Shipping craft brews securely is essential to preserving their quality. The last thing a brewer wants is damaged cans arriving at their destination. That’s why Millcraft is introducing Flex-Pods and Econo-Pods, two innovative and reliable solutions designed for hassle-free beverage shipping.

Why Packaging Matters for Craft Brews

Craft beer is about quality and presentation. Without proper packaging, brews risk breakage and spills during transit. Quality packaging ensures secure shipments and simplifies logistics, providing brewers, retailers, and consumers peace of mind. Flex-Pods and Econo-Pods offer robust shipping solutions so brewers can focus on creating great beer.

What Makes Flex-Pods Unique?

Flex-Pods revolutionize beverage shipping with built-in protective dividers that separate each 4-pack of cans, making packing fast and secure. They eliminate the need for extra packing materials, reducing waste and simplifying the process.

Constructed from heavy-duty C flute 32ECT grade cardboard, these Pods offer superior strength and protection. With triple-layer top and bottom reinforcement, they prevent movement and absorb shock, ensuring beverages arrive intact.

Introducing Econo-Pods: The Eco-Friendly & Economical Choice

Millcraft is also excited to offer Econo-Pods, a cost-effective and environmentally friendly beverage shipping solution. Designed to fit both 16oz and 12oz cans, these Pods offer double corrugate wall protection on all sides and top, with triple-layer reinforcement on the bottom for enhanced durability.

Econo-Pods are optimized for 4-pack and 6-pack cans held together by PakTech holding tops (sold separately and 100% recyclable) or packaged in 4-pack paperboard carriers. This makes them incredibly easy to use—simply place the pack into the box, seal, and ship!

Efficiency and Cost Savings

Both Flex-Pods and Econo-Pods streamline packaging operations, reducing labor costs with their easy assembly and pack design. They require no additional packing materials, cutting down on waste. Their compact and lightweight structure makes them cost-effective to ship and easy to store, optimizing warehouse space.


Shipping efficiency is further enhanced by their stackable, standardized design, maximizing storage capacity in warehouses and delivery trucks alike.

Sustainable and Customizable

Millcraft is committed to sustainability, and both Flex-Pods and Econo-Pods are 100% recyclable. Brewers can reduce their environmental footprint without compromising quality.

Additionally, both products offer customizable printing options, allowing breweries to brand their packaging with logos and product details. Custom packaging enhances brand recognition and creates a professional, polished look that impresses customers.
