Getting the Bottle Fit Right
The #1 rule of wine box packaging: measure the bottle, not the box. Every bottle shape is different — Bordeaux, Burgundy, champagne, and spirit bottles all have different heights and widths.
Standard bottle dimensions:
- Bordeaux bottle: ~750ml, ~7cm diameter × 30cm height
- Burgundy bottle: ~750ml, ~8.5cm diameter × 29cm height
- Champagne bottle: ~750ml, ~8.5cm diameter × 31cm height
- Spirit bottle: ~700ml, ~8cm diameter × 23cm height
Send us your exact bottle measurements — we design the insert to fit.

Corporate Gifting
Corporate wine gifts need to look professional and hold up in shipping:
- Colors: Navy, black, burgundy — professional and premium
- Branding: Foil-stamped company logo on the front
- Handle: Add a leather handle for easy carrying
- Card: Include a branded greeting card
- Protection: Double-wall or foam insert for safe shipping
Shipping Protection
Wine bottles are heavy glass. To prevent breakage:
- Use a snug-fitting insert — no movement
- Add corner protectors if shipping in outer cartons
- Use double-wall board for international shipping
- Fill empty space with crinkle paper
Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Wrong bottle height — Measure from base to top of closure, not just the glass
- Loose fit — The bottle should not rattle in the insert
- Forgetting the neck — The insert must support the bottle neck too
- No handle on double boxes — Two bottles are heavy; always add a handle
- Not testing shipping — Do a drop test with a sample before bulk order
