Flower Shipping Boxes & Florist Wrapping Paper

Packaging For Shipping Flowers Safely In The Post

Reliable packaging matters when you are sending bouquets, arrangements, and floral gifts through the post or via couriers. Choose from flower postal boxes, long flower shipping boxes, and sturdy cardboard flower boxes that help keep stems supported and reduce movement in transit.

For presentation, we offer kraft flower boxes and hat boxes, plus practical options like cardboard display buckets for retail and storage. Many lines come in trade-friendly pack quantities, making it straightforward to top up before busy periods and event work.

Flower Wrapping Paper And Florist Wrap For A Finished Look

Once the outer packaging is sorted, wrapping is what elevates the unboxing. Use flower wrapping paper, florist paper and compostable wrap to protect petals, create structure around the bouquet, and present your work neatly for retail or delivery.

Flower Packaging Boxes FAQs

What is the best way to ship flowers?

Use a rigid flower shipping box that fits the arrangement closely, secure stems so they cannot slide, and cushion any gaps to reduce movement. Keep blooms away from box edges, and choose packaging that protects the head of the bouquet during handling.

What flowers don't ship well?

Flowers with very delicate petals, heavy heads, or stems that bruise easily are more likely to arrive marked if they are not well supported. Strong outer packaging and good internal stabilisation can make a big difference, especially for mixed bouquets.

What is the paper called that you wrap flowers in?

Common options include flower wrapping paper, florist wrap, kraft paper and tissue paper. Some florists also use compostable wrap for a cleaner finish and added protection around the bouquet.

Are flower postal boxes suitable for next-day delivery?

Yes, flower postal boxes are designed for delivery networks, but the result still depends on a snug fit and proper stabilisation inside the box. Pair the right box size with careful packing so the bouquet stays upright and protected.

How do I choose the right size flower delivery box?

Start with the width of your bouquet head and the length of the stems, then choose a box that allows a secure fit without crushing. A box that is too large can let the arrangement move around, so sizing to the bouquet is usually better than oversizing.
