Hi

I need to buy some boxes for shipping that are approx 130cm x 50cm x 30cm.

Not having a lot of luck searching online.

Can anyone recommend anywhere?

Many thanks

Most self-storage places sell big boxes

Have tried the local places but they don’t do anything around these sizes.

Thanks though

For ones that size and if you need them in bulk you can try the paper merchant like Premier Paper, EBB and Antalis. That all also do packing materials by the bulk bag and roll too.

I should have specified I only need around 10 at the moment. Maybe bigger quantities in future though.

ASC direct will do custom boxes, minimum of 25 though.

There will be other online sites for custom cardboard boxes which is what you would need to search for to get them that size, Ive bought 1 off in the past but very expensive for what it is.

Kite do one off the shelf that is 117 x 77 x 66

Not as long as you want, but taller and wider if the contents will fit at a bit of an angle?

Might try bike shops, They'll have huge boxes they're tripping over themselves to get rid of by any means possible.

Ah so close.

Contents needs to lie flat sadly.

We use RAJA's telescopic boxes and regularly ship fragile parcels well over a metre long.
