IT'S THE TOTAL PACKAGE
A Breakthrough In Beverage Packaging
Welcome to Craft Crate – Revolutionizing Beverage Packaging
At Craft Crate, we are transforming the beverage industry with our innovative packaging solution. Our patented bag-in-box design offers unmatched efficiency compared to traditional methods. By overcoming previous limitations, our solution paves the way for bringing groundbreaking and high-quality beverages to market with ease.
Craft Crate was born from the vision of our founder, James Mataczynski, who was inspired by the exceptional craft beer scene in the greater Denver area. Frustrated by the lack of access to these outstanding brews outside their local breweries, James saw an opportunity to revolutionize the industry.
Introducing Craft Crate: a state-of-the-art packaging solution designed to accommodate any beverage, including carbonated drinks. Our crate is lightweight, reliable, cost-efficient, space-saving, and incredibly user-friendly. It simplifies the packaging process and enhances the consumer experience.
Our mission at Craft Crate is to share the best beer around the world by empowering craft breweries to package and distribute their product at a scale previously unimaginable. With our innovative packaging, we aim to bring a diverse range of exceptional beverages to consumers worldwide. We’ll start with craft beer (our favorite industry, closest to home) and revolutionize others from there.
Join us in shaping the future of beverage packaging and distribution with Craft Crate – where innovation meets convenience.

SUSTAINABILITY
Doing Our Part
For The Environment
Craft Crate beverage packaging is made from mostly cardboard, so it’s easy to ship and recycle (even compost). Eventually, we’ll create a circular supply chain so that as little as possible goes to landfill. We are also committed to sourcing sustainable alternatives to conventional materials. Our beverage packaging is made 100% in North America to support jobs and reduce the environmental impacts of shipping overseas.
