Large Letter Postal Boxes Explained

Large Letter postal boxes are packaging designed to fit within Royal Mail’s Large Letter size format, so items post at the cheaper Large Letter rate rather than as a parcel. Mailcoms supplies postal packaging to help businesses keep their postage costs down.

What is a Large Letter?

Large Letter is one of Royal Mail’s pricing formats. Items that fall within the Large Letter size and weight guidelines are charged less than parcels, so the right packaging can make a real difference to your postage bill. Always check Royal Mail’s current Large Letter dimensions before choosing a box.

Why use Large Letter boxes

A purpose-made Large Letter box protects your contents while keeping the item within the format, so you get the protection of a box at the lower Large Letter rate.
