Top Vendors for Corrugated Mailing Boxes

Corrugated shipping boxes take up a large part of the budget for mail order companies, online retailers and any store that ships a large quantity of product. However, online suppliers offer an array of prices from extremely cheap for small boxes to a higher range for custom boxes.

The average pricing of corrugated boxes for mailing is between 13 cents to over $1, depending on size and quantity. It's common for a corrugated box supplier to sell the boxes in bulk quantities only. However, there are some suppliers willing to sell individual boxes. When buying corrugated mailers, remember that the price goes down the more you buy. Before you buy corrugated mailing boxes online, check the following:

1. Check how long it takes for a supplier or manufacturer to make custom boxes.

2. Can the boxes have any graphics on them to advertise your business?

3. Is there an experienced sales staff that can help you determine the right boxes for your needs?

Look for the best bundle pricing on corrugated packaging

Bundle pricing includes a set amount of corrugated boxes for a certain price per box. With bundle pricing, the cost per box goes down the more you order. Most suppliers already have a set number for bundles, such as 25, 50, 100 and so forth. However, suppliers are usually eager to work with clients who need truckloads or pallets of boxes.

Order custom industrial corrugated boxes

A custom box meets the specifications set by your company. A custom box is ideal for very heavy items, oddly shaped items and for companies that want their logo printed on the box. Since custom boxes aren't stock items, it may take a few days before your boxes ship, so make sure you order custom boxes with plenty of time for delivery.

Find wholesale pricing on corrugated mailing boxes

Wholesale pricing from suppliers of industrial corrugated mailing boxes is slightly cheaper than ordinary box suppliers. One difference with wholesale suppliers is the selection variety. Wholesale box choice may not vary as much as a regular corrugated box supplier.

• Don't forget to check the pricing of packing materials when ordering corrugated boxes. Bubble wrap, corrugated cardboard sheets and packing peanuts all effect your shipping budget.
