If you are an online retailer, you should know the different types of product containers you can use for product delivery. The most commonly used packaging materials are corrugated boxes and paper or plastic mailing envelopes.

If you have smaller items that need protection while in transit, such as books, DVDs, printed materials and other related articles, you can use the flexible postal mailers. Often they come as white mailing boxes in different sizes.

Advantages Of Postal Boxes

What’s good about these white postal boxes is that they are quite durable. They are made from single wall cardboard. Some of them have sides with double or triple lining to improve the box’s strength. With their interlocking or tuck-in flaps, you can assemble the postal boxes quickly, and secure the lid easily. Tape can still be used for added security.

The postal boxes come in a variety of sizes, although there is a limit to their dimensions. They are particularly designed to conform to the Royal Mail Pricing in Proportion (PiP) sizing, so users can save on postage.

You can have them made to order, depending on your specific requirements. Some can have up to quadruple thickness on the sides and front to ensure that the content is safe in transit. Because the exterior of the box is white, it provides an excellent background for your company or product logo. Alternatively, you can order specially printed tape with your logo to seal the mailing boxes, which is an excellent way to promote your brand.

Other Special Features

You can order specially designed white mailing boxes to fit your products. You can have them printed in full colours with your product logo or company name. The white exterior of the box is clay-coated, making it stronger. You can choose to have the box’s interior in natural colour or white. With the die-cut flaps, a fully assembled white postal box looks very professional and sleek.

While some boxes have flaps that securely slip into notches and side openings, there are boxes with peel and seal adhesive strips, similar to the type used on plastic mailing envelopes. You do not have to spend on additional tape as the built-in adhesive strip keeps the box secure. For thinner and flatter items, you can use the folder wrap type of mailing box.

Other manufacturers offer postal mailing boxes with foam lining. This type improves the safety of the content. At the same time, you minimise the use of additional cushioning.

These types of mailing boxes keep the content snug, minimising the risk of the items inside the box sliding here and there while handled and stored by the packaging department and during shipment.

With white postal boxes, you can speed up the packing process of your products. The boxes are strong and versatile and provide additional protection to the contents with the thicker sides and fronts. You can use them for small, bulky, delicate or fragile items. You can either order postal boxes printed with your company name or product logo, or use address labels instead.
