Packaging for subscription boxes
What you'll need
Subscription brands typically need a consistent, well-fitting postal box with protective fill and finishing touches that make every unboxing feel considered.
Subscription box brands live and die on the unboxing, so packaging is part of the product. You need a consistent box that protects the contents and presents well every single month.
Maximum Packaging supplies stocked postal boxes and protective fill online, and can source custom sizes or branded print through our UK supplier network. Custom runs are quoted so you know cost, minimums and lead time before committing.

Common buyer questions
What packaging do I need for ecommerce orders?
A box or mailing bag sized to the product, void fill or bubble wrap so nothing moves, plus tape and a courier label. Right-sizing keeps postage and damage down.
Which boxes fit Royal Mail Large Letter?
Boxes within 353 × 250 × 25mm post as a Large Letter. Our PiP postal boxes are cut to sit inside those limits so you pay the cheaper rate.
Poly or paper mailing bags — which should I use?
Poly mailers are waterproof, lightest and cheapest; paper mailers are kerbside recyclable with a premium feel but less water resistance.
Can you supply plastic-free packaging?
Yes — paper mailers, kraft void fill, paper gummed tape and compostable food packaging. We keep eco claims specific and accurate.
