Hi all. Very random question. But don’t know anyone that could help, so giving it here a try because who knows, someone might know something.
I am trying to start a business selling some stuff I 3D print.
Need to package it for shipping. Ideally I would like to have small cardboard boxes custom made to measure. We are talking something the size of an A4 and up to 10cm tall, not massive stuff. Should be decent quality but not fancy. We are talking about a £25-40 product.
I could start with plain cardboard and put a brand sticker on top. Where could I source such boxes for a decent price? I asked for a couple of quotes from UK suppliers off the internet and they were quoting me £4-8 per box for 250 boxes. That seems like a lot to me. And would eat into a good chunk of profit.
Any suggestions? TIA

I've just looked at Rajapack's website (a supplier I used a few years ago), and they seems to be between £1 & £2 (ex VAT)

Thanks! Both great suggestions. Much more what I was looking for. IKEA, never crossed my mind, who would have thought…

I use ASC Direct for custom boxes, you'll be around £1 a box for that size.
