Board, chosen
for the journey
A shelf box and a doorstep box are not the same object. We spec stock against weight, handling and how far it has to travel — then tell you plainly what it will and won't survive.

Which board do I need?
Two questions get most briefs to the right stock. The third — how it looks — is a finishing decision, not a board one.
E-flute corrugated, 1.5 mm
On sustainability
Most of what we run is recyclable in ordinary paper streams, and we will spec recycled content wherever the structure allows it.
We will also tell you when a choice works against that. Soft-touch laminate and foil both make a box harder to recycle; a plain kraft mailer with a one-colour print is the cleanest thing we can hand you. Which trade-off is right depends on the product, and it should be a decision you make with the facts, not a claim printed on the lid.
Send the product weight
With dimensions, weight and the courier you use, we can spec the board and quote the run in two working days.
