Where to get Packaging boxes ?

I ran out of the boxes I have, and went to poundland and bought the last 2 they had. I need boxes to place items with weights between 1kg and 7kg (size is around 30cmx30cmx30cm). Any hints where to find boxes with similar sizes for cheap ?

Daft as it may sound have you tried ebay? I buy quite a bit of my packaging material from several sellers on there. The last lot I bought was from a company called JWS (I think)I’m a Forum Ambassador and I support the Forum Team on the eBay, Auctions, Car Boot & Jumble Sales, Boost Your Income, Praise, Vents & Warnings, Overseas Holidays & Travel Planning , UK Holidays, Days Out & Entertainments boards.

JWS Packaging. I get my bubble wrap from them, fast delivery and although they're not the cheapest (but only by a few pence) I use them all the time. I tried the cheapest seller and it took ages to arrive so I've gone back to JWS.:j30/7/10:j

Local packaging companies. I tend to go and do a big shop once a year for bubblewrap, envelopes, boxes and tape.Mortgage start September 2015 £90000 MFiT #060

I tried to start a business years ago supplying bags and wrapping paper to local shops. At the time the big supplier around Liverpool was Richmond paper company.Liverpool is one of the wonders of Britain,

+1 for JWS, and they do 12x12x12 singlewall boxes on a 48hr delivery.
Defendapak are also worth looking at.
I've also found it is not worth scrimping a few pence on lower priced bubblewrap. The bubbles do not tend to be well sealed, and offers no more protection than a bit of clingfilm!<--- Nothing to see here - move along --->0 -
Look in the yellow pages/tinterwed for local removal companys, many will also sell boxes/bubble wrap0

I use wine, and other small boxes from the local supermarket and get bubble wrap from a local tv shop.
I have a good supply of A4 brown envelopes from my weekly mail survey test items.
Selotape & parcel tape I get from the local £ shop.
I recycle clean packaging as much as possible - and state this in my listings - to help keep p&p costs down.0 -
HAve you tried your local self-store companies?What is this life if, full of care, we have no time to stand and stare0
