Explore Postal Boxes from Macfarlane Packaging

We offer a wide range of sturdy, easy to assemble postal boxes in over 20 sizes, including small postal boxes and large postal boxes. Products in Macfarlane’s postal box range feature unlined shipping boxes or lined boxes with foam for extra protection. So, whatever you need to post, we’ll have the right box for your product.

PIP compliant shipping boxes offer optimal product protection

All our boxes are PIP compliant. PIP stands for pricing in proportion and was introduced by Royal Mail in 2013. The guidelines categorise packages into different size and weight bands, with corresponding postage rates. PIP boxes are specifically sized to fall within these bands, enabling you to choose the most suitable postal box for your items and pay the correct postage.

If you’re using a parcel courier other that Royal Mail, these easy to store, easy to assemble postal boxes are still aa great choice if you need a postal box!

Easy to use and eco-friendly postal boxes for a sustainable supply chain

Designed to be easy to pack and seal, our cardboard postal boxes improve productivity at pack stations as well as providing enhanced product protection. The sturdy construction of these mailing boxes enables them to withstand rough handling in transit and the tuck in locking flap facilitates closure and sealing, with a printed security label for each box.

Using PIP cardboard postal boxes promotes environmental sustainability by minimizing excess packaging material. The standardized sizing ensures that packages are appropriately sized, reducing the need for excessive packaging and filling material. The boxes are also made from recyclable materials and are themselves fully recyclable.
