Delivery Boxes
Self-locking custom delivery boxes for couriers and DTC brands, protecting orders from warehouse to doorstep with crush resistant walls and clean branded print.
Product Overview
Delivery boxes are the workhorses of ecommerce fulfilment, carrying an order safely through sorting belts, van shelves and letterbox drops without a scuff reaching the customer. Packlic manufactures self-locking delivery boxes from single and double-wall corrugated board, so warehouse teams fold and seal each carton in seconds without tape guns or glue. The tuck-and-lock base holds weight securely, while snug internal dimensions stop products sliding and reduce void fill costs. Printed edge to edge in full colour, your delivery boxes turn an ordinary courier handover into a branded moment. Available in dozens of footprints, from small parcel mailers to bulkier subscription cartons, every box ships flat to save storage and freight.
- Self-locking base folds and seals in seconds, no tape needed
- Single or double-wall corrugated board matched to parcel weight
- Full-colour CMYK print inside and out for branded unboxing
- Ships flat-packed to cut storage space and courier costs
We match the material to the job, drawing on six grades of board: Kraft, Corrugated, Coated Art Board (C1S), Rigid Greyboard, Solid Bleached Sulfate (SBS), and Metallic. Together they span the whole range, kraft for eco-minded artisan brands, heavy greyboard for luxury rigid boxes, and bright SBS for cosmetics, pharmaceutical, and high-end retail packaging. A small business chasing affordable corrugated mailers and a premium label after the weighty snap of a magnetic-closure box draw from the same FSC-certified supply, chosen to look right on shelf, survive transit, and impress at the moment of unboxing.
Finish is the detail customers feel, so we cover every option: soft-touch matte lamination, high-gloss lamination, silk lamination, spot UV coating, gold and silver foil stamping, embossing, debossing, and aqueous coating. Spot UV sets a glossy highlight against matte to steer the eye to your logo; soft-touch lamination gives rigid boxes a velvety surface that says premium before the box is opened. On SBS or coated art paper, foil stamping produces the crisp metallic accents that luxury cosmetic, fragrance, and gifting brands count on to back up their pricing and spark the kind of unboxing people share online.
Paper weight shapes two things at once: how the box sits in the hand and how it fares in transit. We run the whole scale from lightweight 8pt to heavyweight 28pt, using the point system common to US and UK suppliers. For folding cartons and high-volume retail boxes, 8pt–12pt does the job; for most product packaging, 14pt–18pt is the dependable workhorse, strong enough to protect, light enough to keep shipping costs down. And 20pt–28pt brings the rigid, substantial feel that luxury gift boxes, rigid set-up boxes, and premium cosmetic packaging rely on, where the box's weight signals quality before the lid is lifted.
Custom Delivery Boxes Built for Ecommerce Despatch
Every online order lives or dies on the last mile, and your delivery boxes are what stand between a packed shelf and a five-star review. Packlic builds courier-ready cartons that survive conveyor sorting, stacking and doorstep drops while carrying your brand the whole way to the customer.
What Makes a Delivery Box Different
A delivery box is not a storage carton with a label slapped on. It is engineered for movement: repeated manual handling, slides down roller conveyors, drops from van height and pressure from other parcels stacked on top in a full cage. The self-locking or tuck-lock design lets a picker assemble a flat blank into a rigid box in a single motion, which is decisive when a fulfilment line processes hundreds of orders an hour and every wasted second multiplies. The payoff is a consistent, secure closure that does not gape open on the belt or demand a reassuring second strip of tape before it leaves the bench. Couriers route a parcel through a dozen touchpoints between collection and delivery, from depot sortation and trunking to the final walk up a garden path, and each handover is a fresh chance for a flimsy carton to burst open unsupervised.
Corrugated Board and Construction
We match board grade to what you actually despatch rather than over-specifying and paying for it on every carton. Lightweight single-wall B or E-flute suits apparel, cosmetics and everyday retail goods, keeping dimensional weight and freight bills low. Double-wall BC-flute steps in for heavier or denser orders that need genuine stacking strength on a pallet. Kraft liners give a rugged, courier-tough look that hides scuffs, while white top liners create a crisp print face. Precise scoring and die-cutting mean the box folds square every time, so it presents neatly on the step and columns tightly in the van without wasting cube.
Sizing and Fit for Lower Shipping Costs
The right footprint is a cost lever, not just a fit question. Carriers bill on dimensional weight, so an oversized box quietly inflates the price of every despatch you send. We help you specify internal dimensions that hug the product, cutting the void fill you buy and shrinking the parcel into a cheaper rate band. Our common ecommerce formats include the options below, and we cut bespoke sizes to your exact SKU with no compromise on wall strength. The saving compounds fast: shave one rate band off an outbound consignment and the difference across a peak-season manifest of tens of thousands of parcels soon pays back the tooling.
- Small parcel and cube formats for accessories and multi-item orders
- Slim apparel and book-wrap mailers that fit letterbox and locker slots
- Subscription-depth cartons sized for recurring monthly line-ups
- Bespoke internal dimensions cut to your SKU to slash void fill
Protection Through the Last Mile
Protection comes from the whole system working together, not one thick wall doing all the work.
- Snug internal sizing that stops contents shifting during handling
- Optional fitted inserts, pads or dividers for multi-item orders
- Reinforced double-wall walls for heavy or awkward despatch
- Secure self-lock closure that resists popping open under stacking load
Branded Print and Finishing
A delivery box is a marketing surface a customer physically holds, unlike an ad they scroll past. Print full-colour CMYK artwork across the exterior, or add interior print so the box opens onto your logo, a thank-you message or a discount code that drives the second order. A hard-wearing print that resists scuffing on the conveyor keeps that message legible all the way to the door, while economical single-colour flexo keeps unit costs down for high-volume shippers moving thousands of parcels a week. Barcode and address-panel zones can be left clear so your despatch labels sit square and scan cleanly at the depot without covering the artwork. Every proof is colour-checked so your brand stays identical from the first pallet to the tenth repeat run.
Sustainability and Ordering
Our corrugated board is recyclable and available with high recycled content, and water-based inks keep the finished carton kerbside recyclable for your customer with no plastic to separate. Right-sizing is itself a green win, trimming raw material and shaving the emissions tied to shipping air around the carrier network. Fewer damaged parcels also means fewer redeliveries and replacement despatches clogging the road. Send us your product dimensions and artwork and we will return a free 3D mockup before a single box is printed.
