You wouldn't think something so simple as delivering a package from A to B could be
littered with so many potential problems but unfortunately, guaranteeing the safe shipping
of your client's wine and champagne packages, is much more complicated than it once was.
Many couriers will promise safety in transit but there's really no better way to ensure
protection and peace of mind than choosing the right packaging.
To make life that little bit easier, we've put our heads together at WBC and used our
many years of experience and wisdom to collate a star system for rating our drinks transit
packaging. We're not making any promises but we've given each of our products in this
category the most honest evaluation we can so that you can make the most informed
decision possible.
Designed for re-packing mixed cases in-store (ideal for case of the month selections) or
for customers to carry wines from premises to car, these economical packaging solutions
are perfect for local deliveries made personally or by district courier.
Recommended only for use with specialist wine couriers, a starburst pad can be added
to the cost-effective B6 packaging to improve the security of the contents by preventing
bottle-necks from moving in transit - a bit like a seatbelt for wine!
Suitable for dispatch by specialist wine couriers and those utilising cage based sorting
systems, this is budget packaging with luxury properties. Cushioned with a starburst pad
the BX12, B12 and B6 reportedly travel safely through a conveyor based sorting system
without damage to the wine contents but, no matter what option you chose, we always
recommend discussing your selection with your courier prior to dispatch.
Ding Ding! Round One! This heavyweight is believed capable of withstanding the national
courier networks conveyor sorting systems (although it's just too hefty for airfreight!). A cheaper
alternative to Polysafe, the Mailsafe range offers nearly the same level of protection and comes
recommended by WBC for all your distribution requirements. However, for rare and high value
wines, the packages that you just can’t take a chance with, we would always urge using the
Polysafe range.
The Daddy of Bottle Box Packaging, Polysafe is as the name suggests, a lightweight polystyrene
packaging for wine, suitable for international airfreight and robust, capable of withstanding the
roughest national courier networks using conveyor based sorting systems. Superior quality and
performance like this doesn't come cheap but Polysafe is simply the only range WBC would
recommend for high value wines and champagne distribution.
