Single-Bottle Spirits Gift Box

Bottle Variation and Sample-Based Sizing

Whisky, brandy and tequila bottles vary far more than wine bottles. Two bottles both marked 750 ml can differ in height, shoulder profile, maximum diameter and filled weight, so an insert cut for one bottle often will not accept the next batch. We size inserts from physical bottle samples, not from stated capacity. Three measurements drive the tooling: overall height, maximum diameter, and filled weight.

Four-Point Hold and Movement Checks

The insert holds the bottle at four points, with no unsupported area at the neck or shoulder. Our check is simple: load the bottle, shake for ten seconds, no movement; tilt to 45 degrees, no slide; invert, no release. For corporate gifting and brand personalisation, this fit is what protects the unboxing moment. A bottle that shifts inside the box reads as a packaging failure before the recipient sees the label.

Board and Facing Paper Specs

Spirits boxes use 1200 g greyboard as a minimum. We recommend 1400 g for spirits, with 157 g or more specialty or coated facing paper. We do not use recycled greyboard, which collapses, or high-moisture stock, which warps. Dark facing colours like black, deep blue and burgundy carry hot-foil best for brand marks and gifting presentation.

Structures for Premium Gifting

Rigid lid-and-base boxes suit premium gifting and collecting. The slow opening is the strongest ceremony, though the box is bulkier. Magnetic flip-top boxes work for shelf display and repeated opening; magnet position precision matters so the lid sits flush. Foldable rigid boxes ship flat to save warehouse space and still open like a rigid box.

Pre-Shipment Checks We Run

Before packing, we run in-house checks with the bottle loaded. A 1.2 m six-face drop test checks impact from every angle. Stacking simulation applies a top load of 40 kg or more for 24 hours. Truck and sea vibration simulation looks for any internal movement. If the bottle moves, we rework the insert.
