Bottle crate vs. heavy-duty crate
| Option | Best For | Key Advantage |
|---|---|---|
| Beer Crate | Bottle return systems | Divider protection + branding |
| Vegetable Crate | High stack loads | Rigid corners + load capacity |
Bottle distribution scenarios
Brewery returnable bottle loops
Distributor warehouse handling
Retail back-room stacking
Typical choices for beverage crates
HDPE for impact resistance; 718H steel for long production runs and stable divider geometry.
Divider inserts by bottle size, logo panels, and reinforced handle zones for repeated lifting.
Common ranges for bottle crates
Bottle layout: 12/20/24 pockets
Cavity: 1
Cycle time: 40-55s (design dependent)

Runner: hot runner recommended
What to confirm before tooling starts
Divider inserts not matched to bottle size
Handle area too thin for repeated lifting
Logo panel too close to ribs causing sinks
