A format suited to your bottles

The hexagonal shape gives bottles a six-sided presentation. Custom dimensions and designs can be assessed against the container. Presentation and transport requirements should be considered separately: shape alone does not determine protection.



Frequently asked questions

What changes with a six-sided presentation?

The box provides a hexagonal outline and panels for arranging artwork. Plan logo orientation and check the space it will occupy at the point of sale.

Can it be adapted to wine, spirits or oil?

These bottle types can be assessed, along with craft beer. Check each actual container: diameter, height, shoulders and closure, without assuming one box fits all.

How does a hexagonal box close?

Confirm the specific closure for the chosen design. Check assembly with the bottle and planned protective materials before approving production.

Is a hexagonal shape enough for bottle shipping?

The shape gives a distinctive presentation but does not determine shipping strength on its own. Confirm internal retention and any need for protective materials or an outer shipping box.

Which measurements should I send?

Send the height and maximum diameter of each bottle, including its cap, and the number per package. If supplying box measurements, specify whether they are internal or external.

Can I customise the printing?

Ask about options for the chosen format. Send artwork, panels to be printed and quantity so feasibility can be confirmed.

What are the price, minimum order and lead time?

We manufacture custom boxes for businesses, with minimum orders depending on size, format and project specifications. Special pricing is available for large quantities; request a proposal based on your business requirements and order volume. The usual lead time is 2 to 3 days after the project is approved.

How to choose this bottle packaging

Designing a six-sided presentation

The hexagonal format offers a distinctive presentation for wine, spirits, craft beer or bottled oil. Before developing artwork, check container fit and how the chosen design opens and closes.

  • Review the complete bottle profile, rather than volume alone.
  • Plan information orientation across panels and shelf space.
  • Confirm retention, closure and outer protection if the bottle will be shipped.

Customisation and quotations

Ask about dimensions, design and printing options for this format. Send your logo or artwork and identify the panels to be printed. For a quote, include packaging quantity, bottle dimensions, bottles per package, total weight, destination and preferred date. Material, closure and printing options are confirmed when the order is assessed.
