Short answer
Ship bottles in a tall, narrow corrugated box that fits closely, like a 3.3×3.3×10 inch die-cut box or a 7-ply 8×4×4 or 12×4×4 inch box. Seal the cap with tape, put the bottle in a zip bag in case of leaks, wrap it in bubble wrap, and fill any gaps so it can’t move.

See all in category →Oils, ghee, honey, perfumes, cosmetics and sauces all ship in bottles. Bottles break and leak, and a single leak can ruin other parcels too. The right box and a few extra steps prevent most problems.
Picking the box
- Tall and narrow. The box should fit the bottle's shape with a little room for cushioning.
- Strong board. 5 or 7 ply for glass. Die-cut boxes hold their shape well.
- The right size. Too big and the bottle moves; too small and there's no room for bubble wrap.
| Box (inch) | Fits |
|---|---|
| 3.3 × 3.3 × 10 die-cut | Slim bottles, candles, glass jars |
| 8 × 4 × 4, 7-ply | Short bottles, jars |
| 12 × 4 × 4, 7-ply | Tall bottles |
Packing a bottle
- Tighten the cap and seal it with a strip of tape.
- Put the bottle in a zip-lock or polybag in case it leaks.
- Wrap it in two layers of bubble wrap.
- Place it in the box and fill gaps at the top and bottom.
- Shake the box. Nothing should move.
- Seal with tape and add a fragile sticker.
