Beverage Boxes in Kalamazoo, MI
Kalamazoo is one of Michigan's most commercially interesting mid-sized cities — the home of Bell's Brewery (Michigan's most beloved craft brewery), a major pharmaceutical and biotech presence from Pfizer's significant Kalamazoo operations, Western Michigan University's growing research output, and a vibrant downtown that has attracted a nationally recognized food and arts scene.

Why Choose Our Beverage Boxes
Custom Beverage Boxes | Can Carriers, Bottle Multipacks & Spirits Packaging
Beverage packaging spans one of the widest product ranges in consumer goods — from craft beer six-pack carriers to premium spirits gift boxes, from energy drink retail cartons to cold-pressed juice multipack packaging. Our beverage packaging solutions are engineered for the specific structural, food safety, and brand communication requirements of the drinks industry, with configurations that handle the weight of glass and aluminum while delivering retail shelf impact for beverage brands competing in crowded market segments.
Beverage Packaging Applications
- Can Carriers: Four-pack and six-pack corrugated carriers for craft beer, hard seltzer, and canned cocktails — replacing plastic ring carriers with sustainable paperboard
- Bottle Multipacks: Corrugated or chipboard multipack trays for glass and PET bottle beverages
- Beverage Cartons: Folding cartons for powdered drink mixes, tea sachets, instant coffee, and single-serve beverage products
- RTD Cocktail Boxes: Premium retail cartons for ready-to-drink canned cocktail brands seeking differentiation from standard can display
- Energy Drink Cartons: High-impact retail cartons for energy drink brands requiring shelf differentiation
- Spirits Gift Boxes: Premium rigid or folding carton packaging for whiskey, gin, and premium spirits retail and gifting
Sustainability in Beverage Packaging
The beverage industry is under significant pressure to eliminate single-use plastic packaging. Paperboard can carriers replace plastic six-pack rings with 100% recyclable alternatives — a change major breweries have implemented to meet consumer expectations and retailer sustainability requirements. Our paperboard can carriers are manufactured from recycled content board and are curbside recyclable without disassembly.
Paperboard Can Carriers: The Sustainable Six-Pack Alternative
Plastic six-pack rings have become one of the most visible symbols of beverage industry plastic waste — and major craft breweries, hard seltzer brands, and canned cocktail producers are replacing them with paperboard can carriers that are 100% curbside recyclable. Paperboard carriers handle the structural requirements of holding four to six cans securely — the bottom tray supports can weight while top panels grip the can rim — while providing a full-color print surface that transforms the utilitarian carrier into a brand communication tool.
Premium Spirits Packaging for Retail Differentiation
Premium spirits brands — whiskey, gin, rum, and tequila — increasingly use secondary packaging to differentiate on the retail shelf and justify premium price points. A whiskey presentation box with embossed label replica, matte lamination, and metallic foil accents commands retail attention and supports gift purchase decisions far more effectively than an unpackaged bottle. For limited edition and collector spirits releases, rigid boxes with numbered certificates and foam inserts create collector artifacts that appreciate in value.

Beverage Boxes in Kalamazoo — FAQs
Do you make paperboard can carriers for craft beer?
Yes. We produce paperboard can carriers for standard 12oz and 16oz beverage cans in four-pack and six-pack configurations. The carrier uses recycled content corrugated board with full-color flexographic printing. They are curbside recyclable and meet the sustainability requirements of major grocery retail chains that have banned plastic six-pack rings.
What packaging works best for premium spirits retail?
Premium spirits benefit from secondary packaging — a presentation box over the bottle — that justifies premium pricing and supports gift purchase decisions. Folding carton presentation boxes with soft-touch lamination, embossing, and metallic foil are cost-effective for standard retail. Rigid two-piece boxes with foam inserts are preferred for ultra-premium and limited edition spirits releases.
Can beverage multipacks be made sustainable?
Yes. Paperboard multipack trays from recycled content board replace plastic shrink wrap and plastic tray carriers for bottle multipacks. FSC-certified board is available for brands requiring sustainability certification. All paperboard multipack components are curbside recyclable.
What is the minimum order for beverage packaging?
Our minimum order is 100 units for all beverage packaging formats. For craft breweries and small-batch spirits brands, digital printing makes short-run custom packaging economical at quantities that match small-batch production volumes.
