ShipwellTM Protective Drinkware Packaging
Glassware & Ceramic mug orders include FREE ShipwellTM Packaging.
Why We Made the Switch
Shipping ceramics and glassware can be challenging. Traditional individual boxes allow items to shift, bump, and collide—leading to chips, cracks, and broken handles. This not only damages your products but also your customers’ brand experience.
Our new molded trays solve this problem through smart engineering, material innovation, and extensive testing. The video above shows unpacking mugs for print and then repacking them before and after with our new packaging.
Benefits of ShipwellTM Molded Drinkware Trays
1. Engineered Shock Absorption
Our trays are made from molded pulp, a structure scientifically proven to absorb impact and vibration during shipping. This greatly minimizes damage from common carrier handling, drops, bumps, and stacking pressure.
2. Precision-Fit Cavities for Each Item
Every tray is custom-designed to secure mugs & glassware in place, protecting the most vulnerable points:
- Rims
- Handles
- Edges
- Bases
Items lock into position and stay aligned from our warehouse to your customer’s doorstep.
3. Prevents Handle-to-Handle or Cup-to-Cup Contact
The tray design ensures:
- No handles touch
- No handles point into corners
- No rims or bodies collide
Each piece has space between neighboring items and box walls. This eliminates the most common causes of breakage.
Performance in Transit
4. Carton Stability & Rigidity
When 4–6 trays are stacked inside a perfectly sized carton, the entire box becomes significantly more rigid and impact-resistant.
The result? Stronger cartons that hold shape and withstand rough transit conditions.
5. Drop-Tested & Transit-Tested Performance
To ensure reliability, fully loaded cartons were dropped from 36 inches on:
- All corners
- All edges
- All flat sides
Across multiple test shipments—including U.S. and Canada—not a single item broke.
6. Made From 95% Recycled Materials
The molded trays are produced using 95% recycled pulp content, giving you a more sustainable packaging option without compromising performance.
7. More Efficient Ordering
Since the trays dramatically reduce breakage, customers no longer need to over-order to compensate for damaged arrivals—saving both money and waste.
8. Clean, Premium Unboxing Experience
The trays keep mugs and glassware neatly aligned and dust-free, creating a more polished and professional first impression.
No loose fillers. No messy wraps. Just clean, organized presentation.
