Packaging is priced on measurable properties, and quotes that omit them cannot be compared. Corrugated boxes need **internal dimensions, flute type (B / C / BC / EB) and whether the strength is stated as ECT or bursting strength**; stretch film needs **micron thickness, width, roll weight and whether it is hand or machine grade**; tape needs **width, length and adhesive type**. Two of these are systematically left out — box internal versus external dimensions, and stretch film net weight versus gross roll weight — and both change the real unit cost by double digits. If your freight is billed on volumetric weight, the box size is a shipping cost decision as much as a packaging one. **Scope:** We supply **materials** in this category. We do not provide freight, courier transport and warehousing services. Our commitment ends with delivering the right product, in the right quantity, on the stated date to the delivery point named on the quote — anywhere across Türkiye’s 81 provinces, or abroad under the agreed Incoterm. In any shipping operation, running out of packaging means shipments stop. AKSCO plans your packaging items around your consumption speed, holding safety stock on critical consumables to eliminate the “we’re out” risk. We work across stock products and custom orders alike — including production to your size and grammage standard (custom-size boxes, printed tape). Goods are dispatched broken down into the units you need, from rack-ready to bulk. - Boxes & cartons - Stretch & shrink - Tapes & adhesives - Void fill & protection - Pallets & strapping - Labels & printer supplies - Custom printed packaging - Warehouse consumables Packaging specifications that make quotes comparable | Item | Measurable specification | Standard | Why it matters | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | Corrugated box | Outside dimensions, flute type (B / C / BC), number of plies, bursting strength or edge crush | EN ISO 2759 (bursting) / EN ISO 3037 (ECT) | Two boxes of the same size can differ by 40% in strength | | Stretch film | Width, thickness (µm), roll weight, pre-stretch capability | — | Price per kilo, not per roll — roll weights vary widely | | Adhesive tape | Width × length, adhesive type (acrylic / hot melt / solvent), adhesion strength | — | Acrylic is cheaper; hot melt holds better in cold stores | | Strapping | Width × thickness, material (PP / PET), break strength | — | PET replaces steel strap on heavy loads | | Pallet | Type (EUR / industrial), dimensions, load capacity, heat treatment mark | ISPM 15 for export | Untreated pallets are refused at export customs | For volume planning, our stretch film and box-size calculators are published in Turkish; tell us what you need and we will send the equivalent sheet in English. The items in this category are part of a pool of **35 listed items** here, published together with every other category on the [A to Z supply list](https://aksco.com.tr/en/products/supply-list/) — each with a short technical description and the unit it is ordered in. The same list is downloadable as a brand-free [technical specification in Word and a unit-price schedule in Excel](https://aksco.com.tr/en/specifications/). That pool is a starting point rather than a boundary: items outside it are quoted the same way, from their measurable specification. ## What we supply in this category - Boxes and cartons (standard and custom sizes) - Stretch film (hand and machine grade) - Packing tape and printed tapes - Bubble wrap and void-fill materials - Pallets, strapping and tensioners - Shrink and thermal packaging - Courier bags and envelopes - Labels, ribbons and barcode printer supplies - Cutters, scissors and packing hand tools - Scales and measuring equipment - Wooden and plastic pallets - Warehouse racking and stacking aids ## Why AKSCO? - **Buffer stock, planned ahead** — Safety stock on critical packaging items reduces the risk of an interruption. - **Custom production** — Custom-size boxes and printed tape produced to your standard. - **Volume pricing** — Contracted unit prices on regular consumption for cost stability. - **Fast ramp-up** — Quick capacity setup before a new warehouse or campaign season.

A single request often spans several categories; they are priced in one quote and settled on one invoice. The full list is on [product categories](https://aksco.com.tr/en/products/), and Turkish procurement terms you will meet on the paperwork are explained in the [glossary](https://aksco.com.tr/en/glossary/). ## Frequently Asked Questions Can you arrange custom-size boxes? Yes. With your dimensions and quantities we organise custom-size boxes, printed tape and similar custom production. Can you cover extra volume in peak season? Yes. Share your season plan in advance and we raise safety stock and adjust delivery frequency to demand. Should box dimensions be given as internal or external? Internal, because that is what determines whether the product fits, and state explicitly that they are internal. External dimensions matter separately for volumetric freight and for pallet fit. A quote that does not say which set it is quoting is not comparable — the wall thickness of a double-wall box can differ by 7–8 mm per side from a single-wall box of the same nominal size. How is stretch film compared between suppliers? On net film weight per roll and on micron thickness together, never on roll price alone. Two rolls quoted at the same price can differ by 30% in net weight once the core is excluded, and a thinner pre-stretched film can wrap more pallets than a thicker conventional one. Ask for micron, width, net weight and whether it is hand or machine grade on every line. Can packaging be supplied with our own print? Printed tape and printed boxes are available; both carry a one-off plate or die cost and a minimum order quantity, which we show as separate lines so you can see the break-even against plain packaging. Artwork must be supplied print-ready — graphic design is outside our scope. Do you ship outside Türkiye? Yes. We deliver across all 81 provinces of Türkiye and arrange export shipments abroad. On export orders the delivery term is agreed at quotation stage under Incoterms 2020 — EXW, FCA, CPT or DAP — and the quote states which party arranges and pays for carriage, and where our responsibility ends. Country of origin, HS code and any conformity documents needed for export are settled at the same stage. What does an export quote include, and what does it not? It includes the goods, export packing where required, and carriage up to the point defined by the agreed Incoterm. It does not include destination-country duties, taxes or customs charges — those sit with the buyer. Cargo insurance is not automatic under EXW, FCA, CPT or DAP; if you want it arranged, say so in the request and it appears as a separate line. Turkish VAT is zero-rated on exports once export clearance is completed. Is there a minimum order for an export shipment? There is no fixed minimum, but freight economics set a practical floor: on a low-value single-line order, carriage can exceed the value of the goods. Consolidating several categories into one shipment is usually what makes an export order worth placing — which is the same reason our buyers consolidate domestically. Tell us the delivery country and we will say honestly whether the freight makes sense before you spend time on a specification. These three questions are the same on every category and industry page. The full answer — Incoterms, the document set and ISPM 15 packing — is in our [export shipping guide](https://aksco.com.tr/en/insights/export-shipping-from-turkiye/). ## Related guides ### [e-Invoice and e-Waybill in Türkiye: What to Expect from Your Supplier](https://aksco.com.tr/en/insights/e-invoice-e-waybill-supplier-guide/) Which suppliers must issue e-documents in 2026?
