Flat Pack Postal Boxes
All our postal boxes are supplied flat pack, so they take up very little space and are handy if you are limited on the amount of storage space available to you. They are also intuitive to assemble and can be made up easily in seconds.
Quick Seal Postal Boxes
For added convenience, many of our postal boxes feature a quick-seal option, saving you time during the packing process. For extra protection during transit, you can also choose to reinforce your boxes with our high-quality packaging tapes to ensure a secure closure, giving you peace of mind that your items are safe and ready for shipping.
Product Specific Postage Boxes
Some of our boxes are specifically designed for certain products. For example, our picture boxes are perfect for safely shipping books and framed items like artwork, whilst our book wrap mailers are designed to fit around books of all sizes. If you're posting a flat and non-fragile item, choose our large letter boxes for packaging that slots through letterboxes with ease.
Why Choose Kite Packaging for Royal Mail Postal Boxes?
Recognised as the UK Packaging Company of the Year, we combine quality and sustainability to deliver the best solutions for your business needs.
Secure Transit for Your Goods
Although reputable distribution companies such as Royal Mail or DPD make every effort to ensure the safety of your packages, human error can still occur. Kite Packaging’s high-quality solutions are designed to protect your items every step of the way, so you can ship with confidence.
Sustainability and Social Responsibility
As a leading carbon-neutral packaging supplier, we specialise in the supply of sustainable postage boxes and packaging. From achieving carbon-neutral status to supplying plenty of plastic-free products, we understand the importance of prioritising the environment while delivering on quality.
Recyclable Packaging
Our postal boxes are made with Forest Stewardship Council-approved materials, containing 60-90% recycled content. They are biodegradable, recyclable, and a sustainable choice for businesses looking to reduce their environmental impact with eco-friendly packaging.
Coloured Postal Boxes
We offer a large range of brown postal boxes, otherwise known as kraft, as well as white postal boxes for a highly presentable look.
Looking to take your customers' unboxing experience further? We offer custom printing to tailor your boxes to your exact specifications. Whether you’re creating subscription boxes with your company logo or adding a unique touch to a plain box, our custom postal boxes create a fresh, branded experience for your customers.
Durable Cardboard Boxes
Corrugated cardboard is what makes our boxes as durable as they are. It’s made by layering a corrugated piece of paper (called fluting) between two flat sheets of paper (called liners). This combination creates a durable, cushion-like structure that helps protect items from impacts, crushing, and damage during transit.
Our postal boxes have a single layer of corrugated cardboard, making them perfect for small parcels. If you need to ship larger or particularly heavy items, explore our full range of cardboard boxes. This includes double-walled cardboard boxes for extra strength and heavy-duty boxes designed to handle the toughest shipping demands.
Choosing the Right Postal Boxes
With so many postal boxes available, how do you choose the right one for your products and business? Here are some key factors to consider:
Size & Efficiency
Ensure your product fits comfortably within the chosen postal box, minimising excess space. Focus on the internal dimensions of the box and leave room for additional packaging materials like void fill. Need help? Watch our video on how to measure a product (scroll all the way down).
Strength & Protection
Packages go through multiple hands and environments before reaching their destination, so choose a box that offers adequate protection. For added security, use packaging materials like loose fill chips or explore specialised solutions.
Shipping Fragile Items
Protect delicate goods like electronics, ceramics, and other breakables with our Air Shock range. Foam-lined mailing boxes are also available and can be customised for a perfect fit, ensuring your items remain safe during transit.
