Bespoke boxes

When none of our stock sizes fits, we will make a box that does, from 250 boxes upwards.

Sizes and styles

We make boxes to your internal dimensions, from 100 × 100 × 50 mm up to 1,200 × 800 × 800 mm. The most common styles are:

Regular slotted cartons: the classic four-flap shipping box, quick to make and economical in board.
Crash-lock and tuck-lid mailers: fast to assemble and tidy to open, for subscription boxes and online orders.
Die-cut boxes with inserts: a box and cardboard fitment that hold a product still without void fill.
Two-piece and telescopic boxes: a base and a lid for long or awkward items, such as prints, tools or garden equipment.

Board grades explained

Corrugated board is described by the height of its flutes, the waves of paper between the two flat liners. Taller flutes cushion more; thinner ones fold neatly and print better.

Corrugated and rigid board grades with thickness and typical use
Grade	Thickness	Good for
E-flute	1.5 mm	Mailer boxes and retail boxes up to about 3 kg
B-flute	3 mm	Everyday postal cartons up to about 15 kg
C-flute	4 mm	Fragile items that need more cushioning
BC double wall	7 mm	Heavy loads up to about 30 kg and pallet stacking
Greyboard (rigid)	1–2 mm solid board	Presentation boxes that are kept, not posted

We can also tell you the burst and edge-crush strength of each grade if your customers or your courier ask for it.

Samples

Before a production run, we make a plain, unprinted sample box to your dimensions in the board grade you have chosen. Your first sample is free and is dispatched within 5 working days; further samples are £15.00 excluding VAT each. Pack your product into it, post it to yourself, and tell us what you would change.
