Affordable Used Cardboard Boxes

Our second hand cardboard boxes are ideal when you need reliable packaging without the cost of purchasing brand-new cartons. They can be used by businesses, warehouses, retailers, e-commerce sellers, removals companies and individuals.

Used boxes can be particularly useful for:

  • Moving house or office
  • Warehouse storage
  • E-commerce order fulfilment
  • Shipping and postal packaging
  • Retail and stock storage
  • General-purpose packaging
  • Packing household items

As these boxes have previously been used, their condition may vary. Boxes may show signs of previous use such as creases, marks, labels, tape residue or printing.

Second Hand Single Wall Cardboard Boxes

Our second hand single wall cardboard boxes provide a lightweight and economical packaging option for everyday storage, shipping and moving applications.

Single wall boxes contain one layer of corrugated fluting and are suitable for many light to medium-duty packaging requirements.

They can be a good choice for items such as clothing, books, shoes, household goods and general stock.

If you need additional strength, explore our double wall cardboard boxes.

Second Hand Double Wall Cardboard Boxes

Our second hand double wall cardboard boxes feature two layers of corrugated fluting, providing a stronger construction than single wall boxes.

They can be suitable for heavier products, stacking, storage and transportation where additional box strength is required.

The suitability of each box depends on its size, construction, condition and the items being packed.

Used Cardboard Boxes for Moving

Buying used moving boxes can be an economical option for house moves, office relocations and storage projects.

Instead of purchasing brand-new cartons for a one-off move, second hand boxes can provide an affordable way to pack clothing, books, kitchenware and other household belongings.

Second Hand Boxes for Businesses

For businesses that use large quantities of packaging, second hand cardboard boxes can help reduce packaging costs where used cartons are suitable for the application.

They can be used for:

  • Stock storage
  • Order fulfilment
  • Internal transportation
  • Returns
  • Warehouse organisation
  • Product packaging
  • General business use

Buying reusable packaging also helps extend the useful life of existing cardboard before it is recycled.

Choosing the Right Used Cardboard Box

When choosing a second hand box, consider:

Size: Measure the length, width and height of your product and allow enough room for suitable protective packaging.

Construction: Choose single wall for many general-purpose applications or double wall where additional strength may be required.

Condition: Check the product information and consider whether signs of previous use are acceptable for your application.
