Brown boxes for every stage of your business

A brown box is the classic single or double-wall cardboard box most people picture when they think of shipping. It is made from unbleached, natural kraft-coloured board, which is why it costs less than white or coated stock. Small businesses use brown boxes for everyday parcels, and large businesses use exactly the same boxes for warehouse and bulk shipping runs, often in the thousands.

Plain or Printed

You can order brown boxes completely plain, which suits internal stock moves or storage, or have them printed with your logo, which turns a delivery into a small branding moment. Printing does not usually need to cover the whole box; even a single logo on one panel is enough to make a parcel look like it came from an established business rather than a generic supplier.

Sizes and Styles

Brown boxes come in regular slotted styles for general shipping, and can also be made as mailer boxes or shipping boxes for direct-to-customer parcels. We build each box to your product's size, so you are not paying to ship fresh air inside an oversized carton.

Strength and Wall Type

Single-wall brown board suits most standard parcels. For heavier stock, export shipments, or boxes stacked high in a warehouse, double-wall board adds extra strength. We will suggest the right wall type once we know your product's weight and how it travels.

Order Sizes We Support

Plain brown boxes can usually be ordered in smaller test batches or much larger bulk runs, depending on your stock needs. Custom printed brown boxes are typically available from around 50 to 100 units, so a smaller business can add branding without committing to a huge print run.

Average Brown Box Prices

As a rough guide, plain brown boxes usually cost between £0.20 and £0.45 per unit, and printed versions typically run from £0.55 to £1.50 per unit, depending on size, wall type and print colours. These are guide figures only, and an exact quote depends on your specification.

Sustainability

Brown board is one of the easier materials to make sustainable, since it is widely recyclable and often already made from a high share of recycled fibre. FSC-sourced board is available on request for businesses that want to confirm responsible sourcing.
