If you're reusing a box, make sure it's free from damage, especially at the corners and along folds.
Can I use any box for parcel
You should use a new box. If you are reusing a box, it needs to be rigid and in excellent condition. Use heavy duty double-layered board wherever possible and definitely for any items weighing over 12kg. Goods fully enclosed in a protective packing case made of timber or aluminium is acceptable.
If your mailpiece isn't a postcard, Letter, or a flat (large envelope) , then it's a parcel. You may be surprised to find out that "parcels" are not just big boxes. Many mailers send small parcels in all classes of mail. Parcels offer some of the best value for your postage dollars.
