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

What are single bottle boxes?

Single bottle boxes are cardboard packaging that is the optimum size for shipping a single bottle. They are commonly used for beer, wine, spirits, or other beverages sold in glass bottles. They can protect the product during shipping and provide a memorable unboxing experience for customers.

Do bottle boxes have space for inserts?

Single bottle boxes can be produced in any size to accommodate specific shapes or sizes. This also means that the boxes can have space for protective inserts, such as foam, flexi-hex, die-cut cardboard fittings, or other types of cushioning.

Are single bottle boxes recyclable?

Single-bottle boxes, made using varying grades of corrugated cardboard, are easily recycled by your customers. The outer pack and any paper-based inserts are accepted in UK kerbside bins.

Can single bottle boxes be printed?

You can choose to add printing to both the external and internal surfaces of your bottle packaging. Beyond the brand awareness this can help with, adding handling instructions can also help ensure your pack is treated carefully during shipping.

Are bottle boxes strong enough to protect bottles during shipping?

Single bottle boxes use a strong, durable double-wall material. They also feature stapled seams for additional strength. As such, they are a tried and tested method for shipping bottles of all shapes and sizes.
