Carrier gift boxes
Cardboard bottle carriers are a type of box, usually with an integral handle, that your customers can use to carry multiple bottles (e.g. from a retail store to their car or home). They also typically feature internal dividers that help when packing and unpacking and stop bottles from clinking.
The custom cardboard bottle carriers we manufacture at GWP Packaging are suitable for safely carrying wine, beer and other drinks. Our designers can tailor the size, material strength and configuration to meet your specific requirements.
Available plain or with a range of print options, you can also add cut-out windows to show the bottles inside.
Benefits of our bottle carriers
Sourcing your cardboard bottle carriers from GWP, offers numerous benefits:
What our customers say...
We’re really grateful to GWP for coming up with the idea for our boxes and cardboard trays. We’ve struggled for some time with inappropriate boxes that were often breaking. The new box design is great, it’s really comfortable to use and very durable. Everyone here at Swindon Foodbank agrees that they give a very professional image for the charity.
Lee Thompson | Manager | Swindon Foodbank
GWP always offers us an efficient, timely service with great results. If we need to talk to or see someone, it’s always possible, samples are turned around in good time and nothing is too much effort. Being able to talk through concepts, see samples and tweak until we have exactly what we want has been indispensable in our operations; it means we can get the product just so and be confident that when we receive bulk delivery all will be as expected.
Liz Cuff | Marketing Manager | Tracklements
Great company to work with, very helpful and friendly. We needed a custom box designed and GWP produced the initial sample prototypes within 2 weeks from our initial meeting. Production volume order arrived to spec and ahead of schedule. Will use again.

FAQs
Can bottle carriers be printed?
Any wine or beer bottle carrier you specify from GWP can include print. Options include simple one or two-colour logos, detailed illustrations, or even full-colour photographic quality print.
How many bottles can fit in these carriers?
Bottle carriers can be manufactured to accommodate your chosen number of boxes. While three, four, and six-bottle carriers are all popular, custom configurations to accommodate a specific number of bottles are possible.
What materials do bottle carriers use?
Bottle carriers use corrugated cardboard in their manufacture. The exact grade of material used depends on the size, shape, and weight of the bottles to be carried, with heavier contents potentially requiring double-wall cardboard.
Are bottle carriers suitable for wine and spirits?
Bottle carriers can be produced in sizes to accommodate wine and spirit bottles. Due to their larger sizes and additional weight, these carriers typically accommodate fewer bottles than beer bottle carriers.
Do bottle carriers include dividers?
By default, the majority of cardboard beer and wine bottle carriers include internal dividers. Dividers help prevent the bottles from “clinking” against each other when transported, add additional protection, and make packing easier.
Can bottle carriers feature windows?
Many bottle packs include a window to help show off the products inside. Usually, the window position displays the labels on the bottles. However, you can choose not to include windows if you do not need or want them.
