Mug sized cardboard boxes

Hi, asking yet another question because I am not having any luck looking up anything on Google for anything it appears.

Would anyone know a site which would sell boxes for mugs in Finland? The mugs I am packing are the same size of those Moomin mugs. They're about 11cm from side to the other hand side. Can't remember the height right now.

The boxes need just a bit of room for bubble wrap too.

I've found plenty of companies selling boxes, but none which sell small enough boxes.

I think I could even take a bit bigger box which has partitions in them. The cups would then still be separated but still together in a secured fashion. Actually that'd be great. I saw Zalando had them (granted that's not a packing site. I came across it accidentally). But the individual partitions were 1 cm too small. But they'd have been perfect!

Thanks!

Oh those Ebay products are perfect! But I fear I don't have much time. That would they come in time? I have to leave my flat by 31.1.

Oh and I've sold my car now. I wouldn't know how to get them from Posti to my home. Damn. Have to get a friend to help if I can.

I have 21 mugs. Made by that Heljä Liukko-Sundström artist who works/worked for Arabia. Think she's retiring now. They're not the Moomin mugs, but the "Design" Rabbit Mugs she has done over the years. They're rarer and much more expensive than the Moomin ones. Some of them I have have a value of more than 100€ now. So I really don't want them broken. I don't collect them to sell them, but cause I love rabbits

Thanks for your help!

Go to Iittala outlet and ask for original packaging materials, they tend to have stuff like that laying around in some cases at packing stations for customers. Mugs tend to come in boxes of six (2 by 3) of sturdy corrugated cardboard with separate compartments for each mug.

Alternately, go to your local alko, and ask for some wine boxes with the partitions in them. they are perfect for this...

I've already wrapped and boxed the cups up.
