Our postal boxes are available in a variety of sizes, paper-based materials and heights, and designed bespoke to your requirements providing maximum efficiency across your eCommerce supply chain.

Utilising various print finishes, packs can be printed on both the inside and the outside, to include handling instructions, product/sustainability information or branding.

Postal packs are strong, durable and able to withstand the rigours of eCommerce distribution. Using a mono-material of FSC® certified corrugated cardboard, they are 100% recyclable and made from a renewable resource.

Amazon Frustration Free Packaging (FFP)

Smurfit Kappa EU is an official participant in the Amazon Packaging Support and Supplier Network (APASS)

The APASS program has been designed by Amazon to help support vendors, sellers and manufacturers in obtaining certification of their products as Frustration Free Packaging (FFP), Ships-in-Own-Container (SIOC) or Prep-Free Packaging (PFP).

The packaging initiative implemented by Amazon enhances the consumer experience by using recyclable boxes that are easy to open and free of excess materials such as hard plastic clamshell cases, plastic bindings, and wire ties. APASS also improves the environmental footprint of Amazon suppliers by reducing packaging waste and product damages due to the optimised packaging solutions.

Smurfit Kappa provides APASS services directly to vendors, sellers or manufacturers in compliance with Amazon’s certification requirements and guidelines.
