When it comes to promotional products, we deliver Australia wide. Thousands of orders, from dozens of warehouses, sent out to locations all over the country...  Of course, that means quite a bit of shipping.All our orders are sent out in cardboard boxes and many of you may have received a stack of said cardboard boxes over the years. So what do you do once you've received and unpackaged your boxes? Well, recycling or reusing would be the best option, but I doubt any of those would be quite as fun as this. One team of enterprising office workers decided to create a cardboard castle in their office, and the effects are as amusing as they are incredible.

• An office team built a cardboard castle using panels and hot glue, showcasing a creative way to reuse promotional item boxes.
• Reusing promotional boxes can be done through storage, gift packaging, crafts, and more, benefiting the environment and maximizing their use.
• Donating, repurposing for kids' toys, and using as shipping packages are other practical ways to reuse promotional item boxes.

Reusing Cardboard

Pets enjoy packaging. As do smaller children. But adults? No such luck. Unless you decided to create your own cardboard castle for fun and presumable profit - surely your productivity would skyrocket in such a creative space? Or not...

Built on panels measuring 2m x 1m, smaller cardboard panels, 480 in number, were placed to mimic stonework. Hot glue was used to stick the castle together, with over 80 sticks of glue used to weld everything together.

With towers, the cardboard walls were up to 3 metres high.

A functioning drawbridge was constructed.

Add a few flags and voila. A castle inside an office, and something to consider the next time you end up with more cardboard than you know what to do with.

Other Ways To Reuse

Reusing promotional item boxes is an eco-friendly and resourceful way to make the most of packaging materials. Here are some creative ways to repurpose these boxes:

• Storage: Use promotional boxes to store office supplies, small accessories, or seasonal items. Label the boxes for easy identification and organization.

• Gift packaging: Reuse these boxes for gift-giving purposes. You can wrap them in decorative paper or add ribbons and bows to create a personalized touch.

• Craft projects: Turn promotional boxes into craft materials for DIY projects. Create photo frames, shadow boxes, or decorative organizers for your home or office.

• Planters: Convert promotional boxes into planters for small indoor plants or herbs. Ensure proper drainage by poking holes in the bottom and lining the box with a waterproof material.

• Desk organizers: Cut and reshape the boxes to create custom desk organizers for pens, pencils, notepads, or other stationery items.

• Memory boxes: Use promotional boxes to store cherished memories, such as photographs, ticket stubs, or small souvenirs from special events.

• Donation: Donate gently used promotional boxes to schools, non-profit organizations, or community centers that can use them for storage or creative projects.

• Kids' toys: Transform promotional boxes into toys or playsets for children, such as dollhouses, garages, or puppet theaters. Encourage kids to decorate the boxes with paint, stickers, or other embellishments.

• Shipping packages: Reuse promotional boxes for shipping parcels or returning online purchases. This reduces waste and saves you money on new packaging materials.

• Holiday decorations: Repurpose promotional boxes as holiday decorations by covering them with festive wrapping paper or fabric and arranging them as display pieces.

Takeaway

Cardboard boxes from promotional giveaways can be repurposed in various creative and eco-friendly ways, including building structures like cardboard castles, using them for storage, crafts, or donations. By reusing these materials, you contribute to a more sustainable environment and make the most of the packaging.
