Boxes for furniture and antiques

One box, made to the piece.

Get an instant quoteWhich box, what size

Antique dealers, restorers and furniture makers come to us for one or two boxes at a time, because the piece cannot be replaced and the box on the shelf is never the right size. We make it to the sizes you give us, in board heavy enough for the trip.

The style

For anything heavy, the full flap carton in double wall.

The flaps go the whole way across, so the top and the bottom are two layers of board where the weight sits and where the forklift or the courier grabs it. In double wall it carries a chair, a chest of drawers or a boxed lamp without the corners going.

For lighter pieces, or where the box goes inside a crate, the regular carton in double wall is the same idea with less board. If you are not sure, send a photo with the sizes and we will suggest the box.

Getting it right

The size, the number and the board, in that order.

The sizeMeasure at the widest points, then add the wrap.

Measure the piece at its widest points, add whatever you will wrap it in, blankets, foam or bubble, and then add 10 to 20 mm each way so it goes in without a fight. The sizes you type are internal sizes.

How manyTwo is a normal order.

Nobody keeps a hundred of these on the shelf. Order the two you need this week, and when the next piece sells, order again. Your sizes stay on file, so a box you had last year is the same box this year.

The boardDouble wall for weight and legs.

Double wall is the board for anything heavy, anything with legs, and anything travelling interstate. Single wall in a heavy grade does lighter pieces and local deliveries.

A common starting point

A full flap carton at 900 x 500 x 500 mm internal, in double wall, takes a boxed side table, a small chest or a wrapped chair. Open it in the calculator with these numbers in, change the sizes to your piece, and the price is on the screen.

Questions people ask

Before you order.

Can you make a box for one piece of furniture?

Yes. One box is the minimum, and antique dealers have been ordering one or two at a time from us for years. It is not a sample and it is not a favour, it is an order.

What if the piece is bigger than the calculator allows?

Call us with the sizes. Most pieces fit, and for the ones that do not, we will tell you what we can make and how.

Can I pick the boxes up?

Yes, from the factory in Dandenong South. A box this size comes flat, so a van or a ute is the easy way to collect it. We can also send it.

Got a product that needs its own box?

Start with the size and the price is on the screen. If you would rather talk it through first, call the factory on 03 9793 3520 and you will get someone who makes the boxes.
