Bottle Boxes for Wine, Beer and Spirits

Choose bottle boxes when shipping wine, beer, spirits, cider or bottled oils. Pack Exact supplies protective bottle packaging with strong outer cartons and internal dividers.

The range includes wine bottle boxes, beer bottle boxes and multi-bottle packs for retail, ecommerce, gifts and trade orders. These cardboard bottle boxes feature separate sections that reduce movement and prevent glass bottles from hitting each other.

What are bottle boxes?

Bottle boxes are protective cardboard cartons designed specifically for cylindrical glass containers such as wine, beer, spirits, cider and bottled oils.

Internal dividers or inserts create individual sections for each bottle, helping to prevent bottles clashing together and reducing movement during handling, storage and delivery.

Why use boxes designed for bottles?

Standard packaging boxes may leave too much space around tall glass products. Purpose-made boxes for bottles provide a closer fit and support the bottle at key points.

A secure packaging solution can reduce movement, protect labels and lower the risk of breakage. Keep bottles protected with the correct divider, outer carton and cushioning for their size and weight.

What can bottle boxes be used for?

Wine: protect individual bottles or mixed selections for ecommerce, gifting, subscriptions and retail orders.

Beer & cider: secure longnecks and specialist bottles using dividers and suitable cushioning around narrower products.

Spirits: provide additional protection around heavier gin, whisky, vodka, rum and other glass spirit bottles.

Bottled oils & condiments: protect tall and narrow glass bottles using secure dividers and top or base pads.

Gift sets: create protective multi-bottle packs for tasting sets, corporate gifts and special occasions.

Trade & wholesale: use larger bottle box formats for retail supply, case picking and distribution.

Benefits of cardboard bottle boxes

Protect glass bottles

Strong cardboard outers and internal dividers help isolate bottles and reduce contact during handling and transport.

Reduce movement

Separate compartments keep bottles in position and help stop them moving, rattling or striking one another inside the carton.

Protect labels

A closer fit and individual bottle sections help protect labels and presentation during ecommerce, retail and gift shipments.

Multiple bottle formats

Choose packaging for different quantities, including 3, 6 and 12 bottle formats for smaller shipments through to larger cases.

Recyclable materials

Many bottle shipping boxes use paper-based cardboard components that can enter normal cardboard recycling after use.

Supplied flat

Most cardboard bottle box formats are supplied flat to reduce storage space before they are assembled and used.

Choosing the correct bottle box

Measure the bottle’s height and widest point, including the base, shoulder and closure. Check these measurements against the internal box dimensions.

Consider the number of bottles you need to send. Pack Exact offers formats for 3, 6 and 12 bottles. These suit small wine gifts, mixed selections, subscriptions and larger trade orders.

For heavy glass or longer journeys, choose a strong double walled cardboard outer. A double wall cardboard box can provide extra support around an inner bottle pack.

Check that the dividers fit the bottle shape. Add suitable cushioning around slimmer beer bottles or mixed-size products.

How to pack bottles safely

Assemble the outer carton and seal the base with strong packing tape. Add a base pad before placing the dividers inside.

Load bottles upright and check that each one sits securely in its section. Add bottle sleeves, paper cushioning or bubble wrap if required.

Place a top pad above the bottles, close the carton and seal it using an H-pattern. Always check the packed weight before lifting or shipping.

Protecting bottles during shipping

Keep bottles apart

Use properly fitted internal dividers so glass bottles cannot strike one another during handling.

Fill unnecessary gaps

Add suitable cushioning around smaller or slimmer bottles to reduce unnecessary movement inside each compartment.

Protect the base & top

Use cardboard sheets or suitable pads above and below bottles where additional support is required.

Before sending bottles: check the packed weight, make sure the base, neck and closure are protected, and always follow your chosen courier's rules for shipping liquids and glass.
