How to Pack This Box Effectively
This size works best when products sit neatly without empty gaps. Wrap individual items if fragile, place heavier pieces at the base and fill spare space with paper void fill. This prevents movement and gives the parcel a more professional finish, especially for retail and gifting brands.
Size Guidance
Choose this box if you need more internal space than a 6×4×4″ box, but want to avoid the extra depth of a 9×6×6″ carton. For deeper items, pick the Strong Single Wall 9×6×6″ or the Very Strong 9×6×6″.
Box Strength & Weight Capacity
Ideal for light to medium-weight items such as curated bundles, beauty sets and branded merchandise. For dense hardware, heavier items or stacking on pallets, a double wall carton offers greater protection.
Sustainability & Environmental Benefits
Made from 100% recycled cardboard and fully recyclable, biodegradable and compostable. This plastic-free design is suitable for brands looking to improve their packaging sustainability.
Packing Best Practices
Use a smooth tape seal across the base and top flaps, avoid overfilling and protect delicate items individually. This ensures consistent performance through courier networks and reduces the chance of returns.
Fit Testing
We can supply samples for fit and presentation testing. Ideal for brand launches, subscription kits or new product bundles.

Are the 9×6×4 inch box dimensions internal or external?
The measurements are internal. This box is 228.6×152.4×101.6 mm (9×6×4 inches) on the inside, so always measure your products and any protective wrapping against these internal dimensions.
Are these 9×6×4 cardboard boxes recyclable and eco-friendly?
Yes. They are made from 100% recycled corrugated cardboard and are fully recyclable, biodegradable and compostable through standard UK cardboard recycling collections.
What board grade and flute type do you use for this size?
This 9×6×4 inch box uses a strong single wall B Flute board with a 450TL2TCSF grade. It gives a good balance of strength and low weight for everyday e-commerce and postal despatch.
Is the 9×6×4 box suitable for Royal Mail and UK couriers?
Yes. It is suitable for sending parcels with Royal Mail, DPD, Evri, Yodel, UPS and DHL. Always check the final packed size and weight, as protective wrap and void fill can change which price band your parcel falls into.
What can I fit inside a 9×6×4 inch box?
This size is popular for gift sets, candle pairs, skincare bundles, craft kits, stationery sets and small electronics. It works well when you want a neater unboxing experience than a very small or very deep carton.
How much weight can this single wall box safely hold?
When packed correctly it is suitable for light to medium-weight items. For very dense goods, heavy hardware or orders that will be stacked on pallets, we recommend moving to a double wall carton for extra strength.
How should I pack products inside this 9×6×4 box?
Place heavier items at the bottom and use paper void fill or similar cushioning to stop movement. Wrap fragile items individually and avoid overfilling, as forcing the flaps closed can weaken the seal and affect courier handling.
What tape should I use to seal these boxes?
Use a good quality packing tape across the base and top flaps. We recommend our Clear Packaging Tape or Brown Packaging Tape for daily use, and Fragile Tape when sending delicate or high-value products.
What pack sizes are available for the 9×6×4 inch box?
We supply this size in packs of 25, 50, 75, 100 and 200. Larger packs offer a lower price per box and are ideal for regular online sellers and fulfilment teams.
Can I get samples or a trade quote for the 9×6×4 box?
Yes. We can provide samples for fit and presentation testing and offer trade or pallet pricing for repeat users. Please contact us via WhatsApp or email info@mrbags.co.uk with your requirements.
