Bottle Boxes

What is DISC™ test?

Wine bottles need well-designed and protective packaging to prevent damage in transit. Our cardboard wine box will ensure your customers receive their favourite wine safely.

DISCS ™ is the DS Smith testing process that determines whether packs can survive the bumps and scrapes of the average e-commerce supply chain. Online orders sometimes need to survive up to 50 touchpoints, so choosing the right packaging is an important decision, and our cardboard wine boxes from 2 to 12 bottles have passed our DISC ™ Intermediate Test.

If you are interested in more information about the testing process of our cardboard wine boxes, please contact our Customer Service team. Get in touch with us by phone at 01908 088888 or e-mail at shop@dssmith.com, and we’ll send you the information.

How are the inner bottle protectors assembled?

Our boxes to send bottles of wine, beer or cider have internal cardboard separators to prevent the bottles from breaking during transport. Preventing them from touching and clashing, since direct blows and friction between bottles is one of the main causes of breakage.

There are very few options on the market that are made of 100% cardboard and internal dividers are often difficult to assemble. , Consequently, our global team of packaging designers have worked together on the development and production of our cardboard wine bottle boxes, saving handling time and costs.
