Small Business Packaging Kit

Our Small Business Packaging Kit combines ten useful packaging products into one starter bundle for online retailers, market traders and growing businesses.

The kit contains 50 postal boxes, 50 grey mailing bags and 40 padded envelopes in several practical sizes. Therefore, sellers can choose an outer package that matches the dimensions, shape and protection requirements of each order.

A 1mm foam roll provides additional surface protection, while the clear and brown parcel tapes help assemble and close compatible cartons. Furthermore, the reusable 50mm tape gun makes repetitive box sealing quicker and more convenient.

The products have a combined supplied value of £59.30. However, the complete bundle has a suggested selling price of £53.95 + VAT, providing a saving of £5.35 or approximately 9%.

Small Business Packaging Kit Specifications

Small Business Packaging Kit Choosing the Correct Packaging

Choose an outer package that fits the product without forcing, crushing or leaving excessive empty space.

Consider the product’s:

• Width
• Length
• Height
• Shape
• Weight
• Fragility
• Surface finish
• Resistance to bending
• Required presentation
• Delivery method

A larger package does not automatically provide better protection. Excessive empty space can allow products to move during handling, while an undersized package may place strain on seams, closures or box panels.

Add suitable internal protection whenever the product could become scratched, bent, crushed or damaged by impact.

Letterbox Boxes

The kit includes 25 letterbox boxes measuring 218 x 160 x 20mm, approximately 8.6 x 6.3 x 0.8 inches.

Their slim profile suits compact products that do not require the depth of a standard postal box. Potential applications include:

• Cards and printed products
• Slim accessories
• Small craft items
• Product samples
• Flat stationery
• Compatible jewellery boxes
• Compact promotional products
• Other suitably sized lightweight goods

Measure the completely packed item before use. Protective wrapping and product depth reduce the available internal space.

No board grade or maximum carrying weight has been specified. Therefore, test the assembled box with the intended contents before beginning regular dispatch.

White Hinged-Lid Boxes

The 25 white hinged-lid boxes measure 139.7 x 127 x 50.8mm, approximately 5.5 x 5 x 2 inches.

Their white appearance creates a clean presentation for small retail, gift and e-commerce products. Meanwhile, the hinged lid supports quick packing and opening.

These boxes may suit:

• Jewellery and accessories
• Cosmetics
• Handmade products
• Small gifts
• Wax melts
• Product samples
• Craft items
• Promotional products

Use tissue paper, foam or another suitable protective material when the contents require additional surface or impact protection.

Small Grey Mailing Bags

The bundle contains 25 small grey mailing bags measuring 120 x 170mm with a 40mm lip.

This equals approximately 4.7 x 6.7 inches with a 1.6-inch lip.

The compact size suits suitable flexible or non-fragile items, including:

• Small textile accessories
• Soft craft products
• Lightweight stationery
• Small promotional items
• Customer samples
• Compact non-breakable products

Product thickness reduces the usable internal dimensions. Consequently, measure the complete packed item rather than relying only on its flat width and height.

Medium Grey Mailing Bags

The kit also includes 25 grey mailing bags measuring 230 x 300mm with a 50mm lip.

This equals approximately 9.1 x 11.8 inches with a 2-inch lip.

The larger format provides more room for:

• Folded clothing
• Fabric products
• Soft accessories
• Craft supplies
• Non-fragile retail orders
• Multiple lightweight products

Mailing bags provide flexible outer packaging but do not offer rigid impact protection. Use a postal box or padded envelope when the product could bend, break or become crushed.

Bubblelite 2/B Padded Envelopes

The kit contains 20 Bubblelite 2/B padded envelopes measuring 120 x 215mm, approximately 4.7 x 8.5 inches.

Their padded construction provides light cushioning for compatible small products. Therefore, they can suit items requiring more protection than an unpadded mailing bag.

Potential applications include:

• Small accessories
• Jewellery in suitable inner packaging
• Electronic accessories
• Small components
• Craft products
• Product samples
• Compatible cosmetics
• Promotional items

The padding does not provide guaranteed crush, puncture or impact protection. Use a rigid box where the product requires greater protection.

Bubblelite 6/F Padded Envelopes

The 20 Bubblelite 6/F padded envelopes measure 220 x 335mm, approximately 8.7 x 13.2 inches.

This larger size accommodates compatible books, documents, accessories and small boxed products.

Always measure the complete item, including any internal wrapping. A rigid or thick product may require more clearance than a flat item with similar dimensions.

Do not overfill the envelope or force a product through the opening.

Pre-Cut Foam Roll

The bundle includes one foam roll measuring:

• 1mm thick – approximately 0.04 inches
• 1000mm wide – approximately 39.4 inches
• 10m long – approximately 32.8 feet

The roll format allows businesses to cut sections that match different products rather than working with one fixed sheet size.

The foam can help:

• Wrap suitable products
• Protect delicate surfaces
• Separate compatible items
• Reduce light rubbing
• Line boxes
• Cover corners and edges
• Add a presentation layer
• Fill small spaces

Foam provides light surface protection rather than heavy-duty impact cushioning. Use bubble wrap, corrugated cardboard or another suitable material where greater protection remains necessary.

Clear and Brown Parcel Tape

The kit contains two 48mm x 66m parcel-tape rolls:

• One clear roll
• One brown roll

Each roll measures approximately 1.9 inches wide x 216.5 feet long. Together, they provide 132 metres, or approximately 433 feet, of tape.

The clear tape preserves the visibility of compatible printing underneath it. Meanwhile, the brown tape creates a traditional carton-sealing appearance on kraft cardboard boxes.

Apply the tape to clean, dry and compatible surfaces. Dust, moisture, cold temperatures and heavily coated cardboard may reduce adhesion.

Budget Tape Gun

The included tape gun accepts compatible parcel tape up to approximately 50mm or 2 inches wide.

The handheld dispenser allows users to apply, press and cut parcel tape in one continuous movement. Consequently, it can make repetitive carton sealing quicker than applying tape and cutting it separately.

The tape gun includes a sharp cutting blade. Therefore:

• Keep fingers away from the cutting edge
• Cut the tape away from the body
• Store the dispenser safely
• Keep it away from children
• Inspect it before use
• Stop using it if any component becomes damaged

Tape colours shown on or inside the dispenser are for illustration unless the product contents specifically state otherwise.

How to Pack an Order

1. Measure the product after adding any inner packaging.
2. Choose the smallest suitable box, mailer or padded envelope.
3. Inspect the packaging before use.
4. Wrap delicate surfaces with foam where required.
5. Place the product inside without forcing it.
6. Fill excessive empty space with suitable protective material.
7. Close the package securely.
8. Apply parcel tape to cartons where necessary.
9. Add the delivery label to a clean, flat surface.
10. Check that barcodes remain visible and easy to scan.
11. Inspect the complete parcel before dispatch.

Follow the packaging requirements supplied by the chosen postal or courier service.

Packaging for Small Businesses

This mixed bundle allows new and growing businesses to test several packaging formats without purchasing large quantities of every product.

It can particularly benefit businesses that sell products with different shapes and sizes. For example, a jewellery business may use the hinged-lid boxes for presentation, padded envelopes for dispatch and foam for surface protection.

Meanwhile, a clothing or craft business can use the grey mailing bags for flexible products and letterbox boxes for flatter orders.

Once the most frequently used formats become clear, the business can order larger quantities of the individual products.

Keep the kit away from:

• Direct sunlight
• Excessive heat
• Extreme cold
• Moisture and condensation
• Naked flames
• Sharp objects
• Strong chemicals
• Oils and grease

Remove parcel tape, labels, foam and other incompatible materials before placing cardboard into an appropriate recycling collection.

Recycling options for mailing bags, padded envelopes, foam and parcel tape vary between local authorities. Therefore, follow the guidance supplied by your local council or commercial waste provider.
