Standard Shipping Boxes

Standard Shipping Boxes

A box that arrives square, sealed, and undamaged is the first thing a customer notices about an order. Standard shipping boxes UK businesses rely on are FEFCO 0201 cartons, plain slotted & standard boxes in single or double wallboard. They flat-pack for storage and build in seconds. Hale Path Packaging makes them in set sizes or to your own dimensions, with your logo if you want one.

Standard Shipping Boxes UK Sellers Can Pack, Seal and Dispatch Without Fuss

Storages, post rooms and online shops use it every day. Buyers constantly display cardboard when they mean corrugated, and our guide to corrugated boxes covers the distinction. We construct standard shipping boxes UK buyers can request by the carton or by the pallet. Very small or flat items constantly pack nicely in corrugated mailer boxes, which hold the product closer.

  • Stock transfers, storage and archive moves, where boxes need to stack and stay square

Single or Double Wall? Match the Board to Your Product Weight

Single wall board has one layer of fluting between two liners. It’s light, low-cost, and right for most everyday orders. Our single wall boxes cover that range. Double wall board has a second layer of fluting, so it holds up better against crushing. Distributors usually rate single wall at around 10 kg and double wall at around 20 kg. Then we suggest double-wall boxes only if the load needs them.Flute size changes performance, and our guide to corrugated flute types explains each one. Our boxes use kraft brown or white liners. Corrugated board is paper, so these are recyclable cardboard boxes. See our corrugated board page for more.

Get the Size Right First: Internal Dimensions, Fit and Courier Cost

Always order by internal dimensions, not outside measurements. Box sizes are written as length, width and height, in that order. Length and width are taken across the opening. Measure your product at its widest points, then add room for protection. A gap of about 20 to 25 mm on each side is a common starting point for fragile goods. It’s also the quickest way to find the right box size for courier parcels. If your product falls between stock sizes, we also make made-to-measure shipping boxes to your own dimensions. Our custom multi-wall boxes page shows the choices. Two things go wrong when the size is off:

  • A box that’s too small stops the flaps from closing flat, and the corners take the knocks

Why Us Image

Logo Print, Handling Marks and a Clean Finish for Standard Shipping Boxes UK Brands Are Proud to Send

Customers see the box before they see the product, so print matters. For logo shipping cardboard boxes, a one colour logo print is the simplest choice. We can add handling marks such as this way up arrows and fragile symbols. White outer liners give a sharper result than brown kraft. You can see every option on our printing and finishing page.

Plain Brown or Printed Cartons: Which Suits Your Order?

Plain brown cartons work for storage transfers and storage, where your team sees the box. Printed cartons claim orders that reach customers. Many sellers use both. They maintain plain boxes for bulk and internal moves, and print the cartons that go to customers.

Why UK Online Sellers and Trade Buyers Reorder Their Shipping Cartons From Hale Path Packaging

We cut, crease and glue every carton ourselves, so the person quoting your order can check the board and the print. Small brands can start with a short run. Flat packed cartons take up little stand space, and the same sizes are there when you reorder in larger quantities. Trade buyers obtain the same sizes on every repeat order, so packing stations and pallet patterns stay unchanged. Heavy pallet loads require tri wall boxes instead. If your boxes will sit in damp stores or be imported overseas, ask about our export and moisture resistant choices. Send us your product size, weight and delivery route, and we will recommend a board and size.
