Key Features
Custom Carrier Boxes — Multi-Bottle and Multi-Can Packaging for Beverages
Carrier boxes transform individual beverage bottles and cans into branded multi-pack retail products. The carrier simultaneously provides structural support for multiple heavy containers, creates a convenient carry format for consumers, and presents a large, billboard-format print surface that communicates brand identity at the shelf and in consumers' hands as they carry the product home.
We produce beverage carriers in four-pack, six-pack, and custom multi-pack configurations for glass bottles, aluminum cans, and plastic bottles. Each carrier is structurally engineered for the specific container dimensions, weight, and neck finish of the product it holds, with handle geometry tested for comfortable carrying of the full loaded weight.
Carrier Engineering for Bottle and Can Dimensions
Every carrier box is engineered around the specific container it holds. Bottle neck openings must match the bottle neck diameter with appropriate clearance — too tight and the carrier is difficult to load; too loose and bottles shift and collide during carrying. Can carriers use die-cut panels that grip the can body at standard diameters. We request container dimensions and conduct engineering samples before production release on all carrier programs.
Basket Carrier vs Wraparound Carrier
Basket carriers fully enclose the bottom and sides of bottles with an integrated carry handle across the top — the standard format for wine and spirit bottle four-packs. Wraparound carriers wrap around the outside of cans or bottles without a full bottom panel — commonly used for beer six-packs where the lighter corrugated structure is appropriate. We produce both formats and help brands select the right construction for their product weight and retail environment.
Custom Packaging for Maine's Premium Brands
Maine has built one of America's most powerful state-of-origin brand premiums — 'Made in Maine' commands significant price premiums for lobster, blueberries, maple syrup, craft beer, and artisan goods in national markets. Packaging that authentically communicates Maine provenance is not just a nice-to-have for Maine brands — it is a core component of their pricing strategy. Branded Boxes produces packaging that makes Maine's origin premium visible and credible.
Maine Lobster and Seafood Packaging
Maine lobster is arguably the most recognized seafood product in the United States, commanding premium prices in specialty retail, high-end restaurants, and direct-to-consumer markets nationally. Packaging for Maine lobster and seafood brands must communicate the state's pristine ocean environment, sustainable harvesting practices, and authentic Maine heritage. We produce seafood brand packaging for Maine fisheries competing in premium national and international markets.
Portland's Artisan Food and Craft Scene
Portland, Maine has emerged as one of America's great food cities — its concentration of James Beard award-winning chefs, artisan food producers, and craft breweries creates demand for premium packaging that matches the culinary quality of the products. We produce premium food packaging for Portland's artisan brands with kraft materials, natural aesthetics, and the premium finishes appropriate for specialty food retail.
Maine Tourism and Artisan Gift Packaging
Maine's tourism industry drives significant demand for gift packaging — the state's artisan crafts, specialty foods, and branded merchandise require premium packaging that communicates Maine's natural beauty and craft quality to visitors and gift recipients across the country.
