When someone orders your wine online, their first impression won’t be the taste or even the bottle—it will be the box. Having the right wine bottle shipping materials will create a great first impression for your customers is an essential part of creating a memorable and quality experience that will have them coming back for more.
What Wine Shipping Supplies Do I Need?
Boxes & Inserts
Choosing the right wine shipping supplies will keep your bottles safe, secure, and presentable. You want packaging that is made with strong, high-quality materials to protect against any potential damage during transit.
VinPak offers durable, specially designed wine bottle shipping boxes and inserts that provide the perfect fit for your bottles. Our inserts paired with their accommodating boxes will securely hold each bottle in place to minimize movement and prevent your wine bottles from clinking together and your labels from getting scuffed.
Packaging Tape
Once your wine bottles have been placed inside your boxes, you’ll need high-quality tape to ensure a tight seal and prevent them from breaking open during transit. We recommend using high-quality 2” or 3” packaging tape to seal them, as well as a reliable tape dispenser. We have both available for purchase alongside our VinPak wine shippers.
Shipping Labels
Your label should be clear and legible while including all the necessary information, such as the sender’s address and any special handling instructions. VinPak’s wine shipping boxes have “FRAGILE” pre-printed on the box, and also have space for clear and visible additional necessary labeling.
Custom Packaging
For a professional touch, consider customizing your wine shipping materials with your logo or branding. This not only adds a personalized touch but also helps promote your brand. Tamarack offers custom VinPak shippers and packaging tape, as well as gift boxes, bags, carriers, totes, and tape.

VinPak’s wine bottle shipping materials are designed with the specific needs of wine shippers in mind. Not only do they offer extreme time and space savings at your facility, superior protection, and an ideal presentation of your bottles, but they are also 100% recyclable.
How to Package Wine Bottles for Shipping with VinPak
We’ve created a quick guide on how to secure your VinPak wine shippers, but feel free to also refer to our flyer and instructional video.
1. Prepare the Box
Start by closing the flaps at the bottom of the box and securely taping it shut. The tape should cover the main seam down the middle of the box and both ends, forming an “H” shape on the bottom of the box.
2. Insert the First Layer
Place the first insert into the box with the recycle code facing up and the “T-shaped” pressure points facing down. Now, carefully place your first bottles of wine into the box, fitting them to the mold created by the insert.
3. Add the Second Insert
Place the next insert over the top of the bottles, this time with the recycle code facing down and the “T-shaped” pressure points facing up. This creates a protective buffer above the bottles to prevent damage during shipping.
4. Continue Layering
For larger packages with multiple levels, repeat the process with additional inserts. The recycle codes should be aligned and the “T-shaped” pressure points should be aligned between every other layer. Continue alternating layers of bottles and inserts until your package is complete.
5. Seal the Box
Once the box is filled, tape the top closed in the same “H” shape as the bottom. Remember, VinPak inserts must be used with their respective Tamarack boxes to ensure they are accepted for shipping.
