Shipping beverages—especially canned drinks—can be tricky. Between pressure changes, rough handling, and leakage risks, poorly packed shipments can quickly turn into costly losses. The good news? With Whale Pods, shipping beverages becomes simple, secure, and scalable.
Start by selecting the correct Whale Pod configuration for your product—whether you’re shipping standard 12oz cans, sleek cans, 16oz cans or bottles.
Whale Pods are designed to:
· Hold cans and bottles snugly in place
· Prevent dents and movement
· Protect against vibration during transit
Choosing properly fitted Pods is critical, as movement inside the box is one of the leading causes of damage in beverage shipping.
Assembling Whale Pods is simple. Just a few folds, place the inserts in, and voila, you’re ready to pack.
Make sure to:
· Include the inserts – don’t forget!
· Check our website for instructional assembly videos
Pro Tip: Store the inserts next to the Pods they fit it, it’ll save you time packing.
Insert the cans or bottles directly into the Whale Pod slots. The structure of the pod eliminates the need for:
· Loose fill (like peanuts or paper)
· Any type of additional packing
Traditional shipping requires individually wrapping and adding cushioning to prevent shifting —but Whale Pods streamline this by locking cans and bottles into place.
Put a piece of shipping tape to seal it, slap on a label on, and you’re ready to ship!
Key steps:
· Label the box “Fragile” or “Liquid” if required
· Choose a reliable carrier (UPS, FedEx, USPS depending on contents)
· Track your shipment to ensure delivery
