THEY’RE not the most exciting household item to think about we admit, but let’s face it – when you need a cardboard box (and we all need them at some point), they can be tricky to track down.
Whether you’re moving house, storing away treasured possessions into the loft, or have an idea for a genius craft project – we’ve found the best placed to buy cardboard boxes online.
Cardboard boxes have multiple uses: first and foremost, they’re essential for moving, but many also use them for a variety of storage needs, from clothing to electronics.
They’re handy for crafts and games for little ones – after all, a box fashioned into a playhouse or boat is the ultimate toy.
They’re also reusable and easy to recycle, making them a handy, eco-friendly storage solution for around the house.
Cardboard boxes with carry handles can be used to carry food items, like fruit and vegetables. For a really thoughtful gesture, it’s worth having a small supply on hand for posting items and care packages to friends and loved ones.
In the past, people used to head to their local supermarket to request cardboard boxes for free. These days, it’s a lot easier to order them online, particularly if you need a few, but it can be difficult to know where to stock up.
