Bottle packaging covers cardboard sleeving, Flexi-Hex sleeving and air cushions designed specifically to protect bottles and glasses in transit, keeping them upright, separated and cushioned from knocks. Parcelsend stocks bottle packaging in the UK for same-day despatch, alongside our shaped air packaging for bottles.
How to choose the right bottle packaging
The right option depends on the bottle's material, value and how many you're shipping together. Some methods suit single bottles best, while others are designed for multi-bottle cases.
Cardboard sleeving vs Flexi-Hex sleeving
Cardboard sleeving gives a rigid outer structure around each bottle, while flexible honeycomb-style Flexi-Hex sleeving expands to cushion the bottle's shape and absorb impact from any angle.
Adding air cushioning
Air cushions can be used alongside sleeving to fill any remaining void space in the outer box, stopping sleeved bottles shifting or knocking together during handling.

Frequently Asked Questions
What's the difference between cardboard and Flexi-Hex sleeving?
Cardboard sleeving gives a rigid outer structure around each bottle, while Flexi-Hex sleeving is a flexible honeycomb material that expands to cushion the bottle's shape from any angle.
Can I ship a case of bottles rather than a single bottle?
Yes, sleeving and dividers can be combined to keep multiple bottles separated and cushioned within the same outer box for case shipments.
Do I still need air cushioning if I use sleeving?
Adding air cushions around sleeved bottles helps fill any remaining void space in the box, stopping bottles shifting or knocking together during handling. See our air packaging for bottles range.
Is bottle packaging suitable for wine gifting?
Yes, sleeved bottle packaging keeps bottles secure and presentable, making it a practical choice for gifting as well as general despatch.
Is bottle packaging recyclable?
Cardboard sleeving is widely recyclable, and Flexi-Hex sleeving is typically recyclable with mixed paper/card streams; check local guidance to confirm.
What box should I use with bottle sleeving?
A snug-fitting, sturdy carton works best alongside sleeving; see our wider fragile packaging solutions range for suitable box options.
