Branded, Durable & Sustainable Can Trays by Whale Pod Shipper

 

 

Custom printed can trays are one of the most effective packaging solutions for beverage brands looking to package and protect canned drinks, streamline fulfillment, and build brand recognition. At Whale Pod Shipper, our custom printed can trays are designed specifically for beverage companies that ship, store, and sell cans — from hemp beverages, craft beer and seltzers to functional and non-alcoholic drinks.

Whether you’re shipping direct-to-consumer, selling cans in your taproom or bottle shop, or preparing product for retail, custom can trays provide the perfect balance of strength, efficiency, and branding.

What Are Custom Printed Can Trays?

Custom printed can trays are corrugated cardboard trays engineered to securely hold beverage cans while displaying your branding directly on the packaging. Unlike plain trays, these are custom printed with your logo, colors, and graphics — turning every sale into a brand touchpoint.

Whale Pod Shipper offers custom printed trays for:

Each tray is designed for proper can spacing, load strength, and stacking performance, making them ideal for shipping, warehousing, and retail presentation.

Why Beverage Brands Choose Custom Printed Can Trays
1. Built for Shipping and Protection

Our custom printed can trays are designed specifically for beverage logistics. They help:

  • Prevent can shifting and damage during transit

  • Improve pallet stability and warehouse handling

  • Reduce the need for extra packaging materials

This makes them a smart solution for DTC beverage shipping, wholesale fulfillment, and retail distribution.

If you're shipping trays of beverage cans direct to consumer, we recommend our Tray Pods. These include the tray, as well as an outer shipping box, designed specifically for shipping shrink wrapped (or non-shrink wrapped) trays of beverage cans. We offer them in a both 12 pack and 24 pack sizes, and they fit 12oz, 16oz, 12oz sleek, and 12oz standard cans. They can be custom printed as well. 

 

2. Strong Branding & Shelf Appeal

Custom printed can trays act as branded packaging and marketing in one. Your logo and design are visible:

  • In warehouses and fulfillment centers

  • On retail shelves

  • During unboxing for direct-to-consumer orders

This increases brand recognition and creates a more professional, premium presentation compared to generic packaging.

3. Efficient & Cost-Effective

Compared to full boxes, can trays:

  • Use less material

  • Assemble quickly

  • Reduce overall packaging costs

  • Lower shipping weight

Whale Pod Shipper also offers bulk pricing and wholesale discounts, making custom printed trays affordable even at scale.
