FAQs
What size is The Last Box?
The Last Box is a simple, durable reusable shipping box that replaces standard corrugated cardboard. The most frequently used Last Box size is 20”x 15” x 16” (W x D x H), and weighs 4.2 lbs. However, we can customize dimensions, shipping label placement, color, and branding to meet your specific packaging requirements.
How long does The Last Box last?
The Last Box is guaranteed to last at least 40 shipments. After millions of shipments, our partners have found its functional lifetime to be far longer than this 40 shipment guarantee.
Can I ship The Last Box with my existing carrier?
The Last Box is compliant with carrier requirements for all domestic and most international carriers (including FedEx, USPS, and UPS). There are no conveyance concerns; FedEx and UPS ship hundreds of thousands of Last Boxes per month and love our product!
Where does the shipping label go?
The Last Box comes standard with two shipping label pockets - one on the top lid, and one on the front face - but these can be customized to meet your needs.
How does The Last Box close/seal?
The Last Box has a skirt along the top lid that is enclosed to the base of the box by a pair of D-rings connected by a zip tie. This zipperless, tapeless closure mechanism optimizes for pack & unpack time and efficiency, security & tamper prevention and employee safety.
How much weight does The Last Box support?
The Last Box is rated to comfortably hold 50+ lbs. If you have a specific use case that requires a heavier rating, our team will work with you to find a solution.
How much does The Last Box cost?
Pricing is variable based on specific customizations, order quantity, and other factors, but the per-shipment cost over the lifetime of the product will always be lower than that of single-use cardboard boxes. Our team will help price the product in a way that makes sense for your operation! In some cases we can offer financing options so allow The Last Box to fit into your existing OpEx budget.
