Creative and Eco-Friendly Ideas for Your Cardboard Box

Box Express are the cardboard box specialists who serve the nation with a swift, reliable and professional service, and are full of ideas of things to do with a cardboard box once it’s primary use has been exhausted.

They just love to hear ideas of things people do with the ones they sell after they’ve been uses for their original purpose. Once you have finished moving house you will feel awash with large boxes, extra-long boxes, corrugated boxes, in fact boxes of every kind. Maybe you’ll recycle some of them, or pass them on to a friend who has a box-related need, but how about getting creative with a few of them?

Get the Kids Involved

What are the best ways to combine getting children interested in nature, recycling and cardboard boxes at the same time?

How about helping them make birdhouses from cubed boxes then hanging them outside to see which birds they attract? This will give you and your children inspiration to watch the little fellows outside - hours of fun! Or if you don’t think your creations will withstand the weather, hang them inside your home for decoration - you can also make your own version of one of the birds you’ve spotted in your garden. There’s a great blog post on constructing Cardboard Bird Boxes by Wonderful DIY if you’re unsure where to start - http://wonderfuldiy.com/wonderful-diy-carboard-bird-house/.

This sounds like the sort of activity you would be invited to do at a National Trust craft day. Combine nature, spring and cardboard and give your children the chance to fill their days with eco-friendly fun as our gardens begin to burst back into life.

You could also use one of those left over boxes as a picnic hamper; if the box is a bit shabby from all its hard work, decorate it with stickers, wrapping paper or anything that the children fancy. But some boxes can just be admired for their honest brown-boxy beauty – fill your naked box with delicious treats, some cups and a thermos, take a rug from the car boot and sit in a lovely National Trust park and enjoy some quality time in the outdoors with your family.

Many of the packaging products and packing boxes at Box Express are large cardboard boxes partly made from recycled content, and are of course recyclable themselves. It is important to Box Express to consider their environmental impact in all they do so when they pack customers’ orders they try to minimise the outer packaging but are also careful to secure the products so they arrive safely.

So instead of throwing your old cardboard boxes away, get creative and have some fun with Box Express!

Fun Things You Can Do With a Cardboard Box

Cardboard boxes, one of the simplest yet purposeful items. They allow us to store items, move our items to a new home safely, and send items to loved ones minimising the damage during the postage process. However there are many more fun things you can do with a cardboard box once it has passed its use. If you are looking for a box to get creative with, Box Express offer an extensive range which can be used in a number ways, here are just a few ideas.

Children Toys

Children are usually amused by the simplest of things, so why not turn your cardboard box into a children’s toy. There are countless toys which can be made and replicated for a fraction of the price. For example if you have large cardboard boxes you can turn it into a playhouse or aeroplane, by snipping some of the cardboard and placing windows in; you can also decorate it to your hearts content with arts and crafts. To save the cutting and designing of certain toys, Box Express offer a playhouse and rocket, all you need to do is decorate it. Again if you have a jumbo box you can cut out the joints and lay it out flat on the floor; then you can get creative and turn it into a car road map so your children can play with their toy cars.

Post Box

If you’re looking to go that one step further this year with your Christmas decorations why not create a Christmas card post box. Further to this if you have children, you can post their letters to Santa Clause through the post box. The post box can be a unique item in your home, especially if you’re hosting Christmas, allowing all of your guests to post their cards on arrival and opening them altogether at a set time. Box Express offer a range of storage boxes available in different sizes to suit your post box creation needs.

Cat Home

Give your cat a new home this Christmas and turn your used box into a luxury bed or home. If you want to get creative, you can add additional layers to the home and decorate the insides with cushions and pillows to keep your furry friend warm. There are a range of packing boxes available from Box Express should you need inspiration.

Spring Cleaning Storage Solutions from Box Express

As we finally approach the end of a very cold Winter, many of us are finding our homes still in mild disarray from Christmas, our cupboards packed full of goodness-knows-what, and our garages a labyrinth of badly stacked beer crates and chaos. The concept of a good Spring clean seems terrifying, but necessary. But where to start? Here at Box Express, we’re here to help you finally get 2016 in order, with our top 3 tips when it comes to re-organising your home… 1. Be Bold and Realistic

As the years go by, our homes become filled with all manner of junk that we simply don’t need. If you haven’t used that vegetable steamer in the past year, will you ever? Those skinny jeans that are 3 sizes too small are probably a dream gone by too. De-clutter, and don’t keep things around your home that are just taking up valuable space. For those sentimental items, or things that have a very specific and infrequent use (think ski jackets, fishing gear, and campaign equipment), invest in some good quality storage like the Archive Box or the Medium Tea Chest Box, and put them away tidily in your loft or garage.

2. Give it a label If you have decided to box items up and store them for later, then don’t expect that you’ll remember the contents of every box when you next come to use it. At the very least, label boxes by use, like ‘party supplies’ ‘John’s holiday clothes’ or ‘tools’, so that your life is made easier later down the line. Using storage boxes like the Jumbo Box or the double-walled Book Box are a great way to pack lots of things into a small space, but you’ll save tonnes of time and effort in finding things if you label your boxes to begin with. 3. Keep It Safe

There’s nothing worse than the feeling of opening a storage box of your Grandmother’s china to find it broken or damaged. Make sure delicate items are packaged first in bubble wrap, then the box sealed properly with tape, to prevent unfortunate accidents. At Box Express, we not only sell high quality storage solutions, but packaging accessories too. Visit www.boxexpress.co.uk to buy online today.

So there you have it. Don’t shy away from that all-important Spring clean, and instead, embrace it with Box Express!
