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.
