Big cardboard boxes?

[Vidar]

Any idea where you can buy big one cardboard boxes? I need something 880x420x680 mm and can't find anything on line that meets my requirements I need to ship a bulky item.

something i have done in the past is joining 2 smaller boxes, using a good amount of overlap and plenty of packing tape its pretty strong

Is it to put a big fish and a little fish in?

Your local bicycle shop may have a bike box close to that size that they'll give you.

I don't know if you have a "Mail Boxes Etc" near you but they will make up boxes for you. I had them make one for a PC tower once as I'd chucked out the original. Can't remember the price unfortunately.

Seems like most online companies won't do what you require or you have to order 250 boxes.

Could ask at a supermarket?

Go to local businesses who sell big stuff and ask if they have any spare boxes.

I find womens clothing shops have insane amounts of really good boxes.

Try one of the self-storage places?

Self store type places sell boxes, maybe worth asking there.

Thanks guys, I'll try your suggestions. Tried the self storage places and they don't have what I need.

Thats a bit of a "custom size" there, I can find boxes which exceed two of the three dimensions you've given but can find anything "of the shelf" that is close, but I can find boxes that are far, far bigger than than you need i.e. - https://www.cardboardboxes.co.uk/product/pallet-boxes-double-triple-tuff-wall-various-sizes/

This is the minimum thickness box, probably not ideal for shipping to someone else but its cheap -

But as its for shipping I'd consider a thicker (& more expensive) box like these Tri-wall which we used in the military for packaging -

That’s quite a URL they have there.
