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) — 23 years of structural packaging expertise.

Why This Wine Shipper — Protection Comparison
- Double-Wall Corrugated for Crush Resistance: BC-flute construction (6.0–6.5mm combined caliper) with ECT-44 rating (44 lb/in edge crush) and 275 psi burst strength — engineered to survive multi-hub parcel carrier sorting and stacking.
- Molded Pulp Insert for Bottle Isolation: Each of the 6 bottles sits in its own molded pulp cradle (3mm wall thickness, 100% recycled fiber), eliminating glass-to-glass contact and absorbing transit vibration that causes label scuffing.
- 6-Bottle Configuration: Optimized for standard wine case quantities — fits all standard Bordeaux, Burgundy, and Champagne bottle shapes (up to 340×240×320mm internal). Single-bottle through 12-bottle configurations available on the same production line.
- ISTA-Certified Drop Protection: Validated to ISTA 6-FedEx-A protocol for single-parcel wine shipment — reduces damage claims, carrier chargebacks, and customer disappointment from broken bottles.
