Our Journey
In 2016 the craft beer industry in the United States was booming. With just over 5,000 breweries across the country, the need to ship beer was higher than ever, yet no reliable product existed to ship canned beverages. With damaged product and unhappy customers, breweries were searching for a trustworthy solution to their growing problem. Enter Whale Pod Shipper, the world's original craft can shipping solution.

At Whale Pod, sustainability is the way we manage and operate our business to best serve our customers, care for the environment, and provide eco-friendly products in a way that minimizes our carbon footprint.
We provide beverage packaging solutions that are fully recyclable, reusable, and eco-friendly. Our Pods are made to protect beverages, but also made to protect the environment.

Tested for quality
We knew the industry was relying on us to create a product that could withstand rigorous shipping conditions, and be easy enough for anyone to assemble. We developed our first shipper with quality components and went through multiple rounds of testing to verify they could protect the beers inside. The first product we introduced to the market was the 12 Pack Premium Whale Pod, designed to be durable, impact resistant, and environmentally friendly.
