Hello all,
I'm looking for Postal Corrugated Boxes for mugs to travel the world

Where do you buy it ? For boxes of 1,2 and more mugs.
I would like to compare with what i could find in France.
Thanks.

Listawood have cardboard boxes for sets of 4 and 6 mugs, not found other sellers that have them in stock to order. We use the 4 way ones.

hi, I use the following from packaging monkey on ebay
1 mug 5x5x5 (15p each if buying 100)
2 mugs 9x6x6 (19p each if buying 100) still within small parcel within UK
4 mugs 12x9x6 (29p each if buying 100)
All the above still require bubblewrap/loose fill.

why not just get the polystyrene postal boxes at 32p each and then fasten them together for each order with named fragile tape, mine get there every time
ps not broken either

Thanks Flying.
Angloman, polystyrene seems to be perfect but i'm not sure we don't need to put the polystyrene box inside another box to travel.
I don't know if the shipping companies accept the boxes in polystyrene.
Angloman have you a link about these boxes ?

We'd thought about using polystyrene boxes taped together, but didn't like the environmental impact of using that type of material en-masse, or the amount of storage they would take up compared to card boxes which are recycleable and flat pack.
We also thought that having a box that was made for 4 mugs looked more professional as product packaging, than 4 polystyrene boxes taped together.
This is the 4 way Listawood box, they also have a 6 way version...

Mugs slot in nicely, and don't need extra padding.
