Bottle Fulfilment

Bottle fulfilment means fulfilling orders at individual-unit level.

This is usually relevant when the order is too small, too mixed, or too specific to move as a full case or pallet.

What bottle fulfilment means

Bottle fulfilment applies when products need to be picked as single bottles, single packs, or other individual units.

It is commonly used for smaller orders, mixed-SKU orders, sample shipments, and other low-volume requests where original case quantities do not match the order requirement.

This is often referred to as pick and pack or bottle picking.

How bottle fulfilment works

Bottle fulfilment usually involves opening a case, picking the required units, and repacking them into the correct outbound format.

That can include:

picking one or a few bottles from a case
gathering units from different SKUs into one shipment
repacking into courier-friendly packaging
preparing smaller orders for parcel or courier transport

Bottle fulfilment is the most flexible method, but it is also more handling-intensive than case or pallet fulfilment.

Why bottle fulfilment matters

Bottle fulfilment matters because not every order aligns neatly with case quantities.

It allows brands to serve smaller orders, mixed orders, and sample movements without being limited by original case format.
