DS Smith Supplies Austrian Brewery with Fiber-Based Bottle Box for Beverages

DS Smith has equipped Austrian-based brewery, Privatbrauerei Hirt, with a fiber-based box for its e-commerce expansion. The brewery recently opened an online shop featuring beverages such as beers, lemonades, vinegars, spirits, and non-alcoholic products.

DS Smith packaging solution can provide protection for 0.5 L and 0.75 L glass bottles during storage and transportation.

Dieter Glawischnig, managing director for Packaging at DS Smith Austria, says: “Our mission was to develop a smart, sustainable packaging that meets the high standards expected of premium beverages and uses fewer materials, while providing a comprehensive and robust product protection in terms of casing.”

“This is a crucial factor and key consideration for many of our customers in today’s booming e-commerce landscape.”

Protecting e-Commerce
The fiber box aims to secure critical areas, the cap and base, of glass bottles. It features shock-absorbing edges and fastening tabs. It is also recyclable.

Heimo Schader, managing director at Privatbrauerei Hirt, says: “We are excited that our customers can now enjoy our premium and high-quality products when they purchase from our new online shop.”

“The fiber-based packaging also offers ample space for our impactful and recognizable branding, and this ensures an exceptional unboxing experience.”

The packaging solution is intended to be a cost-effective and flexible option that does not require additional components to bolster the internal support structure, according to DS Smith.
