Consider the details

What are PiP boxes and why are they essential for UK e-commerce?

PiP stands for "Pricing in Proportion" — a standard framework created by Royal Mail that calculates postage based on dimensions rather than just weight. A standard UK parcel costs upwards of £3.29 to ship, whereas a package qualifying as a Royal Mail Large Letter (maximum 353 × 250 × 25mm and up to 750g) costs as little as £1.55. QPack’s custom PiP boxes are precision-die-cut with an external depth strictly under 24mm, guaranteeing your shipments glide through standard UK letterboxes without missed deliveries, courier surcharge penalties, or Royal Mail re-categorisation fees. Starting from just 100 units with flat-pack storage and instant fold-up assembly.

  • Strictly under 24mm depth — guarantees Royal Mail Large Letter postal qualification
  • Saves up to £1.74 per package in UK delivery courier postage costs
  • Fits through 99% of UK residential front door letterboxes — zero missed deliveries
  • Ships completely flat-packed — stores compactly and pops together in 5 seconds with no tape needed

Useful answers

Frequently Asked Questions About PiP Boxes

Ask us a question ↗
What dimensions qualify for Royal Mail Large Letter rates?

Royal Mail Large Letter format allows maximum dimensions of 353mm (Length) × 250mm (Width) × 25mm (Thickness), with a maximum weight of up to 750g. Our PiP boxes are built with a maximum outer thickness of 20mm to 24mm, ensuring they easily pass through the Royal Mail test gauge even with slight parcel bulging.

How much money can a business save using PiP boxes?

Standard Royal Mail Small Parcels cost approximately £3.29+ to send, whereas Large Letters cost from £1.55 (2nd Class) to £2.10 (1st Class). Sending 500 parcels a month in PiP boxes rather than small parcel boxes can save your business over £800 to £1,000 every single month in courier postage alone!

Do custom PiP boxes require tape or glue to seal?

The box itself locks together tightly using roll-end tuck tabs without any glue or tape. When dispatching to your customer, a simple branded sticker seal or 1 strip of kraft packaging tape across the front closure tab is all you need.

Can I print inside the lid of my PiP box?

Yes! Inside lid printing is one of our most popular choices. It allows you to display a welcoming brand message, thank-you note, social media handle, or QR code that catches the recipient’s eye the moment they open the box.

How are the PiP boxes delivered to me?

All PiP boxes are delivered 100% flat-packed in compact cartons. 500 to 1,000 boxes take up very little shelf or warehouse space and assemble effortlessly in just 5 seconds.

What is the minimum order quantity (MOQ)?

Our minimum order starts from just 100 units. Since setup and digital machine calibration costs are fixed, unit rates improve substantially at 1,000 units. Request a fast free quote today to compare tier pricing.
