FAQ – Packing bottles correctly
The right packaging protects bottles from external influences such as light, air and vibrations, which could affect the quality of the contents.
There are several options for packaging bottles that are characterized by stability and impact resistance – including cardboard, plastic, and wood. The choice of the appropriate material depends mainly on the weight of the bottles, the budget and the desired level of protection.
Since cardboard is a particularly sustainable and cost-effective material , we generally recommend outer packaging made of corrugated cardboard. In addition, packaging chips or special inserts made of cardboard are a sustainable alternative to polystyrene and bubble wrap as padding material.
To pack bottles safely, it is crucial to use stable and impact-resistant packaging . A good choice for this is, for example, corrugated cardboard. Consider the size of the packaging so that the bottles don't fit too tightly. A sufficiently large cardboard box allows the bottles to be positioned stably.
To provide additional protection, the bottles should be carefully wrapped with padding material or fixed with special inserts . Also make sure that the packaging is securely sealed with adhesive tape. To alert transporters to the fragility of the contents, clearly mark the packaging as fragile.
There are no legal requirements for private individuals who want to wrap bottles as gifts.
Companies that want to pack their bottles for transport, on the other hand, must take into account the Food Act (LMBG), the Packaging Act (VerpackG) and individual transport regulations. In addition, companies that pack goods must have a LUCID number .
Today, technological possibilities allow for a high degree of personalization. This also applies to packaging. For example, companies personalize bottle packaging with logos or images to promote brand loyalty. In addition, intelligent technologies are leading to greater automation and efficiency in the packaging of bottles.
