Sustainable Packaging
Eco-Friendly Wine Bottle Packaging
Adding high-quality, sustainable wine packaging is a great way to show your product in the best light while bringing in new customers.
Why Use Sustainable Wine Packaging?
The adoption of eco-friendly wine packaging isn’t merely a trend; it’s a conscious choice towards a greener and more sustainable future. The benefits of sustainable packaging extend beyond environmental concerns; it caters to a growing consumer interest in responsible products.
According to recent surveys, 82% of customers said they are willing to pay more for a product if it uses sustainable packaging—and the sentiment is only growing. That number has grown by 4 points from 2022 and 8 points since 2021. And 71% of consumers said they’ve selected a product within the last six months based on sustainability concerns.
While inflation and the state of the economy have certainly affected consumer buying habits, certain demographic groups still consider sustainability to be a high priority. 90% of Gen Z consumers said they would pay more for sustainable packaging. Studies also show that urban consumers place a high value on the environmental impact of their purchasing decisions.
Using green wine packaging is not just a necessary choice for preserving our planet, it also makes great business sense. If you can demonstrate to your customers that your wine packaging uses sustainable materials that they can easily recycle, you’re making a great case to re-order your product over the competition.
Eco-Friendly Wine Packaging with VinPak
VinPak wine shippers are an ideal solution for companies looking to give their wine bottles a great presentation with recyclable packaging. They will keep your bottles safe and secure during shipping and allow your customers to feel confident that they’re making an environmentally sound choice.
VinPak trays are made with recyclable PET plastic, which is a strong and lightweight material that is safe for food and beverage packaging. PET plastic is an existing byproduct of natural gas and oil production that doesn’t require deforestation. It is optimal for sustainable wine packaging because it can be recycled and turned into another product continuously. In addition, VinPak trays take up approximately a third of the space as other wine packaging options, which creates more room on the truck for other freight during transportation to you. Therefore, VinPak not only aids in keeping waste out of landfills and the ecosystem, but it also lowers the overall carbon footprint of your wine packaging by saving on fuel.
Tamarack has 750 ml VinPak shippers available in 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 9, and 12-bottle formats. We also offer 375 ml shippers for 3, 6, 9, 12, and 24 bottles.
Recycling VinPak
PET plastics are indicated with a recycle number 1. Please help us by recycling VinPak trays and all other PET bottles and containers.
Local Recycling/Trash Pick Up
Most states accept PET plastic for recycle, but not all. You can easily look up your area or check with your community recycling and trash pick-up to find out if and where they accept PET.
Recycling Services
Independent recycling services (like Ridwell and Terracycle) are available in some areas. Along with PET plastics these services accept things like batteries, product bottles and other materials not always taken by local collection services.
VinPak Return Program
You and your customers can send their used VinPak trays back to Tamarack and we’ll take care of the recycling! Here’s how it works.
- Tamarack will accept and reimburse VinPak trays at $0.10 per lb. (3 trays is approx. 1lb). This will be accredited to your account or paid via check.
- Drop the used/returned VinPak trays off at Tamarack
- Or place the used/returned VinPak trays in a recycled box and ship them direct to Tamarack Industries, VinPak Return Program 1111 N. 20th Avenue Yakima, WA 98902
Please keep in mind that returning larger batches at a time helps keep the transportation footprint low. For more information, please contact us at

VinPak wine shippers are a cost-effective, sustainable wine packaging choice, and our staff would be happy to provide a quote for your business. They also help you save regarding the value of storage space, since their expert design allows them to stack efficiently to take up significantly less space than other types of wine packaging.
Easy to Use
VinPak thermoformed trays are also lightweight and make economic use of materials, which allows them to be easily separated and prepared for shipping. This allows your team to be more productive and helps keep labor costs low.
Promotional
Not only do VinPak trays prevent your labels from getting scuffed in transit, but they also create a clean and efficient way to package and present your wine to your customers. We offer the option of clear or black trays for our 750 ml wine shippers. The clear trays allow your customers to easily see the labels as soon as they open the box, while the black trays create a perfect backdrop that allows your labels to pop.
