Guide: How to pack your wine bottles for shipping?

When a company decides to offer bottle delivery, it must provide an impeccable shipping service. Bottles need to be transported securely to deliver an excellent service while minimising losses and breakages.

Every bottle shipment reflects your company’s image and professionalism. It is therefore essential to select the right shipping box and the most suitable protective packaging accessories.

  

Choosing the right shipping box

Bottles are probably among the most difficult products to ship. Parcels can be shaken, knocked and handled roughly during transport. Bottle protection and safety are therefore essential, beginning with the choice of an appropriate shipping box.

 

The different options available

Oplezio offers several shipping box solutions designed to meet a variety of requirements.

• Shipping wine: Barcelona shipping boxes are ideal for transporting bottles safely. You can choose an outer shipping box on its own or combine it with sleeves or gift boxes. The sleeve holds each bottle securely during shipping and prevents glass containers from knocking against one another. These boxes and inserts are available for one, two, three, six or twelve 75 cl bottles, as well as magnum bottles.
• Shipping beer: Our Amsterdam and Brussels ranges allow you to transport cans and bottles of up to 33 cl. The Amsterdam model holds twelve bottles and is a simple but secure handling box. The Brussels shipping box is available for six, twelve or twenty-four beers and features individual compartments to keep each bottle securely in place during transport.

  

Enhancing shipping through customisation

Improve your customers’ experience by offering customised shipping boxes. Bags are not the only type of packaging that can carry your branding. By demonstrating your professionalism and attention to detail when shipping products, you create a positive and lasting impression of your company.

Contact our Creative Studio to discuss the available customisation options. With our team, almost anything is possible. From a black-and-white logo or a full-colour message to a QR code, you can discuss all your ideas with our specialists.

  

Selecting the ideal protective packaging accessory

A cardboard box alone is not always enough to protect bottles during transport. Oplezio therefore offers a range of effective protective packaging solutions. From packaging filler and Bulle Bags to bubble wrap, you can choose the most suitable accessories for shipping bottles safely.

  

Packaging filler

Packaging filler is ideal for keeping your bottles secure. Simply fill the box with the material before placing the bottles inside. Its small accordion-shaped strips or fine fibres provide effective cushioning around each bottle.

At Oplezio, our packaging filler is available in wood, synthetic material or paper with our SizzlePak range. The paper version is available in around ten colours to enhance the presentation of your shipments.

   

Papperbulle and bubble wrap

The Bulle Bag acts as a second skin for your bottles. This protective air-cushioned sleeve closely surrounds the bottle to provide effective protection. Simply place the bottle inside before inserting it into the shipping box.

Designed to protect bottles of wine, spirits and other liquids, this breakage-resistant and leak-resistant sleeve helps prevent unpleasant surprises in the event of an accident. Its airtight closing system combines a double zip, a hook-and-loop strip and a protective air-cushioned structure to reduce the risk of breakage and safely contain any leaking liquid.

Bubble wrap

Plastic bubble wrap effectively protects one or more bottles. Wrapping each product individually helps keep it secure inside the box throughout transport.

As you can see, Oplezio offers a broad selection of shipping products so that every business can find packaging suited to its requirements and provide trouble-free deliveries. All that remains is to select the most appropriate options for your business and your customers.
