose a 24 pack and rotate stock from a cool pantry.

Consumption Rate: Who’s Drinking the Cans?

Your household size and drinking habits are the most important factors. A single person who enjoys one can a day will finish a 24 pack in about three weeks, and a 48 pack in about seven weeks. That’s still within a reasonable freshness window. But a family of four might go through a 24 pack in less than a week, making the 48 pack a much more practical choice.

If you’re buying for an office or shared workspace, the 48 pack is almost always the better option. Colleagues will grab cans throughout the day, and you won’t want to restock every few days. For example, a popular flavour like Sparkling Cloudy Apple is a hit in many workplaces, and having a 48 pack ensures there’s always something refreshing available.

• Track how many cans your household drinks per week to estimate the right pack size.
• For shared spaces, start with a 48 pack of a crowd-pleasing flavour.

Flavour Variety: Mixing It Up with Multipacks

One downside of buying a 48 pack is that you’re committing to a single flavour. If you love Apple & Rhubarb, that’s great. But if you or your family enjoy variety, a 48 pack might lead to flavour fatigue. Cawston Press offers 24 packs in many of the same flavours, so you can buy two different 24 packs and rotate them without taking up much more space.

Alternatively, consider the Multipack x 4 Elderflower Lemonade (6 pack) option, which gives you four 6-packs of a single flavour. While not a direct comparison to the 24 vs 48 question, it shows that Cawston Press understands the need for variety. If you’re torn between two flavours, buying a 24 pack of each might be more satisfying than a 48 pack of one.

• If you get bored easily, buy two 24 packs of different flavours instead of one 48 pack.
• Check if your favourite flavour is available in both sizes before deciding.

Choosing between a 24 pack and a 48 pack of Cawston Press drinks comes down to your household size, storage space, and how quickly you go through cans. For most families and offices, the 48 pack offers unbeatable value and convenience. For smaller households or those who love variety, the 24 pack is a smart, flexible choice. Ready to stock up?
