Product Overview
Professional 6-bottle wine shipper box engineered for direct-to-consumer (DTC) wine fulfillment, winery club shipments, and e-commerce wine retail. The double-wall BC-flute corrugated construction (ECT-44, burst strength 275 psi) provides crush resistance through the parcel carrier network, while the custom molded pulp insert cradles each bottle individually — preventing glass-to-glass contact and absorbing transit vibration. Die-cut integrated handholds make carrier handling effortless, and the self-locking bottom eliminates tape for faster packing line throughput. ISTA 6-FedEx-A tested and certified for single-parcel wine shipment. Manufactured by Guangdong Bincai Color Printing Co., Ltd. (founded 2003) — 22 years of structural packaging expertise.
