Buy GLS carton: Our packaging has just the right dimensions for cheap shipping

If you frequently send goods with GLS shipping, you don't have time to think about the right parcel size for each shipment. Which parcel size will save me the most postage? Which is more suitable for the respective shipment? With our packaging material, these annoying questions are a thing of the past.

The solution is our GLS parcels in the dimensions of the shipping tariffs. With these shipping boxes, specially optimised for shipping with the GLS parcel service provider, companies save themselves the comparison and selection and thus time and money. These GLS parcels always take into account the respective GLS box dimensions (maximum side lengths and girth dimensions). This means that postage is never higher than necessary just because the shipping box is a centimetre longer.

Use the optimised cardboard boxes if you often ship with GLS rates. In addition, you can also find perfectly fitting boxes for other shipping providers on the website, such as DHL boxes and DPD boxes.

You can find suitable packages for GLS shipping and other shipping service providers in our shop.

Like other parcel service providers, the GLS Group offers various parcel sizes for shipping goods. The selection ranges from XS parcels to XL parcels, so there are a total of five sizes to choose from. Unlike Hermes and DHL, for example, UPS, the GLS Group and DPD do not have their own parcels in their range. At verpacking.com you can find suitable folding boxes for shipping with the shipping service provider of your choice.

Cartons for parcel classes differ for the GLS tariff according to the maximum permissible dimensions: The longest side and the shortest side are added together to form a girth dimension. For example, a maximum overall parcel size of 35 cm, 50 cm, 70 cm, 90 cm or a maximum girth of 300 cm is permitted for your shipments.

Efficient workflows with our practical folding boxes: The advantages of our GLS boxes

Do you value optimised, simple packaging materials? Then our GLS boxes are the right solution for you too. Even large parcels can be sent easily with GLS shipping. Parcels weighing up to 40 kg cannot be sent as a normal standard parcel by any other parcel service. We have summarised the other advantages of GLS parcel shipping for you here. The simple construction of the folding boxes is just as convincing as the high quality of the material used for their manufacture. In addition, the GLS boxes are real all-rounders that not only look good during transport. The boxes are also suitable for safely storing your goods after they have arrived. Thanks to the large variety of formats in our range, you will find the right product for every occasion.

As an experienced company, we place great value on particularly high quality. Not only our GLS boxes, but also all other products in our webshop impress with their tested quality. Your parcels are exposed to numerous stresses during transport. Dirt, moisture, sudden impacts and temperature changes can damage the goods in transit. We rely on resistant materials that reliably protect against these influences. In addition to the right choice of material, the processing also has a significant influence on the product quality. Through transparent work processes in our production facilities, we ensure that our GLS boxes and all other packaging are handled with the utmost care.

High-quality packaging does not have to be expensive. This is proven by our GLS boxes, which convince with high quality at an affordable price. Sustainability is an important issue for you and your customers. That's why you should use recyclable cardboard packaging. Our GLS packaging is recyclable and therefore an environmentally friendly solution.

What shipping rates does the GLS Group offer and how big can my parcels be?

Here you can find the right packaging to send your goods as cheaply as possible according to GLS rates. Unlike most other shipping providers, the different shipping rates are only classified according to size. Suitable GLS carton dimensions enable safe and inexpensive shipping - insured and with shipment tracking.

With shipping in GLS cartons, you can send your goods with tracking and transport insurance up to 750 euros. Whether you choose the XS shipping option or the XL rate, the maximum weight is the same for all shipping rates and is 40 kg, as is the amount of insurance. The dimensions of the box are decisive for the rate at which your parcel is sent. The longest and shortest sides of your parcel are added together.

For the parcel to be sent as GLS Paket XS, the sum of these two sides must not exceed 35 cm (costs € 3.50), for the delivery option Paket S, the sum of both sides must not exceed 50 cm (costs € 4.30), if the longest and shortest sides of the parcel together are 70 cm, you are sending the Paket M tariff (costs € 5.40). When sending GLS Paket L, the total dimension of both sides is up to 90 cm.

Parcel XL is an exception. With this rate, the longest and shortest sides of the parcel are not added together. Instead, the so-called circumference is decisive, which may not exceed 300 cm. The circumference is calculated as follows: (width + height) x 2 + length. Finally, if you are using GLS shipping, your parcel must not weigh more than 40 kg. Length, width and height must not exceed 200 cm, 80 cm and 60 cm respectively, and the circumference must not exceed 300 cm.

To make it as easy as possible for you, we have already divided our boxes into different postal delivery classes of the parcel service provider. This way you always have an overview of the shipping costs.

Especially for important mail or personal birthday packages, it is important that they reach the recipient undamaged and on time. Thanks to GLS tracking, you can always keep an eye on your parcel and ensure that it is delivered reliably and quickly.

Pack your parcel correctly with these packing tips

To ensure that your parcel reaches the recipient safely, it is also important to pack it correctly. For this reason, we have put together some helpful packing tips to protect your items during transport.

A box made of high-quality and moisture-resistant corrugated cardboard with at least two layers will protect your packages optimally. Sufficiently large boxes have enough space for the load and the inner padding. When packing the package, make sure to protect surfaces, corners and edges. Only use used cardboard boxes for insensitive items.

A secure closure is a prerequisite for safe transport. Wrap the shipping box with tape and seal all sides securely. The heavier or larger the package, the stronger the packing tape must be. Fill all the cavities inside completely with cushioning material. Securely fix the product in the package. Match the filler exactly to the goods you are shipping. For heavy and shock-sensitive loads, it is advisable to use custom-made EPS mouldings. You can wrap light goods in bubble wrap so that there is no direct contact between the product and the outer packaging of the package.

Always attach the shipping label to the largest side of the package. Remove old labels or return labels. Send correctly packed parcels individually, as each parcel gets its own label. Please note the maximum weight and maximum package size for all shipments.

Some items such as cash, medication or perishable goods cannot be sent with the GLS parcel carrier. You can find a complete list of these prohibited items in the shipping company's General Terms and Conditions.

The GLS cardboard box is the ideal packaging for your parcels and is available from us at Verpacking.com in sizes XS, S, M, L and XL.

Folding corrugated cardboard boxes with the right accessories for secure GLS shipping

Do not forget: You should also buy the packaging accessories for your GLS parcel at the same time. In addition to the right folding box in the right size and weight, it is also important for GLS shipping that the goods inside the package are protected.

Often the product to be shipped does not fill the maximum volume of the packaging and can therefore be fixed in the packaging with filling material. Whether bubble wrap, packing chips, shredded paper or other filling materials should be used for this depends on the product. At verpacking.com you can buy the right packaging accessories for your GLS parcel to protect it optimally during shipping.

This way, the sender can be sure that the parcel will arrive safely at the recipient by the GLS courier, but also by other postal service providers such as DHL, DPD, UPS or Hermes. We offer you additional products to cushion your products online. This ensures that your GLS parcel arrives undamaged at the buyer's or recipient's door.

At verpacking.com you will find suitable parcels for these GLS parcel classes

Parcel class XS includes all parcels whose shortest and longest sides together do not exceed 350 mm. As a specialist for shipping and packaging materials, we have adapted to all the possibilities of our customers with all the storage options, transport routes and our range of products. Thanks to our many years of experience, we know how much the shipper depends on XS size boxes that are always available and, above all, perfect.

Class S packages include all packages whose shortest and longest sides together are a maximum of 500 mm. Depending on the intended use, you will find single-wall folding boxes of size S for light and medium goods or double-wall boxes for heavier loads here in the online shop. In addition, as you know, transport costs are not only determined by the weight, but also by the size of the boxes: Care should be taken to ensure that the dimensions of the packaging are as small as possible in relation to the product. A few centimetres and even a few grams can sometimes lead to significantly higher postage or shipping costs.

Class M parcels include all parcels whose shortest and longest sides together do not exceed 700 mm. As a private customer, you benefit from our extensive range of services. Do you want to organise a move? Our GLS M-size packaging is ideal for this, as it is particularly easy to pack and stack. After all, some personal items require different containers than large, sometimes oversized moving boxes due to their weight.

Class L parcels include all parcels whose shortest and longest sides together are a maximum of 900 mm. By GLS L-size shipping boxes, we mean boxes that are optimally sized for this service provider. Our offers are designed in such a way that the cartons always remain in the cheaper packaging class only. This is made possible by the ideal dimensions in length, width and height.

Packages in the XL class include all packages with a maximum girth of 3000 mm. The girth is calculated from the circumference of the parcel plus its longest side. Basically, you can use XL-size boxes with as large a volume as possible. Depending on the goods to be shipped, simply select the appropriate boxes with the required dimensions. In any case, with our GLS boxes you will achieve the perfect ratio of size and postage.
