Shipping alcohol in Europe requires some care and planning. Namely, alcohol is listed among items non-recommended for shipping, as broken bottles can cause damage to your parcel as well as to the ones surrounding it. This may cause additional costs to your shipment. However, it is not impossible to ship your favourite wine or beer to a friend or family as a gift. As long as you correctly prepare your shipment for a safe journey to its final destination.

Before shipping parcel including alcohol, make sure you understand certain legal limitations and restrictions.

Which packaging materials to use?

Since you have decided to ship the delicious drops of alcohol drinks, you will need proper packaging materials in order to prevent any damages. Use the following:

1. Cardboard boxes of various sizes – the boxes you are planning to use need to be sturdy and without any dents in order to handle heavy weight. Instead of using new boxes, you can also get used ones from your local supermarket.
2. Cardboard carton – you will use it for extra protection to separate the wine bottles in order to prevent friction between bottles or even one bottle crashing into another during transport and handling process.
3. Wrapping material and plastic bags – bubble wrap is ideal for protecting the glass bottles. It can be bought at any stationery or hardware store. You can also use paper, carton or any other material cushioning instead.
4. Polystyrene and other cushioning materials, like packing peanuts – it should be thick enough to secure and keep bottles in place.
5. Scissors and adhesive tape – needed to cut cardboard and for sealing the shipment.

How to prepare parcel including alcohol for shipping?

You will have to carefully secure the bottles since the couriers are not always obliged to handle packages with extra care. By following these steps, your shipment should be properly prepared for shipping:

1. Wrap each bottle separately. Put each bottle in a plastic bag for extra protection against spillage. Wrap each bottle with the bubble wrap to protect them from shocks during transport and handling. You can also use paper, carton or other material, which can protect against bumps. Secure the wrapping with adhesive tape or rubber band.
2. Put wrapped bottles in the smaller box. Use some cardboard carton to separate the bottles. Polystyrene bottle holder is even a better option. Fill the empty space between the bottles with packaging peanuts or other cushioning material. Close and seal the box with adhesive tape.
3. Put the small box into a larger one. Again, fill the empty space with cushioning materials and close and secure the box with adhesive tape.
4. Protect the middle box with polystyrene sheets. Cut them to the size of the box and attach them to all sides of the cardboard box with tape. This will add an extra layer of protection against any shocks your bottles might encounter during transportation.
5. Put the middle box in the third box. Fill any empty space left using filler materials. You can also slightly shake your package to see whether you need more cushioning.
6. Seal and label (if needed) the box. Close the box and seal all the flaps and edges with adhesive tape. Be generous as the tape also acts as an additional security of the box. Print the label and attach it, if needed (when shipping from Spain, Poland, and Sweden).
