Shipping boxes for repeat orders.
Build your packing around a clear specification: the product, its protection, the box and the parcel you hand to your carrier.
Choose shipping boxes that fit the full order
Measure the product in its packing position, including wrapping, inserts and other items sent with it. Compare the complete arrangement with usable internal dimensions. Our internal box size calculator helps with a simple rectangular item and an allowance you choose.
For several products, test a real packed sample. A calculation of empty space does not establish whether the finished order is adequately protected.
What matters beyond the box size?
- Board specification: ask for the grade and construction of the actual box.
- Closures: confirm how the carton is assembled and sealed.
- Finished parcel: measure and weigh the closed order with all packaging included.
- Handling: consider the way the order is carried, stacked and transported.
- Repeat supply: record the supplier’s product code and check changes to the specification.
Should I use single or double wall?
Choose with the contents and packing method in mind. A wall label alone cannot tell you the suitable weight for every box. Compare the actual specification and any relevant tested limits. Read our single versus double wall comparison before assuming more layers answer every packing question.
How do I compare bulk shipping box prices?
Divide the complete delivered box order by the number of boxes received, using the same VAT treatment for every comparison. Then account for the protective materials, assembly time and storage space your packing method needs.
Buying a larger quantity only helps if the boxes suit your orders and you can use and store them. Our quantity options and prices are still being confirmed.
Postal or shipping boxes?
The names overlap. Smaller orders may suit a postal or mailing box, but the actual internal fit, closure and packed external measurements should guide the choice.
