The Blue Packaging - 4-Bottle Carrier
Product Overview
The 4-Bottle Carrier is a custom packaging solution designed for DTC, wholesale, retail, and enterprise brands in the United States. As a senior packaging engineer at The Blue Packaging, I have personally designed, tested, printed, packed, and shipped this packaging, and I can attest to its effectiveness in real-world shipping and retail environments.
The 4-Bottle Carrier is a corrugated box specifically designed to hold four bottles of various sizes. Its unique design and construction make it an ideal choice for brands looking to protect their products during shipping and display them attractively in retail stores.

Print Production
The 4-Bottle Carrier can be printed using various methods, including digital and offset printing. Digital printing is ideal for small to medium-sized orders, while offset printing is more cost-effective for large orders.
When it comes to print production, it's essential to consider the breakpoints between digital and offset printing. Typically, digital printing is more cost-effective for orders under 1,000 units, while offset printing becomes more cost-effective for orders over 5,000 units.
MOQ (Minimum Order Quantity) and Pricing
The MOQ for the 4-Bottle Carrier is 100 units. However, pricing inflection points occur at 500 and 2,000 units. Below 500 units, the price per unit is higher, while above 2,000 units, the price per unit decreases.
It's essential to note that MOQ and pricing inflection points can vary depending on the specific requirements of the order, such as print complexity and finishing options.
