Packaging supplier

[ehasler]

Can anyone recommend a reliable supplier of packaging materials in bulk quantities?

I'm after stuff like rolls of bubblewrap, plastic mailing bags and cardboard postage boxes in various sizes. I've just been let down by one supplier, so would be grateful for any recommendations.

Hate to say it, but ebay, look for the product and contact the sellers directly.

Used to ship in UK and EU a lot, and we dealt with a few different ebay-based companies. They were willing to deal on bulk purchases. I'll look through old contacts and see what I can find.

UK Pkg in Tottenham is your nearest large stockist packaging materials. All of what you mention is off the shelf and 24/48 hour delivery.

don't ask why, but we have some various packaging materials that we are looking to get rid off. All the bubble wrap has gone, but we have various types of bags, cutlery if that is of use.

We've been using www.dssmith-packaging.com for a number of years now. Good, reliable service and quality has been consistent.

PS We've only used them for boxes and retail bags. We used General Packaging in Bodmin for void fill and bubble wrap.

What do you classify as bulk?

1000 each of various sizes initially. I took Fergy's advice and found someone on ebay who had what I wanted, so hopefully they'll be able to sort me out. Thanks to everyone else who posted advice - will look them up if ebay doesn't do the trick.
