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 Minnesota's Sophisticated Market
Minnesota has one of America's most educated populations and a business culture that values quality, design, and substance — reflected in the fact that Target, Best Buy, General Mills, and 3M are all headquartered here. These global consumer brands set a packaging quality standard that shapes the entire Minnesota market's expectations. Branded Boxes serves Minnesota businesses with packaging that meets Minnesota's exacting quality standards.

Carrier Boxes in Minnesota — FAQs
What bottle formats can carrier boxes accommodate?
We engineer carriers for Bordeaux, Burgundy, and Champagne wine bottles, standard spirits bottles, craft beer bottles, and non-standard shapes. Each format requires a specific neck opening diameter and base footprint. Contact us with your bottle dimensions for carrier engineering.

Carrier handles are load-tested to at least 3x the expected product weight for standard carry cycles. We conduct handle pull testing on first-article samples before production release.
