Carton sizes by shipping provider

Cardboard box sizes according to shipping providers help you optimise shipping costs and ship smoothly with DHL, DPD, Hermes & Co. Each shipping class has its own specifications for dimensions, weight and price – and that's exactly why we offer many fixed box sizes that are optimally tailored to the respective service providers. In addition, you can also configure your boxes individually and print on the entire surface if required – for efficient shipping and a professional brand image.

Frequently asked questions

How much weight can the corrugated board withstand?
We recommend our E flute primarily for product packaging or for shipping packaging with a low shipping weight. We recommend our B flute for large product packaging or for shipping packaging with a medium shipping weight. We recommend our EB flute exclusively for large shipping boxes with a heavy shipping weight.
  • E flute: up to 7 kilos
  • B flute: up to 14 kilos
  • EB flute: up to 32 kilos
Do I have to pay for the punching tool again if I order again?

No, you only need to pay for the punching tool once when you place your first order. This amount will no longer be displayed in the configurator for subsequent orders.

What do I have to consider when creating my print data?
To create the print data for your folding box, you need to follow some instructions. Please note the following information:

to the print data instructions
What do I need a protective coating for and what is his function?
A protective coating has various functions. On the one hand, it protects your print image from external influences such as scratches, liquids or dirt, and on the other hand, it ensures an even more beautiful print image with a glossy or optional matte look.
I would like a particularly small shipping box - what do I need to consider?
In our configurator you can configure both very large and very small shipping boxes. All sizes that can be manufactured from a technical point of view can be configured. Depending on the size and material, however, there may be problems in handling and packaging. Above all, we recommend the EB flute exclusively for medium to large cartons.
Can I choose a neutral return address?
We have optimized our order process especially for resellers and offer you the possibility that we send your orders neutral (without our branding on package or delivery bill) to your customers. Simply select "Neutral shipping / delivery bill" in the order process / check-out.

What are carton sizes by shipping company?

Until the end of 1997, Deutsche Post had a complete shipping monopoly. Every letter, every small package, every parcel could only be transported via this state-owned shipping company. By January 1, 2008, this monopoly was fundamentally reformed, and the entire postal market here was liberalized. Anyone who has something to send today can therefore choose completely freely from a large number of mail order companies operating in this country. The most important providers for the mail order business are:

  • DHL
  • DPD
  • GLS
  • Hermes
  • UPS

As already mentioned at the beginning, each of these shipping companies divides its packages into different classes. These are defined by three core elements:

  • the maximum dimensions of the shipping boxes,
  • the maximum weight per package (class) and
  • the associated shipping costs.

The challenge: Each shipping service provider defines its own benchmarks for different reasons. The fact that some of them calculate shipping costs based on a variety of different variables does not make the choice any easier. Here you can distinguish not only by dimensions and weight, but also by delivery location, for example. The cartons by shipping company from packaging warehouse are your key to efficiently adapt to the confusing offer of the mail order companies.

Boxes by shipping service provider: individuality in standard shipping

When shipping goods, the entire process should be fast and smooth. Your product should be securely packed in a shipping box and then sent to the recipient without extra work and, above all, cost-efficiently. Our boxes by shipping company guarantee you a smooth process. No matter how many of these service providers you work with and how many packages you ship. This gives you three advantages and options:

  • You can order larger quantities of boxes and be sure that they always comply with the respective specifications of the shipping companies.
  • All of our boxes by shipping company are customizable and fully printable. This makes your product stand out from the competition at every stage of shipping.
  • At packaging warehouse you can choose from different types of corrugated cardboard. This way you always get the perfect product that exactly fits your requirements in terms of resilience and design. No matter what you are shipping: Your package is optimally protected against all external influences that can affect your shipment during shipping.

In addition, we have designed all our shipping boxes with maximum focus on sustainability. Each model is made from 99 percent recycled paper and is fully recyclable and compostable.

Cartons by shipping service provider from packaging warehouse: As high quality and individual as your requirements

The boxes from packaging warehouse can be easily configured according to the specifications of the respective shipping service provider. This saves you time and money. Our cardboard boxes also offer other advantages:
Maximum individuality
We offer you our smart configurator for every carton and the possibility to professionally check your print data. You therefore always get exactly what you want - in the highest individuality and quality.
Express production
Whether short production peaks or other unforeseen events: With the express production option, we manufacture your shipping boxes within 5 business days and send them to you within 2 more business days. This way, your order will be with you in 7 business days at the latest - that's a promise!
High quality materials
We use corrugated cardboard made in Europe for all our boxes. In addition, you can choose from a variety of flutes that differ in terms of load capacity and design options. So you always get the best result - and always cost-efficient.
Cheap small run
Start-ups in particular, who are in the market entry phase with their products, require smaller quantities of shipping cartons. We can also meet these requirements and offer short runs from 1 piece - cost-efficient and high-quality.
You have questions about our shipping boxes or other products? Our customer service is looking forward to your call.

Cartons by shipping service provider: what cardboard box size do I need?

For the shipping companies, it has various advantages to set up their own rules for the packages and their classes. This applies, for example, to their margin regarding quantities or the necessary handling and transport space. So that you don't have to familiarize yourself with these often changing specifications again and again, we'll do it for you. On the following pages, you will therefore find all the relevant specifications of the most important transport companies operating in Germany. The tables give you an exact overview regarding dimensions, weight and shipping costs of the respective packages and shipping methods.

Cartons by shipping provider FAQ: Our answers to your most important questions

Why do shipping companies only release their prices for business customers upon request?

The main reason for this is that every business customer has different demands. For example, a small store that only ships things occasionally is a less demanding and profitable customer for a shipping company than a large e-commerce company that sometimes orders hundreds of packages every day. The shipping companies calculate individually on the basis of such a shipping volume and can therefore hardly quote blanket prices. However, the private customer prices are a useful orientation possibility.

Do the free formats at packaging warehouse also apply to boxes by shipping company?

Yes, because the shipping companies only specify maximum dimensions for their different classes. As long as your box is within the dimensional range of a particular package class without slipping into the next smaller or larger class, you are completely free to determine the dimensions of your shipping package.

Can I post boxes that I ordered from packaging warehouse specifically for cooperation with a shipping company with another shipping company?

As long as the boxes are within the dimensional and weight specifications of the second shipping company, there is nothing to stop you. Just check out our tables on the different shipping providers and their services..

Our Customer service team consists of trained packaging professionals. Feel free to contact them with any of your questions!
