Carton sizes by shipping provider
In Germany alone, over four billion parcels and packages were sent in 2021 - and the trend is rising. Various shipping companies are available to transport these goods, but they all have their own specifications. They divide parcels into individual classes that differ in terms of dimension, weight and price.
To make it easier for you to cooperate with the different shipping service providers, you can configure your shipping boxes at packaging-warehouse exactly according to the requirements of your shipping partner.
Your individual boxes by shipping company:
- Tailored to the specifications of your shipping partner
- Individually printable on the entire surface
- Corrugated cardboard made of stable recycled paper
- Loadable up to 32 kilograms

Until the end of 1997, Deutsche Post had a complete shipping monopoly. Every letter, every small package, every parcel could only be transported via this state-owned shipping company. By January 1, 2008, this monopoly was fundamentally reformed, and the entire postal market here was liberalized. Anyone who has something to send today can therefore choose completely freely from a large number of mail order companies operating in this country. The most important providers for the mail order business are:
- DHL
- DPD
- GLS
- Hermes
- UPS
As already mentioned at the beginning, each of these shipping companies divides its packages into different classes. These are defined by three core elements:
- the maximum dimensions of the shipping boxes,
- the maximum weight per package (class) and
- the associated shipping costs.
The challenge: Each shipping service provider defines its own benchmarks for different reasons. The fact that some of them calculate shipping costs based on a variety of different variables does not make the choice any easier. Here you can distinguish not only by dimensions and weight, but also by delivery location, for example. The cartons by shipping company from packaging warehouse are your key to efficiently adapt to the confusing offer of the mail order companies.
Boxes by shipping service provider: individuality in standard shipping
When shipping goods, the entire process should be fast and smooth. Your product should be securely packed in a shipping box and then sent to the recipient without extra work and, above all, cost-efficiently. Our boxes by shipping company guarantee you a smooth process. No matter how many of these service providers you work with and how many packages you ship. This gives you three advantages and options:
- You can order larger quantities of boxes and be sure that they always comply with the respective specifications of the shipping companies.
- All of our boxes by shipping company are customizable and fully printable. This makes your product stand out from the competition at every stage of shipping.
- At packaging warehouse you can choose from different types of corrugated cardboard. This way you always get the perfect product that exactly fits your requirements in terms of resilience and design. No matter what you are shipping: Your package is optimally protected against all external influences that can affect your shipment during shipping.
In addition, we have designed all our shipping boxes with maximum focus on sustainability. Each model is made from 99 percent recycled paper and is fully recyclable and compostable.
Cartons by shipping service provider from packaging warehouse: As high quality and individual as your requirements
The boxes from packaging warehouse can be easily configured according to the specifications of the respective shipping service provider. This saves you time and money. Our cardboard boxes also offer other advantages:
Cartons by shipping service provider: what cardboard box size do I need?
For the shipping companies, it has various advantages to set up their own rules for the packages and their classes. This applies, for example, to their margin regarding quantities or the necessary handling and transport space. So that you don't have to familiarize yourself with these often changing specifications again and again, we'll do it for you. On the following pages, you will therefore find all the relevant specifications of the most important transport companies operating in Germany. The tables give you an exact overview regarding dimensions, weight and shipping costs of the respective packages and shipping methods.

Cartons by shipping provider FAQ: Our answers to your most important questions
Question 1: Why do shipping companies only release their prices for business customers upon request?
The main reason for this is that every business customer has different demands. For example, a small store that only ships things occasionally is a less demanding and profitable customer for a shipping company than a large e-commerce company that sometimes orders hundreds of packages every day. The shipping companies calculate individually on the basis of such a shipping volume and can therefore hardly quote blanket prices. However, the private customer prices are a useful orientation possibility.

However, the private customer prices are a useful orientation possibility.
Question 2: Do the free formats at packaging warehouse also apply to boxes by shipping company?
Yes, because the shipping companies only specify maximum dimensions for their different classes. As long as your box is within the dimensional range of a particular package class without slipping into the next smaller or larger class, you are completely free to determine the dimensions of your shipping package.
Question 3: Can I post boxes that I ordered from packaging warehouse specifically for cooperation with a shipping company with another shipping company?
As long as the boxes are within the dimensional and weight specifications of the second shipping company, there is nothing to stop you. Just check out our tables on the different shipping providers and their services..
