Elevate Every Bottle Leaving Your Distillery with Packaging That Protects, Impresses, and Proves Your Commitment to Sustainability
New Zealand craft distillers pour their heart into every bottle – the recipe, the still, the label, the story. That’s what makes a gin or whisky truly special. But if that bottle arrives damaged, cracked, or looking like it’s been through a war zone, all that craftsmanship is undermined in an instant.
For many craft spirits brands, packaging is still an afterthought: bulky gift boxes, plastic sleeves, or bubble wrap that adds cost, creates waste, and often fails to protect the bottle in transit. The result?
Higher breakage rates and damage claims
More plastic your customers have to dispose of
A disconnect between your premium product and average packaging
At Woodhill Distribution, we understand that for a craft distiller, packaging isn’t just about protection – it’s about brand, experience, and sustainability. That’s why we work with NZ distilleries to upgrade from traditional plastic and bulky boxes to Flexi‑Hex honeycomb paper sleeves.
Flexi‑Hex sleeves are designed specifically for bottles. They:
Give robust, crush‑resistant protection in transit, reducing breakages and damage claims
Create a premium, shelf‑ready presentation that looks great in the box and on the shelf
Deliver a plastic‑free unboxing experience that your customers remember and share
Are made from over 85% recycled paper pulp and are curbside recyclable, aligning with your sustainability story
For craft distillers, this means fewer damaged shipments, less plastic waste, and packaging that matches the quality inside the bottle. It’s not just about protecting glass – it’s about protecting your brand’s reputation and elevating the entire customer journey.
If you’re tired of breakages, bulky void fill, and packaging that doesn’t match your brand story, it might be time to upgrade how your gin and whiskey travel.
