There are some businesses that exist not out of luxury or desire, and not out of urges or want, but instead, there to service a need or requirement. It is arguably those businesses that should be the most celebrated and recognised for their efforts, every day satisfying our basic needs and help to make our lives easier.

Box Express is one of those business, revolutionising the packaging industry and making it more accessible and, believe it or not, fun! Let’s face it – can you honestly name a time in your life when you’ve not needed a good, strong, packing box? Whether moving home, sending gifts in the mail, or storing Christmas decorations, packing boxes are a subtle yet important part of our lives. Box Express takes that need a step further, offer you an incredible range of box types, sizes, materials and of course, bubble wrap and packing tape!

Take for example, one of the most popular box types, the Large Cubed Box. A very strong, double walled and durable box, this item has countless uses. Loft storage solutions and safekeeping of your possessions springs to mind immediately, but what if you took that to the next level? Why not get creative, and use wallpaper or a fabric covering to dress your box, creating an instant great-looking storage solution that you can leave on show?

If you follow the Box Express Twitter account, @BoxExpressUK, you may have spotted some other great and creative uses for your box over the Christmas period.

Box Express even offer boxes designed specifically for fragile items, like the glassware box, which boasts 36 cell spaces; exactly what you need to prevent breakages when moving or storing kitchenware. Extra long boxes and foam corners are also available for more obscurely shaped items, as well as a box made just for transporting your wardrobe! Seriously, the guys at Box Express have thought of everything.

One customer recently needed help transporting a wedding dress, and the idea of using a bag was absolutely terrifying. She contacted Box Express, who took the measurements of the dress and suggested the tea chest box, which safely and compactly stored the dress for delivery. Both her and the recipient were completely delighted:

"Box Express found a solution for what I thought was a very tricky packaging need, but their excellent customer service and ability to see the end goal of a project meant that the wedding dress was shipped safely, securely and without risk of damage. I’d wholly recommend www.boxexpress.co.uk."
