In short

Custom beverage carriers are printed paperboard or corrugated carriers with a handle and dividers that hold four, six or more bottles or cans. Box Sense makes them from 10 carriers, with production in 8–12 business days after proof approval. Shipping is free to any address in the USA.

About our beverage carriers

On a crowded cooler shelf, the carrier is the label customers see first. Craft breweries, kombucha and soda makers and cold-brew brands use printed carriers to group their drinks, protect the glass and tell the brand story on four large panels.

We make basket carriers, wraps and carry packs for standard bottles and cans, in board that stands up to cold and condensation, from 10 carriers.

What affects the price of beverage carriers

Every box is made to order, so each order is quoted individually. These are the things that move the price most, in order:

  1. Style. Basket carriers with dividers use more board than simple wraps.
  2. Board. Wet-strength carrier board costs more than standard paperboard.
  3. Print. Full-color print on all panels costs more than one or two colors.
  4. Quantity. The unit price falls steeply as quantity rises.

Send your size, quantity and artwork through the quick quote form for a firm price within 24 hours.

Cold and wet conditions

Carriers live in coolers and ice buckets. Wet-strength board and water-resistant coatings stop the handle and base from weakening when condensation forms. Tell us how the drinks are stored and we specify the board.
