Beer Box Shop: ready-to-ship packaging for breweries and drinks retailers

Beer Box Shop is a Staffordshire-based supplier of packaging built around beer bottles and cans. Its catalogue covers gift boxes, trade and transit boxes, shipping cartons and a supporting range of packing materials. The company states that providing quality, cost-effective and accessible gift packaging sits at the centre of its activity, and that its range is designed specifically for breweries.

The business began trading five years before the site text was written, with the aim of assembling a broad range of industry-specific packaging that could be dispatched straight from stock. According to its own account, it identified a recurring problem for the small breweries then opening regularly: the tooling costs and large minimum order quantities involved in commissioning custom packaging.

A model built on shared tooling and smaller order volumes

To avoid passing those barriers on to customers, Beer Box Shop produced its own tools and manufactured boxes in large volumes, then broke those runs down into smaller quantities for individual buyers. The company describes this approach as the basis of its ready-to-ship range and says it has shaped the business around customer needs, serving both small and large operations.

From that starting point it claims to have assembled what it presents as the largest selection of gift, trade and shipping beer packaging in the UK. The range is offered on a same-day shipping and next-day delivery basis, which the company links to its ability to respond to demand.

Gift boxes and carriers

The gift side of the catalogue is organised by container format and capacity. Bottle boxes are listed for 330ml, 500ml and 750ml bottles, including wine and 750ml gift boxes, while can boxes cover 330ml, 440ml, 500ml and 250ml slim cans. There are also gift boxes that combine bottles or cans with a glass, in configurations such as one bottle plus glass, two bottles plus glass, two cans plus glass and four cans with a Mencia Rocks or Harmony glass.

Other formats include American-style carriers for 330ml and 500ml, can fridge packs, 5-litre mini keg boxes and glassware boxes. Multi-packs range from three and four can self-seal gift boxes to six-bottle and four-bottle gift boxes in the main bottle sizes.

Shipping and trade boxes

For dispatch and wholesale use, the shop lists double-wall and single-wall shipping boxes sized for 6, 8, 12 and 24 units of 250ml slim cans, 330ml and 440ml cans, and 330ml, 500ml and tall 500ml bottles. Postal packs are available for six 330ml or 440ml cans, and there are outer shipping boxes for 5-litre mini kegs. Trade boxes follow a similar logic in single and double wall versions, covering 12 and 24 counts across the main can and bottle formats.

Packing essentials and bespoke print

Alongside boxes, the catalogue includes shredded cardboard packing material sold in 7kg packs, pallet wrap, general packing boxes, 3M buff and clear parcel tapes, tape dispensers including a Rapesco 960 gun, and warning tapes. Labels, stamps and tags cover fragile, glass-with-care and this-way-up warnings sold by the roll, gift tags, and custom-made rubber stamps and ink pads, including a bespoke logo stamp.

A separate bespoke print service covers printed boxes, with a gallery of past work and a quote request route. The company also invites customers to request a sample. It states that all of its packaging is produced using sustainably sourced board.
