#cubed boxes

Box Express are the cardboard box specialists who serve the nation with a swift, reliable and professional service, and are full of ideas of things to do with a cardboard box once it’s primary use has been exhausted.

They just love to hear ideas of things people do with the ones they sell after they’ve been uses for their original purpose. Once you have finished moving house you will feel awash with large boxes, extra-long boxes, corrugated boxes, in fact boxes of every kind. Maybe you’ll recycle some of them, or pass them on to a friend who has a box-related need, but how about getting creative with a few of them?

Get the Kids Involved

What are the best ways to combine getting children interested in nature, recycling and cardboard boxes at the same time?

How about helping them make birdhouses from cubed boxes then hanging them outside to see which birds they attract? This will give you and your children inspiration to watch the little fellows outside - hours of fun! Or if you don’t think your creations will withstand the weather, hang them inside your home for decoration - you can also make your own version of one of the birds you’ve spotted in your garden. There’s a great blog post on constructing Cardboard Bird Boxes by Wonderful DIY if you’re unsure where to start - http://wonderfuldiy.com/wonderful-diy-carboard-bird-house/.

This sounds like the sort of activity you would be invited to do at a National Trust craft day. Combine nature, spring and cardboard and give your children the chance to fill their days with eco-friendly fun as our gardens begin to burst back into life.

You could also use one of those left over boxes as a picnic hamper; if the box is a bit shabby from all its hard work, decorate it with stickers, wrapping paper or anything that the children fancy. But some boxes can just be admired for their honest brown-boxy beauty – fill your naked box with delicious treats, some cups and a thermos, take a rug from the car boot and sit in a lovely National Trust park and enjoy some quality time in the outdoors with your family.

Many of the packaging products and packing boxes at Box Express are large cardboard boxes partly made from recycled content, and are of course recyclable themselves. It is important to Box Express to consider their environmental impact in all they do so when they pack customers’ orders they try to minimise the outer packaging but are also careful to secure the products so they arrive safely.

There comes a point in our lives when we decide to move home, whether it be to downsize, fly the nest from your parents or for work commitments. Moving your entire contents can be a lengthy and draining process as you’re constantly between your two homes, unless of course you have a large moving van. Packing all of your belongings can be difficult too depending on how organised you are; some people just pack their car with bags and balance their furniture on the back seat, whereas other people like to store everything in boxes so they know where everything is, should they need to find it.

Here at Box Express we offer an extensive range of cardboard packing boxes suitable for when you are moving home.

We offer a range of large cardboard boxes which are perfect if you want to store many of your items in one box. For example, the cardboard boxes can be used for items of clothing especially the large tea chest boxes which is available in two quantities, five or ten box packs. They are also double-walled corrugated board to ensure maximise strength is provided to hold heavy and bulky items and the joints are stapled for added security. Further to this there are hand holes in the box making them easier to carry from one place to another.

We also offer large cubed boxes which again comes with stapled joints for added security when moving heavy items. The cubed boxes again have double-walled rigid corrugated board to improve the strength, meaning these boxes can be used time and time again due to the strength and durability of the boxes. All of the cubed boxes from Box Express are made with a minimum of 75% recycled materials making them eco-friendly products. The boxes are available in a range of sizes (50x50x50cm, 60x60x60cm, 70x70x70cm, 80x80x80cm, 90x90x90cm and 100x100x100cm), so you’re guaranteed to find the size that suits your requirements!
