Shipping Boxes for UK Orders
Shipping packaging has to be planned around both the packed product and the journey to its destination. Start by describing whether the box goes directly to a customer, moves through a fulfilment centre, or sits inside an outer carton. Include the product dimensions, approximate packed weight, any protective wrap and the number of items in each order. This gives the team practical information to review format and specification options without guessing from the product name.
Choose a format for the delivery route
A postal box, mailer or another shipping format can suit different pack-outs. The right option depends on how the box is filled, closed, labelled and handled, as well as whether another carton is used. Describe your normal packing process and where the label or dispatch information needs to sit. If the box must fit a shelf, storage bin or existing dispatch carton, include those limits in the brief.
The product page links below show examples from the current catalogue; they are not a guarantee that every format will suit every carrier or parcel service. Check any carrier size or weight rules that apply to your account and share them with the packaging team. Confirm the final outside dimensions and closure details against the approved specification before placing an order.
Specify size, protection and print
Measure the product after any wrapping or insert is included. Allow the team to review the needed clearance and protection rather than adding arbitrary space. For a multi-item parcel, explain how the products are arranged and whether dividers are needed. These choices can affect the inside layout, the board construction and the way the box closes.
Board, print coverage, coatings and other finish options depend on the selected structure. If you want a lower-impact material or a particular recyclability statement, ask for the exact proposed board and supporting evidence. An environmental label by itself does not confirm the performance or end-of-life treatment of the complete pack.
Make the quote and delivery plan clear
The published minimum order is 100 boxes per size and design. State your target quantity, number of sizes, artwork status and delivery postcode so the team can review the complete project. Quotes are based on the confirmed specification and destination; no fixed price is shown on this page.
Ask for a written production and delivery estimate for the approved specification and destination. Keep the approved proof and specification with the order so the finished box, dispatch process and delivery plan can be checked against the same brief.
