How UK Shoppers Cut Costs at Fast Printed Packaging

Fast Printed Packaging sells customised printed packaging for UK businesses, including cardboard boxes, postal boxes, pizza boxes, mailer boxes, paper carrier bags, mailing bags, book wrap mailers, envelopes and packaging tape. Its range includes options such as single- and double-wall boxes, padded envelopes, Flexhold™ boxes, wine packaging and printed paper bags, with products available in different sizes, colours and materials.

This guide focuses on practical ways to reduce the total cost of an order rather than assuming a promotion is available. Use it to compare the product price with VAT, production, delivery and artwork considerations, then check the final checkout total before paying. That approach is particularly useful when ordering customised packaging, where the cheapest unit price may not produce the lowest overall spend.

Start with the right packaging format

The first saving usually comes from choosing packaging that matches the item being sent. Fast Printed Packaging lists large letter postal boxes, small parcel boxes, medium parcel boxes, book wrap mailers, cardboard envelopes and padded envelopes, alongside more specialised packaging for food, drink, bottles and gifts.

Measure the product, including any protective material, before selecting a size. An oversized box can require more filling and may increase the amount of packaging used for every order. On the other hand, choosing packaging that is too small can lead to damaged goods, wasted stock and replacement costs. Compare the available product types and select the simplest format that safely meets the job.

Use the displayed prices carefully

Product pages show prices both excluding and including VAT on many listed items. UK shoppers should decide which figure is relevant to their business or personal budget before comparing products. If you are not VAT-registered, the inclusive figure is normally the more useful checkout reference; if you are buying through a VAT-registered business, record both the net price and the amount payable.

Unit prices can also vary by product, size, material and quantity. A low “from” price is a starting point, not a guaranteed price for every configuration. Select the exact options required, enter the quantity and review the updated basket total before treating a comparison as final.

Reach the free delivery threshold only when it makes sense

Fast Printed Packaging states that standard delivery is free on orders over £70. Orders below that threshold may incur a standard delivery fee, while express production options carry additional charges. The delivery information also notes that certain postcode areas may attract a minimum delivery charge, regardless of order value.

It can therefore be sensible to combine a planned packaging purchase with other products you genuinely need, such as envelopes, bags, boxes or tape, if doing so takes the order above £70 without creating unnecessary stock. Do not buy surplus packaging purely to chase free delivery: compare the delivery charge with the cost of unused inventory and storage first. Enter your UK delivery postcode and check the basket total rather than relying on the headline threshold alone.

Choose production speed based on your deadline

The retailer lists Standard Express Production at 6–10 business working days, Priority Production at 3–5 business working days and Priority+ Production at 1–2 business working days. The faster options cost more, so selecting the quickest service by habit can make a significant difference to the final price.

Plan around the retailer’s proofing requirements. Production begins only after the artwork is supplied in the correct format and the proof has been approved. The site advises customers to approve proofs by midday on a working day for same-day dispatch where applicable. Preparing artwork early and allowing time to review it can help you avoid paying for an urgent production option unnecessarily.

Make the artwork ready before checkout

Fast Printed Packaging allows artwork to be uploaded through its personalisation tool and lists accepted formats including PNG, JPG, PDF, TIFF, BMP, AI, PSD and EPS. The company says that artwork can also be emailed for setup assistance.

To keep the process efficient, check dimensions, spelling, logos, colours and print areas before submitting files. The retailer prints onto pre-manufactured packaging and uses predefined print areas, so full coverage of every outside surface may not be available. Confirming the printable area before paying can help prevent redesigns, delays or an order that does not suit your intended presentation.

Consider repeat-order savings

If you regularly buy the same product with the same artwork, review the retailer’s Re-Order Club information before placing a repeat order. The site states that eligible reorders can receive 10% off and a free upgrade to express production, subject to the club’s conditions. It also notes that a £70 minimum order spend applies for free delivery, with a delivery charge applicable below that amount.

This is more relevant to established packaging requirements than to a one-off purchase. Check that the product, artwork and order conditions match the club’s requirements, and confirm the quote before assuming that the saving applies.

Before you pay

Look closely at the final basket and checkout screens. If checkout displays a promotional, voucher or discount-code field, enter a verified code exactly as supplied and confirm that the order total changes before payment. If no code field is shown, do not assume a code can be added later; instead, check the retailer’s visible offers, newsletter messaging or relevant account and reorder options before completing the order.

Fast Printed Packaging voucher codes should be treated as conditional: availability, exclusions and minimum spends must be confirmed at checkout. Do not assume that a code can be combined with another saving, applies to personalised products or covers delivery unless the checkout clearly states this.

Also check the delivery postcode, VAT treatment, production speed and proof status. Payment is due when the order is completed, and the retailer lists card payments, PayPal and Klarna among its accepted methods. Choose a payment route that suits your budget, but avoid using a payment plan simply to justify an order that is more expensive than necessary.

Quick checklist

• Measure the product and compare the most suitable box, bag or envelope format.
• Review prices both excluding and including VAT.
• Check the quantity and exact specification behind any “from” price.
• Compare the cost of standard production with faster options.
• Prepare artwork in an accepted format and review the proof promptly.
• Check whether your postcode has special delivery conditions.
• Consider reaching £70 only with packaging you genuinely need.
• Review the Re-Order Club if you are repeating the same artwork and product.
• Use a code field only if it is displayed and confirm any saving before payment.
• Save the final order summary for your business or household records.

For a final check before ordering, compare the available Fast Printed Packaging discount codes page with the retailer’s checkout total, then choose the option that gives you the clearest verified saving after VAT, delivery and production costs.
