New! Luggage Shipping Boxes

New at AnnexBoxStore.com/OnlinePackagingSuppliesStore.com:
Luggage/Suitcase Boxes.

Thinking of traveling soon for work or pleasure? Consider a suitcase box.

Advantages:

  • Trade a $50 luggage fee at many airlines with shipping fee, often less.

  • Travel with less.

  • No worry about lost luggage when you arrive, it's already there!

  • Tracked so you always know where it is.

  • Planning to buy things at your destination? Send your extra purchases home.

The small luggage shipping box is acceptable for carryon sizes and holds up to 55 lbs. The larger luggage shipping box can hold up to 85 lbs, and is perfect for lighter but bulky items such as coats and sweaters. As we roll through summer and into cooler Fall and Winter weather, these boxes will be very handy for carrying winterwear.

Buy a Franchise That Offers Flexibility

One of the factors that makes a PostalAnnex+ different from other opportunities is the flexibility of product offerings. When you buy a franchise from PostalAnnex+, you get to tailor some part of the business model to fit your community's needs.

Services such as wide format printing, high-speed scanning, shredding, disc duplication, slide conversion, selling packaging supplies online and more are all examples of services some, but not all, of our franchisees offer to their neighborhood.

Like a menu we've prepared in a fine restaurant, you can select those products and services you think will meet the needs of those in your community.

When you buy a franchise from us, you aren't treated like a location number, but an entrepreneur looking for the best fit of individual skills and desires for their own business.

Contact our Franchising Department today and ask for more information to help you decide if a PostalAnnex+ is a good fit for your goals and aspirations.

Is a Retail Franchise Opportunity for You?

The recent rebound of the stock market has provided more self-funding opportunities for those seeking a change in direction - to own their own business.

As the market values increase in one's portfolio, including their 401(k) and equivalent retirement accounts, the amount that can be borrowed increases.

This is opening new opportunities for funding either a startup or to purchase an existing business.

And if you enjoy working with many types of people, the retail industry might be a good fit for you.

PostalAnnex+ offers a retail franchise opportunity in the pack and ship industry with a tested system. Finally, you won't have to line the boss's pockets anymore; you get a shot at determining your own future, including one you may choose to pass along to a family member.

The PostalAnnex+ retail franchise opportunity includes business services such as shipping with FedEx, UPS, the USPS and DHL. It also offers a neighborhood resource for private mailbox rental, notary public service, copying service, packaging supplies, moving supplies, key duplication, full color printing, fax sending and receiving and much more.

What's best is that you can customize your PostalAnnex+ retail franchise opportunity to meet the needs and requests of your own community. Are people asking for shredding services? You can add that. What about video duplication, high speed scanning or wide format printing? These are examples of business services that some of our owners choose to offer because of demand from their customers.

So talk to one of our franchise development specialists today and see if a PostalAnnex+ business service center is the right fit for you.

PostalAnnex+ is a member of the Annex Brands family of franchise brands. Other brands include Handle With Care Packaging Store and Sunshine Pack & Ship.

FedEx..a Great Shipping Partner in Saving the Environment

At Annex Brands, we have a strong, long-term positive relationship with FedEx, one of the carrier choices at each of our PostalAnnex+, Handle With Care Packaging Store and Sunshine Pack & Ship franchised locations. One of the reasons why we enjoy working with FedEx is their advanced social responsbility, including the company's impact on the environment. Here's a blog posting from Mitch Jackson, vice president of FedEx Corporations Environmental Affairs and Sustainability department to recognize the company's efforts on Earth Day:



“We can’t solve problems by using the same kind of thinking we used when we created them” – Albert Einstein

When Earth Day was first recognized in 1970, FedEx had yet to ship its first package. It was not until three years later that our founder’s vision of a transportation system accommodating time-sensitive shipments became a reality. During the rest of the 1970s and well into the 1980s, the focus for businesses and the government was primarily around environmental compliance, and not necessarily environmental stewardship.

Now, forty years later from that first Earth Day, we focus on integrating environmental sustainability into business objectives, making it part-and-parcel of our business. As a part of this, we have launched EarthSmart – A FedEx Commitment.

EarthSmart is our commitment to minimize our impact on the environment. It’s designed to encourage innovation that makes our business — the way we work and the services we offer — more sustainable, both economically and environmentally. Our aim is to find or create new ways not only to improve our own company’s environmental performance, but also to point the way for other companies, in our own industry and beyond. You can find out more by clicking here.

It is important to have moments of reflection, whether on Earth Day, or every day that one focuses upon making their actions more sustainable. So, to ensure that we are all living Earth Day everyday, we are focusing on being EarthSmart to empower our team members to be better stewards in the workplace, for our customers, our shareowners and in our communities.

Albert Einstein also said, “It’s not that I’m so smart, it’s just that I stay with problems longer.” Just as Earth Day has had sustaining power over the decades, so, too, the work to “stay with problems longer” and integrate environmental sustainability – to be EarthSmart – should continue to prosper by innovating, and ultimately, continuing to improve everyday practices.

Here’s to Earth Day.


So when you ship FedEx at any of our franchised locations, you're choosing a company that continues to place a sizable investment in sustaining and improving our environment as a result of the company's operations.

At PostalAnnex+, Handle With Care Packaging Store and Sunshine Pack & Ship, we offer customers the ability to compare shipping rates, including FedEx, along with offering packaging supplies in-store and online, private mailbox rental, notary public service, office supplies, copy services, shipping of FLAV items (Fragile, Large, Awkward or Valuable), and more.
