Wine Boxes

A bottle becomes a gift

A personalised wine box turns a good bottle into a proper present, and keeps it safe on the way there. Businesses use them for client gifts and Christmas thank-yous. Couples give them to parents and to the wedding party. Families use them to mark a big birthday, an anniversary or a new home, and some people fill one on a wedding day to open many years later.

Types of wine box

Box	Feel	Good for
Printed card or corrugated	Light and low-cost	Retail, corporate gifts in volume
Rigid gift box	Premium, with a magnetic or hinged lid	Corporate gifts
Engraved or printed wood	Traditional and long-lasting	Personal gifts, weddings, keepsakes
Slide-top or hinged wood	Feels like a real keepsake	Anniversaries, wedding gifts

Sizes vary, so check that a box will fit your bottle, especially in the case of magnums, champagne or unusually wide bottles. A standard box usually fits 75cl wine bottles, and champagne bottles are typically wider. Tell us what will go inside.

What to print or engrave

For a personal gift, include a name, a date and perhaps a short message or a family name. Engraved wood looks best with simple lettering, without fine details. For a business, a discreet logo and a simple message look more refined than a large promotional panel. Bold type is more legible on a wood grain, and a darker wood can reduce contrast, so check how it will look on your chosen box.

Corporate gifting

Plan early if you are giving these at Christmas, as many companies order at the same time. Keep the branding modest, because people are more likely to keep something that looks like a nice box. Check your clients' policies on gifts, as some organisations have strict limits, and consider non-alcoholic options for those who do not drink. A small printed card inside the box can carry your personal message.

Protecting the bottle

For a gift that will travel, add padding or fitted inserts so that the bottle does not move around. If you are shipping one, you will need to use a suitable courier and follow its rules on sending alcohol, and you may need age verification on delivery. We supply the box, not the wine, so your bottle remains your responsibility.

Ordering

Tell us the type of box, your wording or your logo, how many you want and the date. We will prepare a proof free of charge when we print the job, so you can check the spelling before it is engraved, as this cannot be undone. Personalised wooden boxes are usually made to order, so please allow time. Pair your gift with a custom bottle label for a complete present, or a canvas wine bag for something lighter.
