The Storage.co.uk Award for Packaging Retail

Packaging retail is a feature of most self storage facilities’ foyers or reception areas, but many also have virtual “box shops” on their website, so customers can buy what they need online. Both parties get the benefit of this: the self storage company profits from running a sideline, while customers are able to buy everything they need from one place, usually at very reasonable prices.

The best packaging retail outlets ‒ online and bricks-and-mortar ‒ have very wide ranges of items for sale: many different sizes of box, plus lots of extras like tissue paper (acid free and biodegradable), loose fill, tape and even shelving units.

We were looking for the ones with the best ranges of items, with websites designed in ways that make them easy to use. The winners were:

Easistore Self Storage – Offers an excellent range of boxes, including ones made from plastic, and great-value multipacks, all at very reasonable prices.

UK Storage Company – This Bridgwater-based firm takes packaging so seriously they have a separate website, Carboardboxesonline.co.uk, devoted entirely to it. This stands out for being excellently designed, with large tabs that link customers to each separate category of items.

Le Gallais Self Storage – The only self storage firm on Jersey, Le Gallais has a very well-designed box shop that also aims to be eco-friendly. It boasts that all its products are made from 90% recycled material and are fully recyclable themselves.

Rotherham Self Storage – Presents customers with a very clear layout that divides packaging into different categories such as boxes and tape, each with their own tab, making it easy for them to systematically go through their shopping list.

Currie Easy Self Storage – This West-London based firm really scores with its well laid-out series of multipacks, which bundle together a certain amount of boxes and other materials for a very cost-effective price, helping customers to get all they can want in one go.
