If you’re tired of guessing whether your parcel will survive the trip, stop. Our Standard Shipping Boxes are precisely what you’ve been looking for: reliable, straightforward, and built to take the hassle out of packaging.
For over 45 years, we at Anchor Box in Houston have been supporting businesses, churches, service groups and everyday folks with one clear goal: cheap prices, no minimum pickup and fast delivery.
And these boxes? They’re true to that mission.
Why these boxes?
- They come in a wide range of sizes—everything from trim 6″ × 4″ × 4″ to extensive 24″ × 18″ × 18″ options. (Those are some of the standard sizes you’ll see across the industry.)
- Strong corrugated cardboard built to protect your contents without blowing up your shipping costs.
- Designed for shipping snugly—the less space, the better the protection and the lower the risk of “box collapse” or transit damage.
- Perfect for a variety of users: commercial shippers, small‑business owners, e‑commerce sellers, church organisations packing supplies, or anyone moving or storing items.
You might be thinking: “Yeah, many boxes out there—but what makes yours different?”
Here’s the difference: At Anchor Box, you get no minimum order, so you can pick up a single bundle or dozens—whatever you need. You get rapid delivery because we understand time matters. And you get economy pricing because we’ve been in the business long enough to pass the savings to you.
Plus, being local in Houston means faster turnaround if you’re in the region.
How to choose the right size
Measure your item’s length, width, and depth (the interior of the box), then add a little wiggle room—about ¼″ is ideal—to avoid jamming your items in.
If you’re unsure, go one size up rather than squeeze it tight. A box too large is okay—it just needs a little extra padding.
It’s about matching your content to the size. And when you do it smart, your shipping cost stays lean and your customers are happier.
What you get

FAQs
Q: What sizes do your standard shipping boxes come in?
A: We offer many standard interior dimensions—6″ × 4″ × 4″, 8″ × 8″ 8″, 10″ × 8″ 6″, 12″ × 10″ 8″, 14″ × 10″ 6″, 18″ × 12″ 6″, 24″ × 18″ 18″ and more. These align with industry‑typical sizes.
Q: How do I know which size box I need for shipping?
A: Measure the product (L × W × H), add a small allowance for packaging (≈¼″), and then pick a box with slightly larger internal dimensions. Oversizing by one size is okay; undersizing risks damage.
