Pulp Bottle Packs

Pulp Wine Bottle Packaging for Safe Bottle Shipping

Shipping glass bottles through a courier network requires packaging designed for the job. L-PAC’s moulded pulp wine bottle packs provide a protective packaging system for businesses sending wine, spirits and other bottled drinks through ecommerce and courier delivery networks. The moulded fibre fitments surround and separate individual bottles, helping to absorb the shocks and vibrations experienced during handling and transportation. Choose from packaging for 1, 3, 6 or 12 bottles, with options available as pulp fitments on their own or as convenient complete bottle packaging sets including the pulp fitment and matching cardboard outer box. Whether you’re sending one bottle of wine as a gift or dispatching cases of wine and spirits to customers, there’s an option to suit.

Moulded Fibre Protection for Glass Bottles

Glass bottles present a particular challenge when shipping. They’re relatively heavy, fragile and capable of damaging other contents if one bottle makes contact with another during transit. A broken bottle can also mean lost product, leakage, damaged parcels and an unhappy customer. Our moulded pulp bottle packaging is specifically designed for the transportation of fragile bottled drinks. The fibrous structure of moulded fibre pulp helps absorb shocks and vibrations during transport, while the shaped fitments hold and separate the bottles within the package.

Wine Bottle Packaging

Wine is one of the most obvious applications for moulded pulp bottle packaging. From independent wine merchants and vineyards to ecommerce retailers and subscription businesses, selling wine online means finding a practical way to get fragile glass bottles from your premises to your customer. Our pulp packaging provides options for everything from a single bottle of wine through to 3, 6 and 12 bottle wine boxes. That means you can select packaging according to the quantity your customer orders rather than relying on one pack format for every shipment.

Packaging for Gin, Whisky, Vodka & Spirits

Despite the name, these aren’t just wine bottle packs. The range is suitable for a wide variety of bottled drinks, with compatible products potentially including gin, whisky, vodka, rum, tequila, brandy and liqueurs. The 1, 3 and 6 bottle moulds are suitable for bottles up to 100cl / 1 litre, covering many commonly used drinks bottle formats. Bottle shapes and dimensions vary considerably, however, so suitability should always be checked for your particular bottle before committing to larger quantities.

Champagne & Prosecco Bottle Packaging

The pulp bottle range can also accommodate compatible Champagne and Prosecco bottles. This makes the packaging particularly useful for gift orders, celebrations, corporate gifting and Christmas drinks shipments. Because sparkling wine bottles can differ in shape and diameter from standard wine bottles, we recommend checking compatibility with your specific bottle format before ordering in volume.

An Alternative to Polystyrene Bottle Packaging

Traditional protective bottle packaging can involve polystyrene, foam, plastic air packaging or significant quantities of loose void fill. Moulded pulp takes a different approach. The packaging material itself is formed into a structure designed to fit around the bottles. This combines cushioning with separation and positioning without relying on loose plastic protective materials. For businesses looking for plastic-free bottle packaging, recyclable wine bottle packaging or sustainable bottle shipping boxes, moulded fibre is an option well worth considering.

What are pulp wine bottle packs?
Pulp wine bottle packs are moulded fibre protective packaging components designed to hold and cushion glass bottles during transport. The shaped pulp sections position bottles within the outer carton and help protect them from shocks and vibrations encountered during handling and delivery.

What are the bottle packs made from?
The moulded fibre is manufactured from recycled waste paper and cardboard.
The manufacturer describes the material as recyclable, biodegradable and compostable.

How does moulded pulp bottle packaging protect glass during UK courier transit?
Moulded pulp bottle packaging utilises moulded recycled fibres engineered to mirror bottle contours. This creates a cushion that absorbs drop impacts and road vibration, isolating glass bottles from outer box impacts during UK shipping.

Are L-PAC pulp bottle fitments fully recyclable through UK household recycling?
Yes. Unlike polystyrene (EPS) packaging, L-PAC pulp bottle fitments are 100% plastic-free and fully biodegradable. They can be recycled directly through standard UK household kerbside paper and cardboard collection schemes.

What bottle dimensions fit the 1, 3, 6, and 12 bottle pulp packaging fitments?
Our pulp bottle packs are designed to fit most standard 75cl wine, champagne, and spirit bottles up to 90mm in diameter and 330mm in height.

Can UK wineries and online off-licences buy pulp bottle packaging in wholesale quantities?
Absolutely. L-PAC supplies trade clients, online off-licences, independent distilleries, and subscription services across the UK with wholesale pulp fitments and matching double-wall outer shipping boxes.

Why choose pulp bottle packaging over traditional polystyrene (EPS) inserts?
Moulded pulp delivers equivalent shock absorption without environmental harm. It reduces warehouse storage footprints by up to 70% due to its nestable design and aligns with UK sustainability standards for eco-friendly packaging.

Can I buy the bottle packaging with a cardboard box?
Yes. We also offer complete bottle box and pulp fitment sets in 1, 3, 6 and 12 bottle configurations. This gives you both the protective moulded pulp components and the corresponding outer cardboard box.

Are the bottle packs recyclable?

Yes. The moulded fibre pulp packaging is described by the manufacturer as recyclable. Recycling facilities and collection requirements can vary, so the end user should follow their local recycling guidance.

Are the pulp bottle packs compostable?
The manufacturer describes the moulded fibre pulp as compostable. If compostability against a particular certification or under specific commercial/home composting conditions is essential to your requirements, please contact us for the relevant technical information before making that claim within your own packaging communications.

Are the bottle packs biodegradable?
Yes. The manufacturer specifies the moulded pulp bottle packaging as biodegradable.

Are these plastic-free bottle packs?
The protective moulded fibre components provide an alternative to plastic, foam and polystyrene protective packaging. If you require confirmation that a particular complete L-PAC box and fitment set contains no plastic components whatsoever, please contact us for confirmation of the complete pack specification.
