Boxes & packing supplies

We stock over fifty box sizes — the everyday cartons people buy for a move, and the awkward ones that are hard to find anywhere else: art and picture boxes, bike boxes, laptop boxes. If you would rather not do it yourself, hand the item over and we pack it — see professional packing.

Tubes are the usual answer for anything large and flat that can be rolled — posters, drawings, plans. If you need the drawing printed as well as shipped, we do that too: see engineer prints.

Why a smaller box can cost less

Carriers do not price a parcel on its weight alone. They work out a second figure from the box's outside measurements — its dimensional weight — and bill whichever of the two is greater. A big, light box therefore costs what its size says it weighs, not what the scale says.

The arithmetic behind that second figure differs by carrier and by service, so it is worth asking rather than guessing: dropping a box size, or putting two items in one parcel instead of two, can move the price on its own. Bring the item in and we will work it out with you before you buy the box, or ask for a quote with the measurements you already have.

Nothing on the shelf the right shape? We build boxes to measure — custom boxes. Packing something today and dropping it off the same visit? Check each location's last pickup times first.
