Anatomy of a wine carton
What makes a wine carton work — from the first dieline to the box on the shelf.
A good wine carton starts long before the press. It starts with simple questions: bottle height, neck diameter, how the customer holds the box on the shelf, and how it palletizes for shipping.
Every one of those decisions shapes the structure, the amount of board used and the final price — which is why structural design is the heart of a successful wine carton.
A wine package is judged the moment it's lifted off the shelf — it has to feel stable, clean and secure.

01. From bottle to dieline
We measure the bottle, add safety clearances and build a first dieline. This is where the closure type, wall strength and whether an inner drawer or insert is needed get decided. A precise dieline saves expensive corrections down the line.
02. Stock, print and finish
Once the structure is locked we pick board at the right weight, tune the print to the label's palette and add a focused finish — foil on the logo or a lacquer that lifts the winery name. The right balance of structure and finish is what makes a carton feel expensive.
