Description
Overview

Sauce Bottle Boxes

Glass, sauce and a cap that has to stay shut — a leak takes the carton with it.

The bottle is heavy for its footprint and its contents stain permanently. Snug fit, a barrier-lined interior and a base that spreads load are what the format needs.

What We Make

The full kit of capabilities.

Fitted Bottle Cradles
Holds glass so it cannot chip at the neck or shoulder.
Multi-Pack Layouts
Divided cradles so bottles never contact each other.
Moulded Pulp for DTC
Shock absorption for parcels handled individually.
Shipper-Rated Outers
Where the carton is also the shipping box.
Recipe and Story Panels

Window Options
Shows sauce colour where that sells the product.
Gift Set Formats
Presentation multi-packs at a higher price point.
Honest Advice on Skipping It
If a label serves you better, we will say so rather than sell a carton.
Loose Bottles in a Plain Carton
Glass moves and chips at the neck. A carton without an insert protects less than you would expect.
Retail-Spec Inserts for DTC
Parcel journeys are far rougher than palletised retail distribution. The same bottle needs more protection when posted.

Sizing & dieline.

Every Sauce Bottle Boxes is cut to a dieline built around your product — not pulled off a shelf. Send us the length, width and height of the item (or the item itself) and we return a measured dieline, free, before you commit to anything.

How to measure
01
Measure the product

Length, width and height of the item itself, at its widest points — not the box you happen to use today.

02
Add clearance

Allow 2–4 mm on each axis for a snug fit, and more if you are adding foam, a pillow insert or tissue.

03
Give us the order

We quote as Length × Width × Height. Tell us whether you are working in millimetres or inches and we match it.

What It Costs

Pricing & minimums.

Sauce Bottle Boxes is priced per specification rather than from a fixed list — the same box in two different finishes can land at very different numbers. Below is what actually moves the price, so you can shape the spec before you request a quote.

What moves the price
Quantity

The single biggest lever. Unit cost falls sharply as volume rises, because setup and tooling spread across more pieces.

Material and thickness

Board weight and stock choice change both the raw material cost and the shipping weight of the finished run.

Finishing

Foil, spot UV, embossing and soft-touch each add a pass on press. One or two lift the box; five compound the cost.

Print coverage

Full-bleed print inside and out costs more than a one-sided design on natural stock.

Inserts and hardware

Foam, moulded pulp, velvet pillows, magnets and ribbon are priced per piece on top of the box itself.

Timeline

Standard production is the base rate. Rush moves you up the production queue and carries a surcharge.

— Frequently Asked Questions —

Questions, answered.

Everything you need to know about Sauce Bottle Boxes.

Genuinely depends, and it is worth deciding deliberately rather than assuming a box is an upgrade.

A label is enough if you sell single bottles through retail, in a category where competitors are not boxed, and your distribution is palletised. You save real money per unit.

A carton earns its place if any of these apply:

  • You need print space. A curved bottle gives you a narrow label band. A carton gives five flat panels — enough for provenance, recipes and a story.
  • You ship direct to consumers. Parcels are handled individually and dropped; glass chips at the neck and shoulder. A fitted carton is what prevents that.
  • You want to sell gifts or multi-packs. A boxed set sells at a higher price than the same bottles loose, and it opens a gifting market a bare bottle cannot reach.

Tell us your route to market and we will give you a straight answer, including if that answer is that you do not need us to make you a box.
