Customised packing boxes

Anyone use any kind of customised postage boxes?
I'm looking for an A4/small parcel size box. It's not actually for postage but may be at some point, so in theory a bit thinner than a post box is ok. Not sure how many I need but happy to start with 500 if it gets a decent price break.
Printing can be minimal.
Could also survive with a plain white box that I can put a printed label on, I seem to be able to find these for around 30p but any help on those would be good too.
Obviously I've looked online and found a few possibles but the variable in price is crazy and I thought someone may know somewhere that is either way down a Google search or doesn't appear online for some reason.

I bought these a while ago, 600 seems to work out at 23p each. Loads of them on Ebay. Not sure if any use to you?

Thanks. They're the right everything except for height. Needs to be 2-3 times the height but there are some of those on Ebay and Amazon that I may try out.I bought these a while ago, 600 seems to work out at 23p each. Loads of them on Ebay. Not sure if any use to you?

Thanks, they do look the part. The ones local are all a bit bigger operations than I need, won't quote for under a few thousand.theonlywayisup wrote: »We do but they are local - DS Smith boxes and printed by a local firm. Have you tried anything local to you?.0
