Custom 4 Pack Bottle Carrier
Four bottles is a lot of weight hanging from a folded handle. Glass concentrates that load, the bottles knock against each other with every step, and the whole thing gets carried by one hand across a parking lot. Craft breweries discovered these problems the hard way. We produce a lot of 4 pack bottle carrier work at ZEE Packaging and the handle is where everything starts.
Weight Hangs From One Point
A 4 pack bottle carrier concentrates a real load.
- Four glass bottles weigh more than most people account for
- All of that hangs from a single handle area
- An unreinforced handle tears on the first carry
- The base carries the load when the carrier is set down
- Corners take impact when it gets put down carelessly
- Send us the filled weight rather than only dimensions
Most 4 pack bottle carrier failures we get asked to fix are a torn handle or a split base.
Glass Against Glass
Dividers are not optional here.
- Bottles knock together with every step taken
- A chipped neck can crack under pressure later
- Full height dividers between every bottle
- Neck clearance matters as much as body separation
- A snug cell stops rattling, which customers notice
- Condensation from chilled bottles softens uncoated board
- Basket style with a center handle the classic 4 pack bottle carrier
- Fully enclosed carton with a die cut handle more protection
- Open top carrier bottles visible, lowest cost
- With a printed wrap around full color branding
- Tall bottle version for 500ml and larger formats
- Can carrier variant sized for 4 cans instead
Sizes We Print Regular
Every 4 pack bottle carrier is built to your bottle, though these run often:
- 5" x 5" x 9" for a standard 330ml bottle
- 5.5" x 5.5" x 10" for 500ml bottles
- 6" x 6" x 11" for tall or swing top bottles
- 5" x 5" x 6" for 4 cans
- 4.5" x 4.5" x 8" for slim bottles
- 6" x 6" x 9" for a wider bottle profile
Send us an actual bottle, since neck shape and shoulder profile both affect how it sits in a cell.
Board And Construction
- B flute corrugated as the baseline for four bottles
- Double wall where bottles are heavy or the carrier gets stacked
- Litho laminated corrugated for full color retail print
- Reinforced handle area, without exception
- Coated inner face against chilled condensation
- Full height dividers between all four cells
The handle cut is worth over specifying. It costs very little extra and it prevents the one failure customers actually experience.
Materials That Reduce Impact
- Recycled corrugated, standard across these grades
- FSC certified board, certificate available on request
- Soy based ink through the whole run
- Board replacing plastic rings and shrink wrap
- No lamination, so it recycles curbside
- Right sizing so no board is wasted per carrier
Plastic ring replacement is the biggest shift in this category, and a board carrier handles it while giving you a printable surface.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will the handle hold four bottles?
With reinforcement, yes. An unreinforced die cut handle tears almost immediately under that weight.
How much is a 4-pack bottle carrier?
Rough estimate is $0.45 to $1.20 per unit in plain corrugated, $0.80 to $2.00 with print and $1.40 to $3.20 for litho laminated at moderate quantity. Size moves it. Shipping is included in our price. This is estimate only, so ask our team for a exact quote.
Do we need dividers?
Absolutely. Glass knocking against glass causes chips, and a chipped neck can fail later under pressure.
Will condensation ruin it?
Uncoated board softens on chilled bottles. A coated inner face handles it without going limp.
Can it replace plastic rings?
Yes, and most breweries are switching. It performs better and gives you a surface to print on.
Does it ship flat?
Yes, and it folds up in a few seconds. Storage requirement stays minimal as a result.
Can you do a can version?
We do, sized for four cans. Cans are lighter, so the specification is usually a step down.
