More than ever, consumers are demanding plastic free alternatives to many products. And packaging is no different. That’s why we have developed a range of Plastic Free Postal Packaging options that will get your products to your customers in one piece!
Let’s take a look at some Plastic Free Postal Packaging options
Postal Boxes
Located in the ecommerce packaging section of our website, you will find our extensive range of Postal Boxes.
This plastic free postal solution is becoming more and more popular with our customers. They are available in a wide range of sizes, with white and brown cardboard options. We even offer a bespoke printing service, so if you want to personalise your Postal Boxes, just give us a shout!
They are delivered flat packed to reduce your storage, but they can be put together in just seconds. Why not watch our short video below:
Once put together, you can see it offers a firm fit. If you wanted to secure the boxes even further, why not consider our Paper e-tape. It is made from strong Kraft paper and a natural rubber-based solvent. This makes the tape 100% recyclable. If you are looking for an alternative to plastic packing tapes, look no further!
Returnable Postal Boxes
New to our range of Postal Boxes are our Returnable Postal Boxes. Available in3 sizes, 160x150x75mm, 290x208x95mm and 375x255x150mm. All of these boxes have 2 ‘peel and seal’ strips meaning items and the boxes can be easily returned. With the growth of ecommerce showing no signs of slowing down, our Returnable Postal Boxes offer an excellent ecommerce solution.
All of our Returnable Postal Boxes come flat packed, and just like our regular Postal Boxes, they can also be made up in seconds!
To put the boxes together, simply fold the cardboard into place. Then ‘fix’ the bottom of the box in place by pressing down gently on the flap. To secure the box, just remove the top seal strip, and away to you go.
The box is opened by removing the perforated strip on the front of the box. Should any items with not be suitable, the box can be resealed using the second strip. As the box remains fully intact, the items can then be retuned in the same box they were delivered.

Book Wraps & Boxes
If you’ve ever ordered a book online, it was probably delivered in a Book Wrap or Book Box. These plastic free cardboard boxes offer real choice, with a variety of sizes and colours available.
Our Book Boxes are made from a flexible corrugated cardboard, and this means they offer all-round protection. You even have the ability do adjust the depth of the board to best suit the item(s) being sent. They really are a must-have for e-commerce businesses. And all are produced with a quick ‘self-seal’ strip. This makes them incredibly efficient when packaging items to be sent out to your customers.
Like with the other products highlighted, you could add an extra level of security with Paper Tape if wished.
Supplied flat packed, and you’ve guessed it, they can be made up in seconds. Just take a look!
