Products that don't fit standard storage and handling are billed at “low density” rates, as a multiple of the standard storage rate.
| Code | Applies to | Rate |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Unstable and odd-sized cases. Anything that can't be clamped into a storage lane: 1.5L bottles, 6- and 12-pack laydowns, wooden boxes, magnums, sparkling wine, odd-shaped boxes and unstable packaging. | 1.2× |
| 2 | Slippery cases. High-gloss or waxy cases, or cases that lose their shape when clamped. These stay on pallets and take more space. | 1.2× |
| 3 | Unlabeled product (shiners). Ships out as full pallets, always returns to the winery, and box tops usually aren't glued. | 1.2× |
| 4 | Low production runs. Products under 800 cases per production year don't fill a lane. Accurate bottling schedules matter here. | 1.2× |
| 5 | 6-packs at 88 or more cases per pallet, which store more densely. | 0.6× |
| 6PKLOW | 6-pack low production. 6-packs at 88+ cases per pallet with under 1,600 cases per production year. | 1.0× |
| 6 | Empty glass. Unsealed boxes must stay on pallets, often no more than two pallets high. | 1.2× |
| 7 | Oversized boxes that overhang the pallet and can't be clamped without damaging neighboring cases. | 1.2× |
| 8 | Racks. Product moved to racks when demand drops too low to justify a lane. | 1.2× |
| 9 | Inactivity. Under 56 cases and inactive for 60+ days: slow-moving, obsolete or library wine. | 1.5× |
| 10 | 5-gallon kegs. 20 kegs per pallet, stacked 4 high, single-level pallets. One keg holds 5.23 gallons (a 750ml 12-pack is 2.38 gallons). | 2.0× |
