FAQs

Are these boxes suitable for international shipping?

Yes, they can be used for international shipping provided the contents meet carrier weight and size regulations.

Can I reuse these boxes?

They are designed for single-use, but they can be reused if the cardboard has not been creased or torn during the initial transit.

Do I need to tape these boxes?

While the earlock lids are secure, using a small piece of adhesive tape is recommended for added security and to prevent tampering.

What is the maximum weight these boxes can hold?

These are designed for light, slim items. Please refer to Royal Mail's Large Letter weight limits to ensure compliance.

Are these boxes recyclable?

Yes, they are made of corrugated cardboard and are fully recyclable in standard paper/cardboard waste streams.

Troubleshooting

Lid does not stay closed.

Ensure all side flaps are fully folded and locked into the earlock mechanism. Use a small piece of shipping tape if the contents are tight.

Box feels flimsy.

Ensure you are not overstuffing the box. Single-wall construction is designed for slim items; if the box is bulging, the contents are too thick.

Box corners are getting damaged in transit.

Use a layer of bubble wrap around the item before placing it in the box to add a buffer between the contents and the box walls.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Optimized for low-cost postal rates
  • Easy and fast assembly process
  • Professional, clean aesthetic for customers
  • Durable enough for standard slim goods

Cons

  • Not suitable for heavy or fragile items
  • Single-wall construction offers limited crush protection
  • Requires adhesive or tape for maximum security

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Assembly is straightforward: fold the side panels upward, wrap the back panel over, and tuck the earlock flap into the designated slot. No tools are required, though you may use clear shipping tape to reinforce the edges for added security during long-distance transit.

Store these boxes in a cool, dry environment. Moisture is the primary enemy of corrugated cardboard; storing them in a damp area can weaken the fibers and compromise the structural integrity of the box. Ensure they are kept flat until use to prevent pre-creasing or accidental deformation.
