Where can we source standard off-the-shelf 6-bottle wine cardboard cases with reasonable lead times?

Several suppliers offer off-the-shelf wine cases, though lead times vary significantly. Members have identified the following options:

- **Smurfitt Kappa** (Holland) — offers a "premium" service for standard unbranded cases with a 5-week lead time. Contact: sonja.romeijn-velderman@smurfitkappa.nl - **Kite** — recommended as a good option for stock availability on standard cases - **Rajapack** — mentioned as an alternative, though recent stock availability was reported as limited - **Davpack** — suggested as another potential supplier - **Boxes Direct** — members have used this as a stopgap supplier for online orders (www.boxesdirect.co.uk) - **WBC** (Wine Bottle Cases) — offers pallets of 6-bottle budget transit cases available in bulk, including fold-up options (https://www.wbc.co.uk/offers/bulk-buy/6-bottle-budget-transit-pallet-bulk-buy/)

**Caveat:** Even for standard, unbranded cases, lead times remain long (5 weeks minimum reported). Stock availability fluctuates, so checking directly with suppliers for current availability is essential before committing to orders.
