The COVID-19 pandemic has caused a ripple effect throughout the food and beverage industry. All liquor stores, taverns, breweries, wineries, and other local and national bars were forced to close during the statewide stay-at-home orders, and some of them remain closed to this day. To survive this economic downturn, especially with no income, a majority of these establishments shifted their focus on pickup and delivery orders.
What’s the single most important aspect of a successful curbside pickup or delivery business model? The delivery process, of course! Business owners must ensure that the product will arrive safely to its destination, otherwise, they will either lose money replacing a damaged product or deal with a very angry customer — in most cases, it’s both.
This is where box partitions come in! As the overwhelming demand for curbside pickup and delivery of alcoholic beverages grows each day, bar owners and restaurant managers need to have the proper packaging materials handy. The difficult thing about transporting beer, wine, and, in some cases, liquor is that these bottles are usually made out of glass, a fragile material that can break easily. Therefore, sturdy packaging is essential.
Box separators can provide bar owners and restaurant managers with peace of mind knowing that their fragile products will make it to the customer’s house in one piece. Here’s why.
- Box partitions separate glass bottles from each other. Every bump on the road is an opportunity for the glass bottles to collide into each other and crack or completely break. With a partition separating each bottle from the one next to it, you don’t have to worry about an accident waiting to happen.
- Box partitions fill the box. Fragile items should be packed as tightly as possible without causing damage to the glass, so they don’t jostle around too much. Box partitions are a great way to eliminate extra space in the box and make sure everything is snug in its place.
General Partition Company offers a variety of box partitions for sale to local and national bars, restaurants, wineries, or breweries who are stepping up their curbside pickup and delivery game.
More often than not, chipboard partitions are the perfect solution for alcoholic beverages because they are lightweight and fairly inexpensive, but strong enough to provide the necessary amount of protection. However, we also have corrugated partitions for anyone who needs extra-strength cardboard dividers.
