Box finder

Will it fit, and what will it cost?

Type in what you are sending. You get the box we would make for it, the right board for the weight, a price from the same calculator we use ourselves, and the Royal Mail size band that box lands in. One centimetre over a band limit puts up the postage on every single order you send.

What are you sending?

Measure the item itself, not the box you use now.

This is the room left for bubble wrap, paper or void fill.

Your box

Fill in the item size, weight and quantity, then press "Show my box and price".

What we make

Every box is manufactured on site from brand new corrugated board. Take a standard size, or give us your internal dimensions and we cut to them.

Why bother with a small maker

Read this before you ring a national supplier

The usual way

  • A pallet is the smallest order they will take.
  • No price until you have been through a sales call.
  • Stock sizes only, so you pay to post fresh air.
  • Lead times measured in weeks.
  • A call centre, and a different person every time.

The way we do it

  • Two boxes is a perfectly good order.
  • Entry prices printed on this page, before you ring.
  • Cut to your internal size, so nothing is wasted.
  • Made on site, so urgent top ups take days.
  • Ring the number and you get the owner.

Where we deliver

Delivery is free inside 20 miles of the unit in Livingston. Outside that we cover Edinburgh and central Scotland, and we quote the carriage with the boxes.

Customer reviews go here

There is nothing in this space because nobody has left a review yet, and we are not going to invent any. If we have made boxes for you, a review on Google takes about a minute, and for a small local firm it counts for a great deal.
