Beverage Packaging & Applications

The best beverage packaging depends on the type of product, the supply chain, and how the product will be displayed in retail. Packaging should provide protection during transport while also supporting efficient handling and strong shelf presentation.

Solid board beverage packaging offers an ideal combination of strength, sustainability, and visual appeal. Solidus’ packaging solutions can be customised for a wide range of bottle and can shapes and sizes, helping brands create retail-ready packaging that protects products throughout the supply chain while enhancing shelf presence.

Efficient beverage packaging helps streamline production, transportation, and retail operations. Packaging should be easy to erect, fill, stack, and transport while minimising downtime and material waste.

Solidus designs beverage packaging with operational performance in mind. Our solid board solutions are optimised for modern bottling and canning lines, helping improve packing efficiency and supply chain performance.

Next to beverage packaging, Solidus also provides solid board partitions and inserts, which play a significant role in improving logistics efficiency. Their design can be tailored to specific bottle shapes, such as wine or cava bottles, ensuring a close fit without unnecessary empty space. This enables more efficient use of packaging and pallet capacity, allowing more products to be transported per pallet while reducing the number of shipments required.

Solid board partitions are also lightweight compared to alternatives such as wood or plastic, helping reduce total pallet weight and support more efficient transportation. Their flexibility allows them to be customised for different product shapes and sizes, making them suitable for various beverage applications while simplifying packing processes.

Packaging is often the first thing consumers notice, making it an important marketing tool. High-quality printing and attractive structural designs help products stand out in crowded retail environments and reinforce brand identity.

Solidus’ solid board provides a smooth and even surface that delivers excellent print quality for both offset and flexographic printing. These design possibilities are also available across our consumer product packaging solutions, helping brands create packaging with strong shelf appeal.

Beverage packaging in Europe must comply with strict food contact regulations and environmental legislation, including the Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation (PPWR). These regulations encourage packaging that is recyclable, resource-efficient, and designed to minimise waste throughout its lifecycle.

Solidus develops beverage packaging using renewable, fibre-based solid board sourced from sustainably managed forests. Our packaging is designed for circularity, with fibres that can be recycled up to 25 times. By replacing unnecessary plastic with recyclable paper-based materials, businesses can support their sustainability goals while preparing for evolving packaging legislation.

Solid board combines durability, sustainability, and premium presentation in one packaging material. It offers excellent product protection while remaining lightweight and fully customisable for different beverage formats.

In addition to beverage packaging, Solidus also provides solid board partitions and inserts that offer an additional layer of protection during transport. By creating separate compartments between individual bottles or products, partitions help prevent movement and direct contact, reducing the risk of damage and breakage throughout the supply chain.

Compared with many alternative packaging materials, solid board can help optimise palletisation, reduce transport weight, and improve logistics efficiency. It also supports high-quality printing and creates retail-ready packaging that enhances shelf impact. As one of Europe’s most widely recycled packaging materials, solid board enables beverage brands to reduce their environmental footprint without compromising product protection, performance, or visual appeal.
