Discover our affordable Deutsche Post packaging prices for shipping as a large letter to send small items at particularly low prices.
At Verpacking you can also buy affordable Deutsche Post packaging. Postal packaging includes, for example, folding bags, bubble envelopes, document envelopes & the large letter box optimised for this type of shipping. The cheapest way to send small items in Deutsche Post packaging is the large letter for goods weighing up to 500 g and Deutsche Post packaging prices for a large letter are not high either! The minimum dimensions are 10 × 7 cm, the maximum size is 35.3 × 25 × 2 cm. The contents are sent here in an envelope with a basic tracking & without exact delivery information. The purchase of an Internet stamp by online franking costs € 1.60 without liability. Example contents for sending in a large letter include an income tax return, a brochure or other documents with up to 95 A4 pages. But you can also send many other items in postal packaging! Only the dimensions and weight are important. The delivery time is one to two working days. The additional services include delivery with priority ("Prio") and registered mail in the variants "Einwurf", "Standard" and "Eigenhändig". The priority option offers tracking and tracing with a higher probability of delivery on the next working day at a surcharge of 1.10 €. The insert option for €2.35 is a legally binding form of delivery with documented delivery & tracking including a liability of up to €20. Standard delivery ensures personal delivery to the recipient with signature, is legally binding & includes liability up to €25. In addition, tracking with signature on a receipt is offered at a cost of €2.65. The additional option "hand-delivered" costs € 4.85 extra. It is offered as an additional option to registered mail and ensures personal delivery to the actual recipient.
Save postage when sending books and merchandise in different types of shipping packaging: whether in an envelope, in a shipping bag or in a folding carton
If you have small, light goods or a book to send, then you should rather buy packaging material Post. For books and goods with a total weight of up to 500 g, the postal packaging may be up to 35.3 × 25 × 5 cm. The item is sent in an envelope, in a mailing bag or in the packaging material Karton Post. The postage costs are € 1.95 for online franking. The delivery time is usually four working days, without liability & tracking. However, you can also get books and merchandise DHL packaging for items weighing up to 1000 g from us, which you can send under the same maximum dimensions & shipping characteristics for a price of 2.25 €. And the Post packaging prices are not high either!
Books and merchandise shipments can be handed in at any post office or dropped into any letterbox. That's why their transport packaging is often referred to as a Deutsche Post packaging box or mailing bag. However, there is no such thing as a Deutsche Post packaging box. The actual delivery is usually handled by the DHL subsidiary, because the books and merchandise items, with their thickness of up to 5 cm, do not fit into a standard letterbox slot with a height of 4 cm. Conversely, this also means that a books and goods shipment can be addressed to a Packstation. The crucial point remains: When you send a books and merchandise item, you benefit from one of Deutsche Post's low packaging prices and can send your items cheaply and quickly by dropping them in the letterbox. So it's worth it in any case to choose Deutsche Post packaging!
Small parcels S and M with many additional services
For smaller items, we recommend sending your DHL packaging at a good price as an uninsured small parcel. DHL Paket shipping is available in two sizes - S or M - for shipments up to 2 kg total weight. Package size S has minimum dimensions of 15 × 11 × 1 cm and maximum dimensions of 35 × 25 × 10 cm. The delivery time is usually one to two working days, the shipping price is € 3.99. In contrast to pack size S, the maximum dimensions for size M are 60 × 30 × 15 cm. A shipment of pack size M costs € 4.79. Additional services that can be booked when sending a parcel are dispatch as a roll, collection of the consignment or a forwarding service. There is a surcharge of €1.79 for shipping in rolls, and this is only possible for M-size parcels. If the parcel is franked online, there is the option of having it collected conveniently from home for an extra €3. This service is free of charge for a minimum of four items per shopping basket. A forwarding service costs €6.99 per shipment.
Send parcels weighing up to 31.5 kg at a low price with our DHL packaging material
Parcels can be sent in various sizes within the scope of DHL rates. Parcels weighing up to 2 kg have a maximum size of 60 × 30 × 15 cm. Delivery is possible within one to two working days and costs €5.49. The price includes tracking & liability up to €500. Parcels weighing up to 5, 10 or 31.5 kg each have a maximum size of 120 × 60 × 60 cm. The price scale is € 6.99 for 5 kg, € 9.49 for 10 kg or € 16.49 for up to 31.5 kg - each including VAT. For parcels with particularly valuable goods, additional transport insurance is offered. This is paid out in the event of loss or damage to the goods, even if the sender is not responsible. For a sum insured of € 2,500, the cost of the insurance is € 6.00, for a sum of € 25,000 it is an additional € 18.00. Other additional services when sending parcels are sending as bulky goods at a cost of € 26.78 or age verification with exclusion of handing over the parcel to minors for € 1.19 extra, sending from Monday to Saturday within only one delivery day for an extra charge of € 0.99, sending with cash on delivery for € 6.90 or forwarding for a charge of € 6.99. The girth is another criterion for the shipping class of the parcel. For parcels weighing up to 5 or 10 kg, an additional restriction applies in addition to the dimensions in the form of a girth with length + 2x width + 2x height equal to a maximum of 300 cm. If this value is exceeded, a bulky goods surcharge is levied by the parcel service on the shipping packaging. It therefore makes sense to pre-sort the cardboard boxes according to postage.

The formats of the shipments are suitable for different goods. The size as well as the dimensions of the package contents are decisive in choosing the right shipping packaging.

How does the DHL Group differ from other shipping service providers?
The biggest difference between the many other shipping service providers and the DHL Group is the criteria that determine the price of a shipment. A large number of shipping service providers calculate the postage costs using the sum of the longest and shortest box sides of the packaging. The DHL Group, on the other hand, calculates the costs from the exact edge lengths as well as the girth. Another advantage of the shipper is an additional service that not all shipping service providers offer: the delivery of shipments on Saturdays without an extra charge. According to the Deutsche Post boss, the company also employs 98 percent of its own delivery staff for the parcel division. So unlike other service providers, it does not rely on hiring subcontractors.
You are looking for shipping packaging DHL also offers its own packaging in its online shop. However, you should know that DHL packaging prices are often much higher than elsewhere. At Verpacking, you can also find high-quality, customised shipping boxes at a much lower price! Of course, this also applies if you want to use special packaging material to finish off your mail,
You've carefully packed everything in DHL packaging material? It's so easy to frank your parcels or packages online.
When Dalsey, Hillblom & Lynn founded the shipping service provider, it was not foreseeable that one day you would be able to buy stamps online and print them yourself. Today, you have the option to frank your parcel online. Simply create your stamp on the website or in the app and print it out. Then hand in the parcel at a branch, a parcel shop, a delivery service or a Packstation for dispatch. By franking online, you save money and can pay without cash in a variety of ways. If you drop off your shipment directly at the delivery service or at a Packstation, you don't need a printer for the shipping label. You will receive a QR code on your smartphone after completing the online franking process, which you only need to scan when dropping off the parcel. The Packstation, the delivery person or the branch employee will then print the shipping label for you. It is then affixed to the top of the parcel. You still have the option of buying shipping labels online. Please note that small packages or parcels may not be franked with stamps.
What you should bear in mind when sending your packaging DHL Kartonagen
When sending cardboard boxes as parcels, small packages or merchandise shipments, you should follow a few tips. First of all, adhere to the size and weight specifications for the shipment to avoid unnecessary additional costs. Make sure that the carton does not have any protruding parts or uneven surfaces. The box must have a certain stability and must be intact. It is therefore best to use new, unused cardboard boxes for shipping. Use shipping accessories to adequately protect the contents of the shipment from external influences and to secure the goods in the package. Place heavy items at the bottom of the box and lighter items at the top. Particularly sensitive contents should be secured in the middle with aids such as air cushion foil. Do not attach loose strapping to the package. If you decide to reuse old cardboard packaging, remove all old barcodes and address labels. If labelling the parcel by hand, use pre-printed labels from the sender, which are available at the shop. Make sure that the handwriting is legible so that the data can be read by machine without any problems. This will prevent delays in delivery. Stick the label with the address details legibly onto the cardboard surface - not over edges. As a precaution, also place a note with all the important shipment information inside the package, in case the outside labelling becomes unrecognisable for some reason during the shipping process. This will ensure that the parcel is sent to the correct address, even if the worst comes to the worst. Properly seal the package with adhesive tape or by wire stapling. An adhesive tape of at least 5 cm width is recommended, preferably with tear-resistant properties made of reinforced material. If necessary, use the tape several times on the edges and lid to make the DHL packaging box ready for shipping. Special attention should be paid to proper closure to ensure delivery in perfect condition. Make sure that the box construction looks sturdy so that the goods inside are adequately protected.
At verpacking.com you can get postal packaging made of cardboard or plastic with matching shipping accessories to protect your shipment.
For secure shipping, you need to buy more than just DHL packaging: At verpacking.com, you can get the right shipping accessories to protect your shipments. Some of the most popular shipping accessories include bubble wrap, delivery note bags, tape & cutter knives. Cushioning materials such as packing chips or air pillows help to adequately protect fragile items from damage. Large-diameter bubble wrap is ideal for filling gaps in the package & securing the contents. With the help of a cutter knife, the film supplied on a roll can be cut as required. Easy handling as well as stable and tear-resistant properties give the bubble wrap an effective protection of the package contents against external influences. A self-adhesive delivery note pocket is recommended as weather protection for shipping documents. The sleeve is transparent & easy to attach to the box. Wide wet adhesive tape facilitates professional sealing of the package. With weather-resistant properties as well as strong adhesion and yet easy removal of the tape after use, it is ideal for sealing shipments. An automatic tape dispenser makes it easy to use. Use air cushions to fill the spaces inside the package. This way you cushion the contents for damage-free transport. Air cushions are available in milky or transparent versions. They are often made from recycled material. Another filling material is packaging chips made of polystyrene. The material is water-repellent & it regulates the humidity in the packaging. The material is resistant to germs as well as bacteria. Thus it offers good protection of the goods.
The eight basic types of packaging according to the internationally valid FEFCO-ESBO Code
Before you can buy packaging material with a clear conscience, you should familiarise yourself with the FEFCO codes. Most of the packaging used in Germany is made of corrugated board. The type of packaging is classified according to the internationally valid FEFCO-ESBO code. Each type of carton has a four-digit code number that provides information about the type of construction as well as the closure of the carton. The first two digits of the code determine the basic type of packaging. There are eight basic types of corrugated or solid board according to the FEFCO catalogue. Type 01 are commercially available pre-cut rolls or sheets, they are the basic type of packaging. Type 02 are folding boxes or crates made from a single piece of corrugated board. The cardboard box is folded flat & delivered ready to use. The carton is assembled using wire stitching, flap gluing or tape. The openings with base & lid each have four closing flaps. This type of packaging is one of the classic variants, which is why it is used particularly frequently. FEFCO code 03 designates lid & telescope boxes. They consist of two parts, the top and the bottom, which are turned inside each other. The boxes are particularly suitable for shipping fashion articles. Folded sleeves as well as trays have the designation 04. The cardboard box is composed of a blank with side slits or clamp closures. The bottom is closed throughout, the lid as well as the side walls are attached to the bottom. This type of packaging is used for flat goods such as books or calendars. FEFCO code 05 designates sliding or belt boxes with several ring inserts as well as sleeves that are pushed into each other for fastening. They are used as carton reinforcements for shipping electronic components. Form-fitting boxes with the code 06 have two side parts and a centre part for the base & lid of the cardboard box. By means of gluing or wire stitching, the middle part & side parts are joined. FEFCO type 07 designates ready glued boxes in the form of folding bottom boxes or erecting boxes. This type of shipping packaging is easy to erect. It is therefore suitable for shipping in many areas. Interior fittings for boxes have the code 09. These include inserts, inserts, padding or even partitions. They are supplied as separate elements & can be firmly attached to the cardboard box. You can buy almost any packaging for this purpose. The individual parts of the interior of the cardboard box are intended for shipping fragile or sensitive goods such as glass bottles. It sounds complicated at first, but you can be sure: On this page, every packaging box is guaranteed to be DHL compatible and you will also find a lot of post packaging material.
