case
Deoarece este vorba de bauturi, cred ca "case" e cuvantul cel mai potrivit:
"A beverage vending contract that could pay the village about $120,000 over five years is to be contingent on park visitors buying 2,700 cases of soft drinks, bottled water and juice per year,..."
http://www.jsonline.com/news/wauk/aug04/248355.asp
"Two one-ton capacity trucks actually distributed the finished products, delivering a total of 12,364 cases of Union soda in six-and-one-half or seven ounce bottles during the year..."

As eugenman points out, "case" can indeed refer to the plastic box that bottles of soft drinks come in, though "crate" is used more often - however, illogically enough, we do also use "case" for the packaging made of cardboard and plastic, e.g.
"Removal of corrugated trays used for cases of soft drinks. Removing trays from one-litre soft drinks, for example, has removed 200 tonnes of corrugated cardboard from the supply chain..."

By coincidence, I've just received a spam e-mail offering me "12 cases of free soda"! If by that they mean the large plastic 'boxes', I think that's unbelievably generous but somehow I don't think they do!

Colloquially in the UK, at least, the "naveta" would be known as a "crate": "case" is indeed used to describe the plastic/cardboard packaging, though I don't know if that's the 'case' in the US/Canada too, if you'll excuse the pun! :) see example above

Cred că majoritatea băuturilor răcoritoare sunt ambalate în folie de plastic.
