This type of cardboard has a strong layer in the middle, which makes it sturdy, lightweight, and great at protecting items from damage. No matter what you need to pack or ship, you’re sure to find the right packaging solution to keep your goods safe.
Pallet Boxes – Your Route to Effective Shipping
Shipping and export boxes need to be strong as compromising on quality could lead to damaged or broken goods. We stock long-lasting, quality boxes and pallet stillages at great prices for your business's shipping needs.
Discover pallet boxes ideal for rail, road, air and sea.
Cardboard Postal Boxes - For Cost Efficiency
Our postal boxes have all the cardboard packaging features to safely and securely transport your goods from A to be B. This includes hinged lids for easy assembly along with adhesive strips for quick sealing. All our postal packing boxes are fully compatible with the Royal Mail system and their PiP guidelines, so that you can save on postage.
Choose from two colours: brown postal boxes provide a simple, practical option whilst white postal boxes offer a polished and highly presentable finish.
Our e-commerce boxes meet similar requirements to the postal boxes, with the fastest assembly time of all our cardboard boxes and a hinged lid that displays goods aesthetically to the customer.

Cardboard Box Size and Strength
Once you've decided on the type of cardboard box that best suits your needs, the next step is to choose the right size and strength level to ensure your products are well-protected.
Small & Large Cardboard Boxes
Our large cardboard boxes are built for strength and durability, making them the go-to solution for storage boxes or transporting bigger items like bedding, appliances, or electronics.
On the other end of the scale, our smallest box – just 102 x 102 x 102mm – is perfect for delicate or compact items like ceramics, small tools, or manufacturing parts.
Single Wall, Double Wall & Heavy Duty Packaging Boxes
We offer three types of packaging boxes to suit different needs: single wall, double wall, and heavy-duty. Here’s a simple explanation of each and when to use them:
Single Wall Boxes
Single wall cardboard boxes are lightweight and have one layer of wavy fluted cardboard in the middle, great for everyday packaging and lighter items.
Double Wall Boxes
Double wall cardboard boxes are much stronger, with two layers of fluted cardboard for extra protection. They’re ideal for shipping heavier items or fragile products.
Heavy Duty Cardboard Boxes
Heavy-duty cardboard boxes are the strongest of the three and built to handle very heavy or valuable items.

Eco Friendly Packaging
We partnered with WRAP to provide eco-friendly packaging that is cost-effective for your business. WRAP stands for the Waste and Resources Action Programme, a charity working globally to tackle the climate crisis.
Kite’s own brand of eco-friendly boxes are a popular choice thanks to their intelligent and sustainable design. These Enviro boxes have a heavy-duty single wall structure with the equivalent strength of a double wall cardboard box, which means they use less material and release 30% less CO₂ into the atmosphere during production.

What Our Customers Say
Frequently Asked Questions
We've answered some of the questions we get asked most often below.
Are Cardboard Boxes Recyclable?
At Kite, all our cardboard boxes are kerbside recyclable. They also feature 60-90% recycled content, making them sustainable from the beginning to the end of their lifecycle.
Improve your brand's environmental image by using sustainable packaging; many customers prioritise eco-friendly packaging when making purchases.
Are Cardboard Boxes Sustainable?
Yes, cardboard boxes are sustainable. Unlike plastic mailing bags, cardboard and paper does not weaken when recycled; the quality largely stays the same. You can embrace recycled materials without sacrificing the functionality that delivers goods in perfect condition every time.
What is the Difference Between a Cardboard Box and a Corrugated Box?
A cardboard box is made from a single layer of thick, stiff paperboard, commonly used for lightweight packaging, such as cereal boxes, gift boxes, and shoeboxes.
A corrugated cardboard box, on the other hand, is much stronger because it features a fluted middle layer. This fluted layer acts like a cushion, making the box more durable and resistant to impact.
What Are Corrugated Boxes Used For?
Corrugated boxes are often used for:
- Shipping and transportation of goods
- Moving and storage
- Protecting fragile or heavy items
- E-commerce and retail packaging
The fluted layer in corrugated boxes provides tension and resistance for effective shock absorption while keeping overall package weight low. This makes corrugated boxes a highly economical option for many businesses.
