Bicycle Boxes

There’s a box for everything, and bicycles are no exception. Your bicycle can turn out to be one of the most important and valuable belongings, so finding a box that keeps your wheeled friend protected can be a hard task, as staff at airports treat most boxes the same, even if it says “fragile.” Don’t worry anymore, as we can provide you with the safest option for your bicycle, and prevent it from any indirect or direct harm.

Bicycle Shipping Boxes

Coroplast

Coroplast is a brand name of corrugated plastic, a material that’s more resistant than the traditional cardboard box. Coroplast is water resistant and creates a foolproof effect thanks to its robust nature, which makes it more durable for shipping.

There is no need for additional external straps or fasteners because new boxes of coroplast meet the International Safe Transit Association (ISTA) drop and shake standards, and is suitable for many types of bikes.

What’s even more special about the coroplast box is that it contains an internal system that doesn’t let the bike hit the corners, as it is intentionally designed to fit bikes with wider tires and maintain the good conditions during long travels. Also, do not worry about FedEx and UPS size restrictions, as it meets them all, as well as the inch shipping size limit (330 cm/ 130).

It is important to highlight that it may not be useful FOR ALL bikes, as coroplast boxes don’t fit bikes with colossal frames, long travel forks or wide tires.

Coroplast shipping boxes include Assortment of Frame Fork and Frame Spacers and bungee straps.

Cardboard

Cardboard boxes are the first option of many due to its cheap price and incredibly practical use.

Like coroplast boxes, cardboard ones can also offer robust protection. A single-wall cardboard construction and three-ply corners are what you’ll find when choosing your box, which is resistant, durable, and also has an internal system that keeps bikes from hitting the corners.

External straps and fasteners make up a self-locking design that will keep your bike safe at all costs. If you choose the cardboard box you don’t have to worry about the size, as all boxes are made to ship bikes with wider tires. Rest assured your bike WILL FIT.

The cardboard shipping box is perfect for all kinds of bikes and also includes an Assortment of Frame Fork and Frame Spacers, as well as Bungee Straps.

Fun fact: In 2016, a Dutch bike company printed television features on their shipping boxes to reduce product damage, so the airport staff would treat the box with more care and customers could have their ordered bike in really good conditions.

If you choose us, there won’t be any need to do this, although it could be pretty fun!

Hard bike case

Choosing the right case for your bike can be a difficult task, but if you want to keep your bicycle safe at all costs, then you should consider getting a hard case for it. This way, you can stop worrying all the time for the state of your bike while shipping. Stay calm and let the case do its magic. Most hard cases have rotating rolling wheels so you can carry it around like any other suitcase – cool, right?

Soft bike case

If you want something simple, then soft cases are going to save you the trouble of shipping your bike in a cardboard box, which can be very useful when used correctly, but when not, a bad packaging process or lose tape can provoke tiny accidents and damage your bike. Soft cases are easier to carry and the material is more resistant and flexible.
