BoxMart

What BoxMart does

BoxMart Ltd is a privately held UK wholesale packaging manufacturer and supplier headquartered in Shenstone, Staffordshire, operating a direct B2B e-commerce storefront at boxmart.co.uk alongside phone, live chat, and consultation channels. The company manufactures and distributes a broad catalog of gift boxes, postal boxes, hamper boxes, clear-lid presentation boxes, hexagonal gift boxes, and supporting packaging accessories (tissue paper, ribbons, shredded paper, carrier bags, transit outers), produced in the UK using recyclable board, water-based inks, vegan-friendly adhesives, and biodegradable materials with recycled content. Differentiated SKUs include unique hexagonal gift boxes, reversible two-tone ecommerce postal boxes, and clear-lid presentation boxes with rPET lids. BoxMart sells primarily to UK-based SMB customers across verticals including e-commerce retailers, gift and luxury retailers, food and bakery businesses, florists, candle and wax melt makers, and baby gift retailers, with named enterprise reference customers including Disney, Lush, FeverTree, and Woodland Trust.

The business model is wholesale product sales with unit and pack-based pricing (packs of 12-25 units, bulk discounts available) plus two higher-value services: a custom print service for stock boxes from 250 units with no tooling charges, and a bespoke packaging design service for custom-made retail, postal and gift packaging. Pricing is ex-VAT, the minimum order is one pack, and next-day UK shipping is included as standard with same-day despatch on orders placed before 3pm Monday to Friday. Marketing is multi-channel, combining the e-commerce site, Box Finder tool, email newsletter, social media (Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn), and consultation booking for bespoke requirements.

The company is privately held with no disclosed parent, institutional investors, or funding rounds, and operates as a single-country UK business with no headcount, revenue, or ownership detail in the source data. It has accumulated industry recognition including UK Packaging Awards wins in 2022, 2023 and 2024, Worldstar Awards in 2019 and 2020, and a StarPack Award in 2019, and operates a horizontal segmentation approach across 15+ use-case verticals from a single supply platform.
