Corrugated board made from renewable raw materials is recyclable and environmentally friendly

Our packages are made of sturdy and robust corrugated cardboard. Depending on the product, S, M, L or XL, they are 1-corrugated or 2-corrugated. Single wall means that the side walls, the bottom and the lid are made of one layer of corrugated cardboard with two covering surfaces against weather influences. Double wall corrugated cardboard, on the other hand, consists of two layers of single wall cardboard glued together and stabilized in the middle by a smooth paper layer. These double wall corrugated cardboards are designed for higher weights of up to 31, 5 kilograms.
The cardboard boxes for a parcel DHL are made of sustainable and recyclable materials. Corrugated cardboard is made exclusively from renewable raw materials. No healthy trees have to give up their lives for this; instead, the broken and thinned wood that accumulates in sustainably managed forests is used to make the corrugated board. But this only accounts for a share of about 20 percent. The majority of the raw material for corrugated board comes from waste paper, used corrugated board and cardboard. The adhesive used in the production of shipping packaging is also based on natural raw materials such as corn or potato starch. This means that by using our cardboard packaging for shipping, you are making a major contribution to protecting our environment.

Tips for buying shipping packages and cardboard boxes

If you want to hand over cardboard boxes and parcels to DHL and use them for shipping, you should pay attention to a few essential things. Our cardboard boxes and packaging meet the highest quality standards, are sustainable and robust. When buying, pay attention not only to the high quality, but also to the size and load capacity of the shipping packaging. On the one hand, what you want to send must fit comfortably in the box. Also consider that there is enough hollow space for possible padding and filling material.
Second, the price of shipping the package is crucial. Shipping service providers often calculate the cost based on the girth or roughly based on it. The girth of a package means the circumference, it is calculated from the longest length, twice the width + twice the height. For conventional packages, the maximum girth is 3 meters.
With the maximum allowed standard dimensions of the packages you are on the right side regarding the girth of all our cardboard boxes and outer packages. When selecting the shipping classes, you only need to pay attention to the maximum permissible weight.
Many of our cardboard boxes and outer packaging are available in fixed minimum order quantities at attractive package prices. However, you can also purchase some products in smaller quantities or as individual packages. Please pay attention to the minimum order quantity indicated on each product.
Packages can be purchased with a self-adhesive seal. Look in the product descriptions to see if these adhesive strips are included. If no self-adhesive seal is listed, you can also find suitable tear-proof adhesive tapes for sealing your shipment in our store.

DHL parcel S - 2 kg

Parcel S is made of brown and recyclable single wall corrugated board. In a corrugator (WPA), paper is heated, moistened and then formed. For this purpose, the moist thick paper is passed through corrugating rolls under pressure and at high heat. Both sides of the corrugated board are sealed with a top layer. The result is a stable and robust carton that protects goods and gets them safely to their destination.

The dimensions of the Standard Package S vary from 15 x 11 x 1 cm to 60 x 30 x 15 cm. It is important for parcels to be sent in size S at a shipping price of 5.49 euros that they must not be heavier than 2 kg when packed. If the S packages are heavier, you slip into the next higher shipping class of 6.99 euros.

This shipping box is particularly suitable for sending small products. The DHL package protects the corners and edges and prevents the goods and products being shipped in the package from buckling. In addition, the contents are well protected from environmental influences such as rain or snow.

In the shipment of a parcel of size S, tracking and liability for damage or loss up to 500 euros are included.

The S-size parcels are available in brown. The boxes are folding boxes, with pre-folded folding edges for easy packing. The self-adhesive lids mean you don't need any additional packing material like tape or string. The minimum order quantity is 25 pcs.

DHL package M - 5kg

Parcel M is ideal for goods shipments weighing up to 5kg. The boxes are made of single-wall and double-wall corrugated cardboard, which is particularly robust and stable. This corrugated board is also produced by heat and pressure in the corrugator. In contrast to single wall corrugated board, double wall corrugated board is more stable because here two corrugated layers are stabilized by an intermediate layer of smooth strong cardboard paper.

A shipping box of size M must not exceed a dimension of 120 x 60 x 60 centimeters. With our cardboard boxes for such a DHL parcel, you receive boxes that are perfectly matched to the requirements and specifications of the Deutsche Post shipping service provider in terms of both size and texture. With a maximum weight of 5 kg, you can send goods of medium size and weight safely and quickly at a price of 6.99 euros. Office supplies, garden accessories, plants, brochures, light books and many other things find their place here. The service of the standard shipment of a DHL-M package includes tracking and liability up to 500 euros.

The practical folding boxes are available in a neutral brown color. The material is recyclable and extremely robust. The goods are optimally protected from impacts and environmental influences by the stable single and double-wall design and the top layer. The minimum order quantity is 50 pcs.

DHL parcel L - 10 kg

Parcel L is particularly well suited for shipping heavy and/or large products and goods. Our cardboard boxes, which comply with the guidelines of the size M parcel, are made of 2-flute corrugated cardboard. For this purpose, single wall corrugated cardboard produced in the corrugator is joined together by means of a smooth intermediate layer of strong smooth paper. This makes the 2-wall corrugated board particularly stable and robust.
An L-size shipping box does not differ in its maximum dimensions from the M-package. The maximum dimensions are therefore 120 x 60 x 60 centimeters. However, it can have a maximum weight of 10 kg. An extremely stable bottom and reinforced side walls guarantee that heavy goods such as computer accessories, small pieces of furniture or heavy books reach their destination undamaged. The water-repellent material of the top surfaces protects against rain and snow. With additional packaging material such as bubble wrap, molded padding or corrugated cardboard rolls, you can further protect your shipped goods. Keep in mind that these also contribute to the total weight.
With a cardboard box for standard shipping, you not only get fast and secure delivery, but also additional services such as tracking and tracing and liability for theft, damage or loss of the shipping package up to 500 euros. If you would like to insure yourself to a higher standard, additional insurances up to a value of 25,000 euros are possible.
You receive our opaque and unbreakable cardboard boxes for the shipment of a DHL-M package from a minimum order quantity of 20 pieces. The cardboard boxes are delivered in a neutral brown color, are pre-folded and equipped with self-adhesive tapes. You simply detach these from the base and can seal your heavy parcel tightly.

DHL parcel XL - 31.5 kg

For really heavy goods or bundling individual parcels and orders into one large parcel, the XL size parcel is the best choice. The maximum dimensions here are 120 × 60 × 60 cm. Thus, the dimensions do not differ from parcels of shipping classes M or L. However, in this parcel class you can send goods weighing up to 31.5 kg. Packsets XL are therefore particularly suitable for heavy goods such as computers, network technology, heavy tools, garden equipment or furniture.
A prerequisite for sending goods with such a high weight by delivery service to customers, partners, friends and family is an extremely stable material of the packing cartons. This is given with the XL-DHL package by a robust 2-wall corrugated cardboard, from which the stable boxes are made. The walls of the package are made of two single wall corrugated cardboards, which are firmly glued together via a smooth middle web. The corrugated cardboard is formed by machine from damp thick paper. For this purpose, the paper is guided over corrugated rolls by means of pressure and high heat. In our shop you can find cardboard made of coarse or fine flute or a mix of different flute types. The different types of flute further increase the stability of the cardboard boxes.
Heavy, large products are optimally protected against transport damage in the DHL-standardized XL packages. Environmental influences such as rain, hail or snow cannot harm them. Additional protection is provided by filling materials such as air chamber bags and bubble wrap. If you want to do without plastic completely for recyclable and sustainable cardboard boxes, you can use filling materials such as corrugated cardboard, corrugated cardboard strips or paper wool.
The buckling-resistant, robust and tear-proof cardboard boxes in shipping standard XL can be ordered in different quantities. 1 pcs, 5 pcs, 10 pcs or 25 pcs are available as minimum order quantity depending on the product. The shipping boxes are opaque and in neutral brown.
Even when shipping a package of size XL, tracking and liability of up to 500 euros are part of the service. The cost is 16.49 euros domestically. This makes XL shipping particularly inexpensive and is especially suitable for sending several small packages stowed in a large cardboard box at a low price.
