Abstract: Proper beverage packaging is one of the most significant factors which drive high quality of product protection during transportation. Especially, “Crate" has been introduced as a package or container for supporting bottles as glass beverage. For the recent design of the crate, gaps between bottles are the main issues which need to be eliminated. During transportation and load-unload activity, vibration and shock around or/and in between bottles might have a direct effect on the beverage quality. The impact or force distributed with high frequency or often enough causes the broken bottles. Proposed in this research is about the alternative design of a crate where the support devices are introduced to reduce force distributed around/in between two consecutive surfaces of two bottles where the gaps or spaces are eliminated. Product Design and Development (PDD) and Finite Element Analysis are applied for accomplishing task. For the force simulation, the different scenarios in static and dynamic platforms are raised where the three designs of crate are compared on each scenario testing; stacking, lifting and interference fit condition. The simulated results illustrated that the developed designs of crate (two versions of design); the crate-assembly style and the crate-fourteen platform could provide more slots for putting the bottles in; the number of glass bottles per crate of 8% and 16%, respectively. This set of results was compared to the existing design based on the same size – external shape consideration. Applying the additional inserts (supporters) could absorb the vibrations and shocks of beer glass bottles during transportation
