E-commerce Boxes

E-commerce boxes are corrugated cardboard shipping packages with an integrated self-adhesive sealing strip and a tear-open strip. They are designed for online stores and other businesses that ship customer orders daily. These boxes help simplify packing, reduce the need for additional adhesive tape and maintain a neat parcel appearance, while making the packaging easy for the recipient to open.

The SUPERBOX range includes e-commerce boxes in various sizes, including models suitable for S, M and L parcel locker compartments. This category also includes cardboard mailing envelopes. Packaging construction, sealing methods and reuse options depend on the model selected.

Key benefits of e-commerce boxes

• Integrated self-adhesive sealing strip. Allows the box to be sealed without additional adhesive tape. This simplifies order preparation and helps maintain a neat packaging appearance.
• Tear-open strip. The recipient can open the packaging without scissors or a knife. This reduces the risk of accidentally damaging the product inside when opening the box.
• Resealing option. Some models have a second adhesive sealing strip for resealing the box when returning an item. Check the individual model description for this feature.
• Different sizes and constructions. Packaging can be selected to suit product dimensions and packing processes. Some box models offer several height options, helping reduce empty space above the product.

The adhesive sealing strip and the tear-open strip serve different purposes: the first seals the packaging, while the second opens it. To return an item without additional adhesive tape, a separate, unused adhesive sealing strip is required.

How to choose the right e-commerce box?

1. Measure the product and check the internal box dimensions. Consider the product's length, width and height, as well as the additional space needed for protective materials. Internal dimensions help determine whether the product will fit inside the packaging together with its protective materials.
2. Assess the product's weight and protection requirements. Appropriately sized packaging is often sufficient for clothing and textiles, while fragile or sensitive products may require additional inserts, void fill or other protective materials. Cardboard strength alone does not ensure protection against impacts or prevent the product from moving inside the box.
3. Choose a suitable construction. If you pack products of different heights, a multi-depth box may be useful. For flatter products, consider comparing cardboard mailing envelopes as well.
4. Consider your packing and returns processes. When preparing many orders daily, an adhesive sealing strip helps simplify packing. If convenient product returns are important, choose a model with a second adhesive sealing strip.

Before placing a larger order, it is worth testing a packaging sample with your product and the protective materials you plan to use. This allows you to assess the size, assembly, sealing and ease of unpacking.

E-commerce boxes for shipping via parcel lockers

When choosing a box for an S, M or L parcel locker compartment, check the external dimensions and weight of the final parcel. Assess the sealed parcel with the product and protective materials already packed inside. Identical compartment size labels used by different carriers do not necessarily indicate identical dimensional limits.

Internal box dimensions help you choose packaging that fits the product, while external dimensions help you assess its suitability for shipping. Before dispatch, make sure the packaging is not bulging and meets the chosen carrier's requirements.

E-commerce box printing and custom production

SUPERBOX offers printing on standard e-commerce boxes and custom production solutions. The choice depends on the required dimensions, construction, order quantity and desired design.

Printing on standard e-commerce boxes

Standard boxes can be personalised with a company logo, brand elements or other graphics. Custom printing helps build brand recognition and create a consistent parcel appearance without changing the standard box construction.

• Minimum order quantity: typically starts at 50 units. The exact quantity depends on the box model and printing method.
• Production lead time: approximately 1–3 weeks, depending on seasonal demand and production capacity.
• Printing options: agreed according to the selected box, artwork and printing technology.

Custom e-commerce box production

If boxes from the standard range do not meet your needs, custom-made e-commerce boxes can be ordered. Their dimensions, construction, sealing solutions and printing are tailored to the products being packed and the shipping process.

• Indicative minimum order quantity: 2,000–4,000 units. The exact quantity depends on the box size, construction and production method.
• Production lead time: approximately 4–6 weeks, depending on the order specification and production methods.

Final quantities, pricing and production lead times are confirmed in an individual quotation.

Recycled materials and PPWR documentation

We hold technical documentation for E-POSTAL box models, including information on material composition and PPWR-related data. These properties apply to specific models, rather than all packaging in this category.

E-POSTAL-DP, E-POSTAL-KP, E-POSTAL-UP and E-POSTAL-BP boxes are made using 100% recycled materials: 24% pre-consumer and 76% post-consumer recycled content.

The technical documentation for these models states that water-based printing inks and varnish are used and that they contain no PFAS, SVHC, MOSH or MOAH. This information applies to the printing described in the documentation; materials used for additional custom printing are assessed separately.

For information on the composition of a specific packaging product, its FSC® label and available PPWR compliance documents, contact the SUPERBOX team.
