Selected answer:packaged by

Explanation:
This is commonly used when companies import in bulk and then repackage into retail sizes. The term often used is "packaged by". For example a label could read:
"Made in Whatever Country, packaged in Australia by Great Aussie Company."

Sorry - forgot to mention that I would simply skip the mention of type of packaging (in this case bottles) - especially if you need this for labels, as this is obvious and does not need to be written down. If this is for a business document rather than for labels then the way to go would be "packaged into 500 ml bottles..."
