Wine bottle box template
A tube rolled to the bottle's own diameter, with a round base and a lid that tucks shut. A standard 750 ml bottle fits on one Tabloid or A3 sheet; smaller bottles on Letter or A4.
Ready-made sizes
Inside sizes from the maker's published size, plus room to slide it in.
750 ml wine bottle
3.11 × 12.13 in 79 × 308 mm
Wine bottle box. From 11.8 in (30 cm) tall, 2.95 in (7.5 cm) across (a standard 750 ml bottle)1; room added: 4 mm across and 8 mm in height; bottle shapes vary, so measure yours.
How to fold it
Print at 100% on cardstock. Pick the 750 ml ready-made size, or measure your bottle's widest part and its height and type them.
Cut the outline: the long strip, the round lid above it and the round base beside the lid.
Crease the line between the strip and the lid, the lid's tuck crease and the row of tabs along the bottom. The strip itself has no creases: it bends round.
Roll the strip round, printed side out, and glue the grey strip inside the other edge, from the bottom up.
Turn the bottom tabs in, put glue on them and press the round base on from below. Let it dry standing up.
Slide the bottle in, close the lid and push its tuck down inside the tube.
How the template is drawn
Rolled to the bottle
The strip is exactly as long as the bottle's circumference plus one board: 3.1416 × the diameter, 249 mm (9.8 in) for the 750 ml bottle at 3.11 × 12.13 in. A 12 mm (0.47 in) glue strip overlaps the other edge.
Why round
A square box for the same bottle needs four walls of 79.3 mm (3.12 in) side by side plus a tuck end at each end of a 12 in tube: too big for one Tabloid sheet. The round tube's strip is the shortest way round the bottle, so it fits one Tabloid or A3 sheet with its lid and base beside it.
Base
3.13 in (79.5 mm) across, glued under a ring of 8 mm (0.31 in) tabs, each narrowed at its ends so the ring folds flat without overlapping.
Lid
Drawn as the tube's own top, hinged on the front so it closes flat on the rim, with a 15 mm (0.59 in) tuck on its side that pushes down inside the tube.
Square option
Choose “Square” for a tuck end box with a square end as wide as the bottle: a better fit for a small bottle, a candle or a tube of biscuits, and it stands on a shelf with a flat front.
Wine gifts, oils and tall bottles
Wrap a bottle for a dinner, a wedding table or a thank-you: print the tube on patterned card, or put a name on the front with the label. The same tube holds a bottle of olive oil, a tall candle or a rolled poster; type their diameter and height.
A bottle of the 750 ml size needs a Tabloid or A3 printer; smaller bottles fit Letter. For flat gifts, use the pillow box; for a tall bar, the triangular prism box; for a slice of cake, the cake box; and for a small bottle that stands on a shelf, the tuck end box.
