Ecommerce/Diecut Boxes

Ecommerce/Diecut Boxes

Ecommerce has been around a lot longer than you think! The world’s first mail order business was set up by Sir Pryce Pryce-Jones in 1861 in Newtown in Wales, UK. He sold woollen and fabric products worldwide using the latest technology of the day – the postal system and the railway!

Online shopping was invented in 1979 by Michael Aldrich in the UK. He hooked up a modified TV to a transaction-processing computer via a (landline!) telephone line. This “teleputer” technology made it possible to transmit payment data securely and became the foundation for modern ecommerce.

Cardboard was first invented in China in the 15th Century, but the paperboard we recognise these days as cardboard was invented in 1817 by an English company called M. Treverton & Son. But it wasn’t until 1879 that Robert Gair discovered how to mass produce cardboard boxes that they became a popular method of packaging.

In 2023, a total of 140.73 million parcels were delivered in Ireland. 30% came from foreign businesses to Irish addresses while 63% were from Irish businesses to Irish addresses. While some of these parcels may be padded envelopes or mailing bags, a lot of them are likely to be cardboard boxes!

At Box Depot, our pre-loved cardboard boxes are a fantastic eco-friendly choice! Our range of ecommerce boxes can make shipping your products, especially with An Post, very easy!

FAQ

Need to ship your orders quickly and securely?

Our ecommerce cardboard boxes will protect the products you ship!

Can I order larger quantities/pallet quantities?

Absolutely! You can phone or email Box Depot who will be happy to provide you with bulk-quantity pricing.

I can’t see the size of box that I require?

The ecommerce boxes listed on the Box Depot website are those that we have discovered are the most popular. Our suppliers manufacture many more sizes, so if there is a particular sized ecommerce box you require, please contact us and we can source it for you. Please note that Minimum Order Quantities will apply.

Do you offer custom printing?

Custom printed packaging is desirable for every business. But a lot of processes to add colour to packaging can make them unrecyclable. Box Depot believe packaging should be as ecofriendly and sustainable as possible, so we do not offer custom printing.

Box Depot is happy to supply to both individuals and businesses. You are not required to register an account before placing an order with us.
We offer an Express Checkout option on our website. We do ask for your email address so we can confirm your order and dispatch information.
