Top Back to School Packaging Supplies You May Need

As the new school year approaches, many businesses begin preparing for the seasonal increase in orders. From stationery suppliers to uniform retailers and online shops, packaging becomes a priority when handling back-to-school demand. At Richards Packaging, we offer a wide range of packaging materials to help you stay organised and keep products protected during busy periods.

As a cardboard box supplier, we’ve worked with both trade and retail customers who need practical and reliable solutions for packing and sending stock. Whether you're fulfilling online orders or restocking a school shop, we can supply everything you need under one roof.

Cardboard Boxes for Back-to-School Orders

Boxes are essential when you’re handling bulk school supplies. Items like textbooks, stationery kits, uniforms, and backpacks all need packaging that’s both secure and manageable.

We supply single and double wall cardboard boxes in various sizes, ideal for small items or larger bundles. You can also buy boxes in bulk if you’re preparing for high volumes. We stock standard sizes for ease of use, but we can also help if you need something more specific.

As reliable box suppliers, we support businesses across the West Midlands and the rest of the UK with quick turnaround and helpful advice.

Tape, Fill and Protective Materials

In addition to boxes, our range of boxes and packaging supplies includes all the extras you might need to keep your parcels in good condition. Strong tape helps secure parcels, while void fill and bubble wrap protect fragile or awkward items during delivery.

We’ve noticed that during the back-to-school season, many customers want packaging that’s both protective and easy to use. Our team can help you choose the right quantity and material based on the weight and shape of the items you’re packing.

Supplies for Retail and Online Stores

For those running a retail outlet or school uniform shop, quick and easy packaging can make a big difference. Our packaging is suitable for in-store pick-up or shipping to customers. We offer mailing bags, flat-packed cartons, and a wide selection of packaging and shipping supplies to make your process smoother.

If you’re an online retailer, having packaging ready to go will help you stay ahead of demand. You can keep a stock of boxes and materials on hand, allowing you to fulfil orders quickly and efficiently as the start of term approaches.

Local Supply, UK Delivery

We’re based in Redditch, which means we’re well placed to support customers throughout the West Midlands, including nearby areas like Bromsgrove, Worcester, Solihull and Birmingham. You can collect from our trade counter or place an order for UK-wide delivery.
