Premium Packaging for Whisky, Gin & Spirits
When the product inside is premium, the packaging should reflect it.
Custom printed cardboard bottle tubes are particularly popular for whisky, gin, rum, vodka, brandy and other spirits, providing a substantial outer package that adds to the overall presentation of the bottle.
The cylindrical shape naturally complements a bottle while providing plenty of printable surface area for branding, product information, illustrations and storytelling.
From understated luxury packaging with subtle foil detailing to bold, colourful designs intended to stand out behind a bar or on a retail shelf, every element can be customised around your brand.
Made to Fit Your Bottle
Bottles come in a huge variety of shapes and sizes, so your packaging shouldn’t be limited to a handful of standard dimensions.
Our cardboard bottle tubes can be manufactured to suit the dimensions of your individual bottle, including sufficient height for the neck, closure and cork where required.
For additional protection, internal fitments can also be incorporated into the packaging to help hold the bottle securely in position.
Whether you’re packaging a traditional whisky bottle, tall gin bottle, wine bottle or something completely bespoke, we can advise on a suitable diameter, height and construction.
Choose the Right Style of Bottle Tube
Different products and brands call for different styles of packaging, which is why we offer several cylinder constructions for bottle packaging.
Butt jointed tubes provide a clean, premium appearance with the opportunity to customise the exposed internal spigot.
Telescopic tubes feature a separate lid and base, creating a substantial two-piece presentation box with an enjoyable lift-off opening.
Metal lid tubes combine rigid cardboard with a metal lid for a distinctive finish particularly well suited to spirits and premium retail products.
Whichever style you choose, your tube can be customised with your artwork, colours and finishing options to create packaging unique to your product.
