Frequently Asked Questions About Custom Wine Boxes
Can custom wine boxes be sized for courier shipping?
Yes. We manufacture fluted cardboard wine boxes sized to your bottle measurements. Shipping by courier? Tell us your carrier – some require tested bottle packaging, and we'll size the box to suit. Sizing the carton closely around your bottles helps keep them stable and upright during transit.
Can you produce custom boxes for standard 750ml sparkling wine bottles?
Yes. Standard 750ml Champagne and Prosecco bottles have wider base dimensions than standard Bordeaux bottles. We produce dielines to your exact bottle measurements so that your sparkling wine bottles fit securely inside without shifting, wobbling, or straining closure flaps.
How do I ensure my bottles fit snugly inside the box?
When requesting your quote, share your bottle height, diameter, and shoulder profile in millimetres. Our team prepares a tailored dieline engineered around those dimensions so the carton body wraps neatly around the glass, which prevents unwanted bottle movement inside the box.
Can I add metallic foil stamping or spot UV to luxury wine gift boxes?
Yes. For gift sets and reserve vintages, we apply metallic hot foil stamping in gold, silver, copper, or rose gold across estate crests and typography. Spot UV gloss varnish can also be applied over a smooth matte base.
What is the minimum order and how long does it take?
Our minimum order for custom wine boxes is 50 units. Standard production takes 6 to 8 working days following digital artwork proof approval, and every order includes free tracked courier delivery to UK mainland addresses.
Are your custom printed wine boxes recyclable after use?
Yes. Our corrugated wine boxes are manufactured from paperboard and are recyclable when unlaminated. Empty cartons can be flattened and placed straight into standard UK municipal household and commercial cardboard recycling bins. Foil and spot UV finishes may affect recyclability.
