World Cardboard Shortage…
It is well documented that the world is currently experiencing a cardboard packaging shortage due to the pandemic. As a leading wholesale gift packaging supplier, we’d like to reassure you that we are doing everything within our power to maintain our stock levels of all of our cardboard boxes.
Lockdowns all over the world have led to a huge surge in global online sales, which in turn has created an unprecedented demand for cardboard boxes. There were approximately 200 million more home deliveries over Christmas in the UK alone! Disruption at ports has also meant that there are some shipping delays which is further impacting the problem, and then throw Brexit into the mix and there is a perfect storm in the packaging world! Luckily it has recently come to light that extra capacity at paper mills is in the process of being arranged and should soon reset the balance.
Wholesale gift boxes
We have been able to secure additional stock of all of our best selling gift boxes and paid additional shipping charges to guarantee delivery. You should find everything that you need as usual. Our popular black gift box 1252 has just come back into stock on our latest container which was delivered this week. 1254 is currently out of stock but is due in on the next container at the beginning of April. If you usually order this line and require an alternative, please don't hesitate to get in touch and we're sure we'll have a suitable option available.
Online packaging boxes
We are seeing an uplift in sales on all of our ecommerce packaging lines, but still have good availability on our best selling flat pack cardboard boxes which are a popular choice for online retailers as they are letterbox friendly (1308, 1309, 1310).
Cardboard packaging boxes
We ship all of our orders out to our customers in recycled cardboard outer boxes which has meant that there is no shortage of stock for us and you will continue to receive your orders in the usual way.
