Abstract
A package for individual wine bottles includes a box shaped lower portion having a top side defining a first cutout for receiving a bottom portion of a bottle and a flat handle portion joined to and extending vertically from the top side of the box shaped lower portion. The handle porting defines a second cutout for accommodating the bottle. The box shaped lower portion and the flat handle portion are formed by folding a single corrugated cardboard sheet that has been cut into a predefined shape. Packaging wine bottles using this package is done in two stages. First, collapsible half-formed packages are manufactured by cutting corrugated cardboard sheets into the predefined shape and folding the sheets. Second, the half-formed packages are collapsed and transported to another facility such as a winery, where bottles of wine are packaged using the half-formed packages.
