Single Bottle Packaging Kits

Our single bottle packaging kits are built to protect glass bottles in transit, keeping them secure, cushioned, and professionally presented. Each kit combines a protective inner sleeve (corrugated, Flexi-Hex, or inflatable air column packaging) with a perfectly sized outer postal box, giving you a ready-to-pack solution for wine, spirits, champagne, oils, and other fragile bottles.

All kits are lightweight, easy to assemble, and designed for e-commerce dispatch. They help minimise breakages, reduce void fill, and ensure your parcels stay within Royal Mail’s Pricing in Proportion (PiP) limits - with these single bottle kits falling into the Small Parcel category once packed.
