Return information

Returns and Refund Policy
Below you will find our returns policy – which is all about YOU.

We want you to be 100% satisfied with any order placed with us. Therefore if you are dissatisfied with your purchase and wish to return an item you may contact us by email at sales@lilpackaging.com within 30 days of your purchase, stating the reason for return*. We will then supply you with a return address and returns number, which is very important because no goods can be returned without a returns number.

*If the correct goods have been sent and you've made a mistake whilst placing the order, we are happy to accept returns for a refund, but you will need to cover delivery costs. All returns must be organised within 30 days of receiving your order. Items must be unused, undamaged and still have their original packaging and labelling attached. Nothing in these conditions affects your statutory rights as a consumer. The credit card or PayPal account used for the purchase will be credited with the original purchase amount (less any delivery charge paid where appropriate).

For made-to-order products (including our 9000 pizza style postal boxes), unfortunately, we cannot accept returns if you have ordered the wrong size or if your product doesn't fit. 

Returns on Digitally Printed items

In the unlikely event of your custom packaging arriving damaged, missing items or is of incorrect specification (outside of the print, material specifications and variances as stated on our product descriptions) then please contact our mail happy team on sales@lilpackaging.com who will be more than happy to help you put things right.

As these items are made to order, we can only offer returns if the items you purchased are deemed faulty.

In all instances, if you’re not happy please do give us a call - we will do what we can to help you.

To avoid disappointment, we always advise that you order 1 unit to test out our service before committing to a larger order.

    Plastic free corrugated cardboard envelope!

    Indestructible Cardboard Envelope

    Perfect for delivering clothing, big books, cook books, puzzles, paintings, arts & craft materials, posters, maps, calendars and lots of other big, flat items

    Description

    Looking for big book packaging or sheet music envelopes? The A4 is a cardboard envelope large mailer and is perfect for delivering clothing, big books, cook books, puzzles, paintings, arts & craft materials, posters, maps, calendars and lots of other big, flat items through the postal system. The Lil A4 large envelopes are made from stiff 450 gsm material with specially designed folds to provide impact protection around the edges, minimising the risk of impact damage. The envelope features our leading peel'n'seal / tear-strip system for easy sealing and opening.

    All products within our envelope range are made from 100% recycled material and are 100% recyclable. The Lil envelopes are the most eco-friendly, plastic free alternative to a standard padded envelope or bubble mailer and they represent a significant step forward in the removal of single use plastics from ecommerce packaging. Eco-friendly padded envelopes that are stuffed with post consumer recycled fibre actually use MORE material than our envelopes and are considerably slower to pack, yet they don't provide any additional protection or cost savings. This is why our envelopes are trusted to deliver products and media across the globe by the internet's biggest online retailer.

    This range was co-developed with one of the Internet's largest retailers... so you might recognise our envelopes! See all of our corrugated envelope flatpacks.

    Tired of returns and unhappy customers? These envelopes are better than bubble mailers; the corner stiffness of the A4 envelope cuts damage in transit. Online retailers report nearly 70% fewer returns and 25% faster packing. Struggling with storage space for your packaging? The easy stack design of the A4 envelope is the answer. This range was co-developed with one of the Internet's largest retailers... so you might recognise our envelopes!

    Absolute game changer In shipping. I can send books of large letter size and it can be opened even wider so I can post hardback books In it. Love the idea of these envelops. They are made from recycable materials and are Eco frondly what makes them even better.

    Good quality - Fast Delivery

    After trying out various suppliers for cardboard envelopes to fit an unusual size art print of 12inch by 10inch, and getting a disastrous order from another supplier, I was truly impressed with the quality of the envelope and the cardboard and looks incredibly neat. Just what I wanted. Thank you

    Great packaging

    So impressed, the packaging is great and no plastic- hurrah! Shame the postage for 2 samples was £8, bit steep really but you’re forgiven because they were so good 👍
