How We Work with Drinks Businesses
Materials available for Drink Packaging:
E-Commerce or FBB Box with Cardboard Fitments – can be made in the same material as the base packaging. E-Commerce corrugated board would be best suited to heavier items whilst Folding Box Board would be ideal for lighter teabag and coffee packaging.
Mailer Bags / Envelopes – durable and created from 100% recyclable Kraft material. With recyclable Kraft Rippatapes now available, this is a great choice for coffee and tea brands focused on substantiality. Usually A4 or A5 size, so ideal for fitting through letterboxes.
Product Cartons – created from a lightweight, flexible folding box board (FBB), ideal for retail or coffee shop product packaging as they are a cost-effective solution. There are a wide range of coated, uncoated and textured boards to choose from and also can be digitally or litho-printed depending on the required quantity. These cartons are delivered flat-packed so take up minimum storage space
Rigid Presentation Boxes with Foam Fitments – thicker than folding cartons, these boxes are made from rigid grey board and offer a luxurious solution for gifting that is likely to be re-purposed after initial use. The board can be wrapped in coated or uncoated papers, printed with your design and embellished with various finishing effects (see below).
Corrugated Handle Box – a different style of E-Commerce box, usually produced in a strong E-flute material for durability.
Advent Calendars – available in an FBB or rigid board, advent calendars can be adapted to suit most beverage types.

FAQ
What are the most suitable drink packaging options?
This depends on the primary packaging. If you are selling alcoholic drinks in glass bottles, then your packaging needs to be durable and protective to ensure they arrive safely.
Do you offer packaging samples or prototypes before finalising the design?
We will always provide plain samples so that you can check the size and style of the drinks’ packaging. Once this is approved, we will provide PDF proofs and either digitally printed samples or pre-production wet proofs so you can check the colour and design of your packaging.
Do you offer international shipping for packaging products?
Yes. Please let us know the delivery address when you send your initial brief.
Can you help us with the design?
We do not provide artwork design services; we will always request print-ready artwork files from our clients once we have supplied the cutter guides for the packaging.
