Abstract:

A bottle shipping system and method for packaging bottles that prevents movement of the bottles during transport. The system includes a first foam section is placed on the bottom wall of a carton having a rectangular shaped prism having four side walls, a bottom wall and a top wall to provide a support surface on which the bottles are placed. A second foam section having a first plurality of openings therethrough adapted to receive the body of the bottles is disposed within the carton above the first foam section. A third foam section having a second plurality of openings therethrough adapted to receive the neck of the bottles is disposed between the second foam section and the top wall of the carton. A fourth foam section to provide a buffer surface against which the bottles are pressed is placed against the top wall of the carton.
