How to Source FSC-Certified Letterbox Boxes in the UK
Find verified FSC-certified letterbox boxes and use the logo on your packaging correctly.
What FSC certification means
FSC (Forest Stewardship Council) certification verifies that wood fibre in your packaging comes from responsibly managed forests. The chain-of-custody certification tracks materials from forest to finished product, ensuring sustainability claims are genuine and verifiable.
Quick answer
Ask your letterbox box supplier whether they hold FSC chain-of-custody certification. Most major UK corrugated manufacturers do. If certified, they can produce FSC-labelled boxes and you can print the FSC logo on your packaging. FSC-certified board typically costs 0-5% more than non-certified. Check FSC's online database to verify any supplier's certification status.
