How to Package Glass Bottles Without Using Plastic

By Carl Board • Tuesday April 19, 2022

Whether you're crafting artisanal cocktails or offering fine dining experiences with sparkling wines, packaging glass bottles is essential. If your business involves selling bottled products, you know how important it is to ensure they arrive safely at their destination. At Kite Packaging, we’re proud to be employee-owned, which means everyone here is invested in helping you achieve customer satisfaction. That means ensuring your products arrive intact and minimizing the risk of returns or refunds—ultimately driving growth for your business.

Environmental responsibility is at the heart of what we do. Almost all our product lines emphasize sustainability, and our new offerings are designed with eco-friendliness in mind. We want to inspire a national shift towards greener solutions for transporting and storing goods. With this commitment in mind, our bottle packaging range features plenty of plastic-free, recyclable, and biodegradable options to cater to today's environmentally conscious consumers.

1) Best Value for Money: Corrugated Sleeving


These straightforward yet highly effective paper sleeves are completely plastic-free and fully recyclable. They’re incredibly versatile, capable of protecting a wide range of products. Recently, we've introduced a smaller size to the range, allowing even more items to be packaged securely and sustainably.

Made from durable 600gsm material, these sleeves are easy to expand, fitting snugly around bottles ranging from 65mm to 100mm in diameter. This ensures that each bottle is tightly wrapped, offering excellent protection against impacts during transit. When purchased in bulk, these sleeves become extremely cost-effective. Additionally, by bundling them with our corrugated bottle sleeves and boxes, you can save up to 10% off the price. These outer boxes come in both brown and white colors and fit perfectly with our 300 x 75mm corrugated sleeves, minimizing internal movement.

2) Best for Protective Strength: Flexi-Hex Sleeves


For those who sell high-value or heavy bottles, we recommend our premium Flexi-Hex sleeves. These feature a robust layer of expandable hexagonal cells, which provide unmatched protection. The hexagon shape is inherently strong, effectively shielding bottles from knocks and bumps during transport. This honeycomb design mirrors the structure of our best-selling Hivewrap and Hivefill products, which offer eco-friendly alternatives to bubble wrap and polystyrene chips.

The sleeves arrive flat but can expand to widths between 20mm and 250mm, adapting seamlessly to various bottle diameters. Discounts are available when purchasing bundled with oblong outer boxes or pinch-top containers.

3) Best for In-Person Purchases: Wine Bottle Bags & Gift Packaging


Glass bottles often symbolize celebrations and special occasions. If your bottles are being purchased directly from a store rather than shipped, our wine bottle bags are an ideal choice. Available in white or brown, these bags are made from 90% recycled material and boast a sturdy 110gsm paper with reinforced bases. Designed to comfortably carry the weight of glass bottles, they add a touch of elegance to your sales process.

Enhance your presentation further by wrapping purchases in colored tissue paper, secured with a small piece of packaging tape. Our rolls allow for customizable lengths, and the paper is 100% recyclable, biodegradable, and certified by the Forest Stewardship Council (FSC).

4) Best for Shipping Multiple Bottles: Bottle Boxes with Cardboard Dividers


If your business frequently ships multiple bottles, whether to customers or retailers, it’s crucial to ensure they arrive undamaged. Kite offers universal dividers and boxes equipped with pre-installed cardboard partitions. These partitions have perforations every six inches, allowing you to customize them for specific products. Corrugated dividers are widely used for packaging candles, plant pots, and similar items, as well as bottles of uniform size. By preventing collisions between objects, these dividers not only protect your products but also create a tidy storage system.

For a ready-to-use solution, check out our wine bottle boxes with cardboard dividers. These are specially designed to transport and store 70cl and 75cl bottles, available in 6-bottle and 12-bottle cartons.

If you're extra cautious about shipping heavy or valuable bottles, you can add cushioning void fill to surround each bottle within the partitioned sections. Of course, our sleeving options can be combined creatively with other packaging products, especially when shipping multiple items together. In such cases, Kite provides a wide selection of reliable cardboard box sizes and void fill options to prevent movement inside the carton, reducing the risk of damage.

As the leading UK online packaging distributor, we consider ourselves experts in e-commerce packaging.
