Book packaging boxes
If you sell books, DVDs, boxed software, or similar-sized products online, custom book wrap mailers ensure they reach your customers in pristine condition.
Manufactured from lightweight yet durable corrugated cardboard, book packaging boxes are easy for your packing staff to assemble and seal. You can also opt to have them in custom sizes tailored to your products or to adhere to postal sizing bands.
At GWP Packaging, we’ll design, manufacture and print your book wraps so they are exactly as you need them. This approach minimises material use while maximising the performance and cost effectiveness.

What our customers say...
Great company to work with, very helpful and friendly. We needed a custom box designed and GWP produced the initial sample prototypes within 2 weeks from our initial meeting. Production volume order arrived to spec and ahead of schedule. Will use again.
Jamie Jones | Google review
I just wanted to say thank you for all your help. When the boxes arrived we were all thrilled with how they’ve turned out. The quality is incredible, and we love how everything came together. Thank you again! We’ll definitely be in touch if we have any future projects for these items.

Over time our needs have changed and they always respond swiftly with exceptional service. They know what we want and when we need it, and hold stock for us, and they never let us down. We feel they really understand our business, and they work very hard on the relationship.

FAQs
What are book wraps?
Book wraps are one of the most common forms of eCommerce packaging. Made popular by Amazon, they are designed for safely shipping books, DVDs, software, or similar-sized items. Supplied flat yet easy to assemble, packing staff simply place the item to be sent in the packaging, wrap the sides around it, and then fix the front flap using glue or tape.
What are book wraps manufactured from?
Book wraps are manufactured from lightweight yet durable corrugated cardboard. Typically using a single-wall grade, they provide an ideal balance between protection in transit, quality appearance, and sensible price points.
What size books are book wraps suitable for?
Book wraps are available in most standard sizes (e.g. A4, C5, etc.). However, custom manufacture allows for bespoke sizing, meaning that your book wraps can accommodate any size book.
Do these book wraps meet Royal Mail pricing guidelines?
Book wraps can be manufactured to meet the Royal Mail “pricing in proportion” (PiP) guidelines. This can help your business to minimise delivery and shipping costs by benefiting from favourable pricing bands.
Can book wraps feature printing?
You can choose to enhance any book wrap or similar eCommerce packaging through printing. This can be anything from a one-colour logo to a high-end photographic print. It allows you to not only add branding but also include instructions and information such as returns processes and recycling guidelines.
