SECONDHAND / USED

This category of  boxes includes recycled and/or pre-loved boxes, used once or more but in a good condition ready for reuse.

All boxes are thoroughly sorted and inspected prior to sale. They come in three sub categories- plain, printed or with remnants of tape labels/stickers and/or staples. They come in two strength thicknesses – single wall and double wall and occasionally we sell triple walled boxes suitable for heavy items or products.

Whether you require a single or double walled box depends on the weight and fragility of the item/s you are placing in the box. For extra protection and strength you may want to consider the double walled kind. If you don’t mind a box with writing on it then the printed box range should be considered. If you don’t want the writing to be visible you can choose to cover this with a cardboard coloured spray paint. A more eco friendly option would be to have the boxes turned inside out. We offer a carton turning service which allows the box to be turned inside out so the print is retained on the inside.  A surcharge relative to the size of the box will be charged.

Second hand boxes are very competitively priced and a good choice for both your budget and the environment. You can help reduce your carbon footprint by buying and using second hand/used boxes which would otherwise go into landfill.

All our boxes are manufactured in Australia and a large majority of them are made up of 100% recycled material. Every carton has a percentage of recycled material which on average is between 60-85%.

Our second hand/used box range is referred to as S/H on our stock pages under the carton condition column. You will need to sign up to access the stock list page. Please note all stock is subject to availability.

Please also note that all boxes come flat packed ready for assembly if not otherwise stated.

Deliveries Monday to Friday only. Deliveries to Sydney Metro only. Conditions apply.

Pick up is welcome between 8.30am and 3.30pm Monday to Friday.

HOW TO MEASURE A BOX

Box measurements always refer to the internal dimensions. Measure an open  box in millimetres from the inside in three dimensions: Length, Width and Depth(Height). NB. The length is always the longest measurement. Our stock list dimensions is expressed in Length x Width x Depth(Height)
