Beverages packaging
Learn more about beverages packaging
Beverage packaging that keeps your bottles and cans on-brand from pallet to shelf
In beverages, packaging has to work in multiple worlds at once: cold chain, transport, warehouse, retail shelf and the customer’s hand. At PrintPacking, we design and produce cardboard beverage packaging – wraps, carriers and multipacks – that protect bottles and cans, optimise pallet space and show your brand clearly in fridges and on shelves.
Cardboard grades for cold, wet and heavy packs
Beverage packs are heavy, and they often live in cold, humid environments. We use carefully selected cardboard grades that are suitable for:
Multi-packs of cans (4, 6, 8, 12, 24)
Bottle carriers with handles
Wraps and trays for transport and display
Depending on your product and chain, we can combine:
Board thickness that carries full packs of glass or PET bottles
Moisture-resistant or coated surfaces for chilled cabinets and condensation
Tear resistance that prevents handles and openings from ripping under weight
The result: beverage packaging that stays intact from pallet to fridge.
Structural design – carriers, wraps and shelf-ready solutions
The structure of beverage packaging has to be strong, ergonomic and efficient. We engineer:
Top and wrap-around multipacks for cans and bottles
Bottle carriers with handles (2–6 bottles) for easy grabbing
Trays and lids that can act as both transport and shelf-ready packaging
Perforations that allow front panels to be removed cleanly in-store
We design with:
Pallet patterns and stacking height in mind,
Case-packing machinery and automation where needed,
Retail requirements, for example for supermarket chains or HoReCa.
Printing and finishes that stand out in the beverage aisle
Beverage shelves are crowded and often seen from a distance. Our offset printing and finishing options help your brand stand out:
High-contrast colour reproduction for strong brand blocks and logos
Sharp rendering of small legal information, barcodes and recycling marks
Matte, gloss or combination varnish/lamination for specific visual effects
We can create clean, minimal designs or bold, full-bleed graphics depending on your brand — but always with a focus on readability and consistency across all pack sizes.

Designed for chilled cabinets, warehouses and events
Beverages move through very different environments:
Cold rooms and fridges – where condensation and low temperature affect packaging
Warehouses and pallets – where packs are stacked high and moved by forklift
Events and on-trade – where carriers and packs are handled quickly and repeatedly
We adjust:
Openings and die-cuts so labels and key visuals stay visible in fridges
Handle and grip areas so packs are safe and comfortable to carry
Board and coatings so packs perform in cold, humid environments.
Beverage packaging for beer, soft drinks, water and more
We produce cardboard beverage packaging for:
Beer and cider – can multipacks, bottle carriers, trays
Soft drinks and energy drinks – branded wraps and shelf-ready packs
Juices and flavoured waters – multipacks for bottles and Tetra-style cartons
RTD cocktails and mixers – premium-looking packs for smaller series
Each category gets an appropriate combination of board, structure and printing, tailored to your route to market.
