Lil Packaging Clever postal packaging, for almost everything! We manufacture and supply e-commerce packaging to the world's largest online retailers.

Lil Packaging is part of the Mainline Packaging family. Established by Roger Lill in 1983, Mainline initially focused on the supply of packaging to the major photo processors. It has grown from supplying Kodak enlargement envelopes to being Europe’s largest independent packaging manufacturer supplying an extensive range of e-commerce packaging solutions to customers across the globe. Everything we do is tried, tested and perfected through extensive research with the world's largest online retailers and it’s the reason we produce the most operationally cost-effective range of cardboard postal packaging on the market. At Lil, we don’t just innovate. We design and manufacture every last mailer, envelope and cardboard CD case ourselves, and we keep the entire range in stock. We’re also still family-run, still independent, and still love what we do. The Lil difference
• Seriously fast to use
• Family, and world friendly
• Researched sizes to fit your needs
• Maximum protection, always
• Consistent supply
• British ingenuity

Which iconic album will you be putting on the turntable for National Album Day 2026? 🎵

While music has changed dramatically over the years, there’s still something special about an album you can hold.

The artwork. The sleeve. The record itself.

At Lil Packaging we make the best ecommerce packaging for vinyl records, designed to help protect the album on its journey from retailer to record lover.

We've got it all: envelopes, stiffeners, CLP mailers, 10 way (demonstrated here by Lizzie in our video), 25 way, 50 way and 100 way specialist LP boxes and even a DJ box for larger items.

Already trusted by leading retailers like Rough Trade Records and available custom printed. You can find them all here:

Test new formats before demand ramps up.
Reduce packing times with smarter designs.
Optimise box sizes to minimise void fill and courier costs.
Ensure your packaging is ready to cope with peak order volumes.

Looking for a simple way to add branding to your packaging without investing in fully bespoke boxes?

Our new custom paper tape could be a good place to start.

Made with recycled paper fibres and with a natural imitation kraft tape appearance, it provides a recyclable alternative to plastic packing tape while giving you space to add your logo or artwork.

For start-ups and growing brands, it can be a more economical way to make standard packaging feel like your own, and it can be a useful stepping stone before investing in fully branded packaging.

"This is really the eye opener of just how much void fill we're all using in this sector"

Fred talks about how much void fill is being used in ecommerce.

A real eye opener to the amount of waste produced in filling around 70% of the air surrounding the product.

You can find our solutions to this here in the form of retention packaging and variable-height boxes:
