Six filled bottles is a real load. The handle and base need specifying for weight, not for cell count.
6 Inserts Carrier Boxes are die-cut from board or routed from foam to hold each item in a fixed position, so nothing shifts between the packing bench and the customer.
6 Inserts Carrier Boxes hold six items in a divided carrier, at the point where hand-carrying becomes genuinely heavy. That is the starting point for the specification, because six filled bottles is a real load. The handle and base need specifying for weight, not for cell count.
In service they are used for beverage retail and takeaway where six is the standard multipack.

Where a product needs to be held still, a fitted insert cut to its profile does more for damage rates than a heavier outer board. It usually costs less too, because you can drop a grade on the outer.
Corrugated with a doubled base and a reinforced handle, or a handle-free design where the load is high.
The options we would consider for this format are below; six filled bottles is a real load. The handle and base need specifying for weight, not for cell count.
The handle tears out, because six filled bottles concentrate a substantial weight on one small attachment.

A 2 × 3 cell layout, noticeably heavier when filled than a four-cell.
Send the contents rather than a box size. A six-cell is specified as simply a larger four-cell, when the weight increase changes the structural requirement.
A larger printable area than a four-cell, and multipacks are frequently the shelf-facing unit.
The finishes below are quoted line by line. Each is an additional pass, so dropping one is a real saving rather than a rounding difference.
Ask for an unprinted sample if the question is fit, or a printed prototype if the question is colour. They answer different things.
Sample costs are normally credited against the production order.
The useful starting point is the product, not the pack. Give us its measurements and the quantity, and we work the packaging insert outward from there.
A dieline template follows, sized to your product. Prepress checks your artwork against it and issues a proof; nothing runs until you sign that off.

Answers
Specification, minimums and lead times for 6 inserts carrier boxes.
Structurally, no. Six filled bottles put considerably more load on the base and the handle attachment, which is where these fail. Send the filled weight and we will specify both for it.
Only if boxes are arriving crushed. If they arrive intact with damaged contents, the product is moving inside and a heavier outer changes nothing. A fitted insert solves that case, usually at lower cost.
Yes, and for 6 inserts carrier boxes we prefer to specify both together. A cavity that holds the contents still often lets us drop a grade on the outer, so the pair can cost less than an over-specified box alone.
Board is cheapest and suits light or regular shapes. Foam holds irregular and fragile items better and absorbs shock. Moulded pulp sits between them and is the more recyclable of the cushioning options. Send the item and we will recommend.
3 to 5 business days after artwork approval, plus freight. Packaging insert runs with applied finishes can take longer because each finish is a separate pass, and we confirm a firm date in writing with the quote.
Prices start from $0.30 per piece for large-volume orders. For this format the biggest levers are quantity, print route, board grade and how many finishing passes are involved. We quote each element separately so you can see where the money is going. An insert often lowers the total rather than raising it, because holding the contents still lets us drop a grade on the outer.
Yes. We can send a plain unprinted sample so you can check the fit and structure, or a printed prototype for colour and finish. Sample costs are normally credited against the production order. On 6 inserts carrier boxes the thing to check is whether the contents still sit tight once the pack is closed, because movement inside is what causes damage rather than the board grade.
Send the current specification or a physical sample and we will quote to match it rather than proposing an alternative you would then have to re-approve internally. A physical sample tells us more than a specification sheet — board caliper and coating are usually described loosely and measured exactly.
All 50 US states, the United Kingdom, Canada and Australia, on the same timeline everywhere: 3 to 5 business days of production after artwork approval, then 5 to 7 business days in transit. Every run is made to order and shipped directly to your address rather than pulled from stock, so you receive current production rather than whatever has been sitting in a warehouse. Freight is costed separately by weight, volume and destination. Tell us at quoting if the delivery point cannot take a pallet, and we will break the consignment into cartons instead.
Every run is cut to your dimensions — there are no stock sizes here. Send the product measurements rather than a box size and we will build the packaging insert around them, then send a dieline template you can design onto.
We issue a dieline template sized to your product, prepress checks your artwork against it, and a proof comes back for sign-off. Nothing runs until you approve that proof, and packaging inserts then take 3 to 5 business days.
Yes. Once a first run is approved we hold the board, structure, dimensions, print method and finishes against your account, so a reorder references the same specification exactly rather than being re-derived. It also means a reorder can be priced against a larger quantity without re-opening the specification.
