Wine packaging solutions from Pioneer Packaging
Whether you’re shipping wine from a vineyard overseas, or you’re simply bringing wine to a picnic, effective wine packaging solutions are key to protecting the product. Here, we take a closer look at different types of wine shippers and wine carriers.
Wine Shippers
In order to protect the glass wine bottles as well as the quality of the wine itself, there are many considerations that go into a wine shipper’s packaging design. The packaging materials must be durable enough to withstand normal shipping and handling, while soft enough to provide cushioning and further protection. Wine shippers must also provide thermal insulation, as many wines’ flavor and quality may be affected by extreme temperature changes. Molded pulp is a common material used for wine shippers, as it is a safe, economical and sustainable choice.
Wine Carriers and Totes
Traveling with wine requires special considerations as well, but in order to appeal to the consumer/wine drinker, the packaging design of wine carriers and totes must be attractive and convenient. Typical materials used for wine totes include wood, aluminum, leather, suede, wicker, nylon, woven straw and polyester canvas. Removable dividers and adjustable shoulder straps provide versatility and ease of use. Insulated wine totes keep temperatures controlled, and closures range from zippers and metal clasps to Velcro. Many carriers include additional compartments for wine accessories, such as bottle openers, bottle stoppers, napkins and wine glasses.
