Custom 6 Bottle Wooden Wine Case with Custom Silk Screen Printing

Dimensions. Standard fits six 750ml Bordeaux bottles in a 3×2 grid. Adjustable for Champagne (taller, wider diameter), Burgundy (wider body), or mixed bottle formats. The internal divider grid is re-cut for each custom bottle diameter — the box footprint changes with bottle size.

Wood Species. Pine is standard — the best balance of structural strength, weight, and cost for a 6-bottle carry case. Paulownia for a lighter-weight version — reduces the empty box weight by about 30% but at higher material cost. Hardwood (oak, walnut) for premium positioning at 2–3× the weight and cost of pine.

Finish. Dark stain is standard — hides handling wear and creates maximum contrast for light-colored branding. Natural pine with clear coat for a lighter, more casual look. Custom stain colors available. Two-tone finish: dark stain exterior with a clear-coated natural interior is standard; fully stained interior available but adds cost and process time.

Rope Handle. Standard is natural sisal — strong, textured grip, complements the dark wood aesthetic. Cotton rope for a softer hand feel. Leather-wrapped handle for premium positioning. Rope color can be matched to brand colors. Handle routing: centered on the front panel for balanced carry, or offset for a specific visual layout.

Branding Method. Silk screen printing is standard — the gold-on-dark combination is the highest contrast and most visible at distance. Laser engraving: burns through the dark stain to reveal lighter wood beneath, producing a subtler brown-on-dark effect that reads at close range. Hot foil stamping: metallic on dark stain for the most premium mark — higher setup cost than silk screen. UV printing: full-color detail but less effective on dark backgrounds unless backed with white underprint. Silk screen & engraving methods →

Divider Configuration. Standard 3×2 grid for six 750ml bottles. Adjustable to 2×3, 2×2 (4 bottles), or custom configurations. Removable dividers available — converts to a general storage case when bottles aren't inside. Fixed dividers are structurally stronger; removable dividers add flexibility at the cost of slightly looser fit.

The rope handle is the defining feature — and it's more demanding than it looks. A rope handle on a 6-bottle case carries roughly 17 pounds of wine. That load must transfer from the rope, through the box body, to the bottom panel that supports the bottles. A surface-mounted handle — screwed or stapled to the outside — concentrates that entire load on the screw threads and the wood fibers directly around them. Pine's screw withdrawal resistance is adequate for hinges and latches; it's not adequate for a full 6-bottle load repeatedly lifted by a single-point handle attachment. The rope passes through the front and back panels of the box — the load is distributed across the full thickness of the panel, not concentrated at a screw point. The through-hole is reinforced with a metal grommet that prevents the rope from abrading the wood edge over repeated lifts. This is the difference between a case you can carry for years and a handle that pulls out on the third use.

Dark stain with gold silk screen is the highest-contrast branding combination available on wood. Light wood with dark branding is common — it's safe and forgiving. Dark stain with gold print does the opposite: it demands attention at shelf distance. The gold ink reflects ambient light; the dark stain absorbs it. The result is a brand mark that reads at 20 feet, not 5. The specific combination matters for retail environments where your wine case sits among dozens of competitors on a shelf or in a window display. This isn't just aesthetics — it's retail visibility engineering.

The internal divider grid does double duty as structural reinforcement. In a 6-bottle case, the longest unsupported panel span is the front and back — roughly 35–40 cm on a standard 3×2 layout. Without dividers, an impact to the center of that span flexes the panel and transfers shock to the bottles. The divider grid creates three separate compartments across the width — each divider acts as an internal rib that ties the front panel to the back panel. Impact energy is distributed into the dividers and through to the opposite panel, rather than deflecting the panel into the bottles. The dividers protect the bottles from each other AND from the box structure itself.
