Foam Wine Shippers vs. Cardboard Boxes

Have some good wine and need to ship or transport it?

There are many beautiful wines in the world and if you live in a place where there is a particularly tasty wine, you may want to send it to a far flung relative or friend. If so, we at Armstrong Brands are here to help you make sure your wine bottles arrive safely and without damage.

Transporting bottles of wine in just a cardboard box is actually quite dangerous. The risk of the bottle breaking is very high, which would be a waste of course. In addition, the wine that spills out of the bottle may destroy other people's goods in shipment. And there is always the danger of someone opening the box and cutting themselves on a piece of glass. Hence, it is very important to make sure you send your bottles in specially designed wine shippers. Even if you are simply carrying your bottles, using cardboard is a risky business. It is all too easy for cardboard to get slight wet, thereby losing its strength and breaking, perhaps while you are carrying bottles. Again, besides the fact that this would mean wasting a lovely bottle of wine, it means you are placing yourself and others around you at risk of injury.

How Do Foam Wine Shippers Work?

Wine shippers can be used whether you want to send your bottles to the other side of the planet, or whether you simply want to carry a few bottles to your neighbor's party. A wine shipper is made out of EPS (Expanded Polystyrene) foam. This means the bottles are properly cradled when inside the shipper. The outside of the shipper is made from corrugated carton. This adds strength and durability. EPS foam is lightweight and very strong, so that fragile products are fully protected at all times. Besides this, at Armstrong Brands, we are conscious of the environment and make sure that all our materials are fully recyclable. We use ethical processes in our production and take part in large scale recycling programs.

At Armstrong Brands, we offer 1, 2, 3 bottle shippers. It is possible to expand these into packs carrying six or twelve bottles. For any of these these combinations, we provide corrugated shipping cartons. Our wine shippers can accommodate bottles of all shapes and sizes, including champagne bottles and magnum bottles. We also pride ourselves on our fantastic prices and superior customer service. Besides wine shippers, we can also help you with other shipping needs, including foam coolers and pallets, corner pads, protective packaging, OEM applications, material handling, ICF concrete forms and interior packaging. Whatever your needs are, whatever you want to send and wherever you want to send it to, we will make sure that your items will arrive safely and in one piece every time.
