A containment basket adapted for bottles or similar containers includes: sidewalls, a base including grids or slots, an open side opposite to the base, and a fastening system on opposite first sidewalls of the basket; for securing fixed grids parallel to the base of the basket. The fixed grids include apertures for housing the bottles. Lateral guides on opposite second sidewalls of the basket are adapted for housing a lever system for positioning a sliding grid parallel to the fixed grids in a height-adjustable position. The sliding grid includes apertures suitable for housing the bottles. First windows on the second sidewalls are adapted to cooperate with the lever system to allow the height-adjustable positioning of the sliding grid and to allow the sliding grid to slide between a first bottle retaining position and a second bottle releasing position.

A shipping insert for shipping bottles, comprising: a bottom tray; a center divider; and a top tray. The bottom tray may include a plurality of base receptacles that engage with and removably hold a plurality of bottles. The center divider may include one or more supporting side extensions, one or more top center supports, and a plurality of openings. The center divider may engage and align with said bottom tray, such that said center divider is centered on said bottom tray and remains substantially in place when said plurality of bottles are loaded or unloaded into said shipping insert. The top tray may have a plurality of neck receptacles, one or more side walls, and one or more raised segments. The raised segments and side walls may have one or more shoulders. When the insert is assembled, the plurality of neck receptacles may engage bottle necks, the shoulders may engage bottle shoulders of the bottles, and the neck receptacles, are in alignment with the openings of the center divider and said base receptacles of said bottom tray.

The disclosed systems and methods relate to improved tamper-proof cases for securely storing and shipping products. In one example, a tamper-proof case comprises a unibody frame constructed from a single piece of material. The unibody frame can comprise six sides and include one or more living hinges that allow the unibody frame to fold into a completed case. Various sides can be configured to receive panels to give the crate additional structure, rigidity, and security. Additionally, the frame can comprise a split-top lid with a self-locking mechanism with a tamper-proof pull tab for opening the lid.

A dolly pallet assembly including a pallet having a pallet body defining a bottom surface and at least two channels therein. Each channel includes side walls and a channel bottom surface spaced a first height relative to the pallet body bottom surface. An entry into each channel is defined in the body and includes a ramped surface which slopes from a second height relative to the pallet body bottom surface at the entry to a third height relative to the pallet body bottom surface adjacent the channel bottom surface, wherein the second height is less than the first and third heights. The dolly includes a support platform with a plurality of wheel assemblies and at least one locking member, wherein the dolly is positionable relative to the pallet with the wheels received in respective channels and the locking member selectively engageable to lock the dolly relative to the pallet.

A holder system is provided for protecting valuable and/or breakable objects such as wine and liquor bottles. The holder system can comprise a body with inflatable panels and/or foam panels that define an interior volume. Inflatable and/or foam inserts are positionable within this interior volume to define pockets in which to place valuable objects such as wine or liquor or other bottles. The inflatable panels and inserts surround each pocket to cushion and protect a valuable and/or breakable object in the pocket from accidental drops, jostling, other objects in the holder system, and any other forces that may damage the object. When not in use, the panels and inserts may be deflated to fold the holder system to a smaller size so that the holder system may be more easily transported when not holding and protecting valuable and/or breakable objects.

Disclosed are systems and methods for an improved bottle packaging system and shipping container, and more particularly to a container wherein top and bottom inserts are employed to stabilize the bottle(s) and to provide impact resistant cushioning during shipment of liquids and the like. For a 4-bottle (quad) pack embodiment the improved insert design includes a fiber-molded bottom insert placed on the bottom of the carton for receiving the bottoms of a plurality of bottles and top insert fitting over the caps, necks and shoulders of bottles placed into the carton.
