The Royal Mail size and weight guide for the UK is a handy reference of the standard dimensions of letters and parcels in the UK for when you are sending products through the post.
Knowing the size of your packaging is important as if you are sending goods in packaging that is larger than needed could cost you a lot of money in the long run.
The Royal Mail splits the level of postage charges between letters and parcels.
The two different sizes of letter are ‘Letter’ and ‘Large Letter’. There are three types of parcel size: ‘Small Parcel’, ‘Medium Parcel’ and ‘Large Parcel’.
