Key Features

Dual-Fit for 750 ml & 500 ml Wine Bottles

The 85×85 mm cells and 310 mm internal height are engineered to accommodate both standard 750 ml wine bottles (Bordeaux, Burgundy) and shorter 500 ml formats. A single crate runs on two packaging lines without any insert or changeover.

Slim Pallet Footprint for Maximum Container Fill

The 386×293 mm external dimensions make this one of the most space-efficient wine crates available. You can load 839 pieces in a 20GP and 1,980 pieces in a 40HQ, driving down the per‑bottle freight cost significantly.

Deep Sidewall Protection for Delicate Glass

With an internal depth of 310 mm, the crate walls shield each bottle well above its centre of gravity. This prevents tilting, label scuffing, and neck‑to‑neck contact, even on fast conveyors or during courier delivery.

Lightweight at Just 1.34 kg

The low tare weight eases manual lifting for cellar‑door staff and off‑trade merchandisers. Despite being light, the crates nest securely and stack with stability, reducing workplace strain without sacrificing strength.

Smooth Internal Compartments for Label Preservation

Bottle cells are completely smooth with no internal ribs or ejector pin marks. Combined with the 85 mm cell width, bottles slide in without rubbing, keeping premium paper labels, foil capsules, and screen‑printed decorations flawless.

FAQ

Q: Which wine bottle shapes fit into the 85×85 mm cells?

A: The cell accepts most traditional 750 ml claret, Burgundy, and hock bottles with a base diameter up to 83 mm, as well as 500 ml wine and dessert wine bottles. The 310 mm internal height is tall enough to stabilise a 750 ml bottle above its centre of gravity.

Q: Can the crate be used for sparkling wine or heavier punted bottles?

A: Yes, as long as the bottle base diameter does not exceed 83 mm and the total weight of a full crate remains within the safe stacking load. If you use particularly heavy sparkling wine bottles, we can provide a reinforced version with thicker walls on request.

Q: How efficiently do the crates nest when empty?

A: The tapered design (352×258 mm internal base vs. 386×293 mm external top) allows deep nesting, reducing empty‑crate stack height by approximately 65 %. This saves substantial warehouse space and cuts return‑fleet transport costs.

Q: Can I have the crates custom‑branded for my winery?

A: Absolutely. We offer embossed logos via engraved mould inserts, hot‑stamp foil, or silk‑screen printing. Custom RAL colour matching is also available. The typical minimum order quantity for customised crates is 2,000 pieces.

Q: Are the crates compatible with automated filling and palletising lines?

A: Yes. The precise 386×293 mm footprint and clean, flash‑free base are designed to run without interruption on industry‑standard depalletisers, conveyor systems, and palletisers. We can supply pre‑production samples for a line trial to confirm full compatibility with your specific equipment.
