What It Is

Kartox is an e-commerce store for cardboard boxes and packaging supplies based in the province of Barcelona, Spain. The site positions itself around “sustainable cardboard boxes” and “factory-price packaging.” Its family has been in the packaging business since 1954 and launched its online project in 2009, selling packaging materials for e-commerce, wine and spirits, cold chain, takeaway, moving, office, industrial, and other use cases.

Core Capabilities

The platform covers standard flap boxes, postal boxes, cardboard sheets, envelopes, void fill, paper bags, bubble wrap, tape, labels, wine bottle packaging, insulated boxes, dangerous goods packaging, pallet boxes, and more. The text states that it carries more than 1,000 SKUs. Its main highlight is customization: many boxes can be custom-made by size, and “cajas a medida” can be ordered from just one unit. It also supports printing on boxes, bags, tape, tissue paper, labels, and other items, with metallic printing marked as starting from 500 units.

Pricing and Fulfillment

Kartox uses a model based on unit pricing plus tiered quantity discounts, with many pages displaying “from” prices excluding VAT. For example, standard cardboard boxes start from €0.46, postal boxes from €0.85, Kraft paper tape from €2.05, and insulated boxes from €3.69. Cardboard sheets show tiered discounts for quantities from 25 to 1,000 units. In terms of logistics, the main text clearly states that standard cardboard boxes can be shipped across the Spanish mainland, with a delivery time of 24/48 hours. Other regions, shipping fees, and international delivery are not clearly specified.

Pros and Cons

The advantages are its very complete product range, making it suitable for one-stop purchasing by e-commerce businesses; its emphasis on eco-friendliness, recycled cardboard, and local KM0 manufacturing; its low minimum order requirements for customization; and its free technical packaging consultation. The drawbacks are that payment methods are not listed in the main text, some customization or printing still requires a quote or has minimum order quantities, and the site is clearly focused on Spanish and the local market. Chinese sellers looking to purchase cross-border would need to further confirm delivery, taxes, fees, and communication costs.

Best For and Access from China

It is better suited to e-commerce sellers with fulfillment needs in the Spanish mainland, food and beverage brands, takeaway businesses, and industrial packaging buyers. It is also suitable for merchants that need small-batch trial production of branded packaging. There is no evidence in the crawled text regarding access from China, so the status is unknown.
