What Are Cardboard Mailer Boxes?

A cardboard mailer box is a custom-made folding box designed for packing, storing and shipping products. Most shipping mailer boxes use corrugated cardboard with a fluted layer between inner and outer linerboard. A die-cut blank folds into a base with sidewalls, a connected lid and locking flaps.

Key Features for Everyday Packaging

• Secure closure: Tuck tabs hold the lid closed. Add tape or security seals when needed for shipping.
• Strong sides: Folded sidewalls help the box keep its shape when stacked or handled.
• Lightweight board: Adds protection with little extra weight. A smaller box can also help control shipping costs.
• Durable material: Helps resist tears and punctures during transit.
• Easy setup: Boxes arrive flat to save space and fold along marked lines for quick packing.
• Reusable design: Customers can reuse undamaged boxes for storage.

Choose a Mailer Box Style That Makes Packing Easier

Choose cardboard mailing boxes around your product shape and packing needs. Each option offers a different way to pack, present or organize your items. Available styles include:

• Tuck Top Mailer Boxes: An attached lid tucks into the front. The wide opening makes items easy to pack and remove.
• Kraft Mailer Boxes: Natural brown eco-friendly mailer packaging gives your brand a simple look. It works well with logos and light printing.
• Open End Mailer Boxes: Items slide in through one end. This style suits flat or longer products.
• Die-Cut Mailer Boxes: Custom shapes and sizes fit your products closely. A better fit helps reduce movement.
• Display Mailer Boxes: These boxes open into a tray for counter displays.
• Mailer Boxes With Inserts: Trays and dividers keep items separate. They limit movement and keep products neatly arranged.

Select Cardboard Mailer Box Sizes That Leave Less Empty Space

Choose a mailer box size that fits your products, storage space and shipping needs. We offer sizes suitable for mailing through USPS and other carriers, along with custom dimensions.

Below are common sizes for different suitable products. Custom sizes are also available.

Choose Cardboard Materials That Suit Your Shipping Needs

The right cardboard mailer packaging balances strength, surface appearance and cost. Board construction matters more than choosing a thick material by appearance alone.

• Virgin Kraft Linerboard: A strong outer facing for corrugated board with a natural brown look.
• Recycled Corrugated Board: Made with recovered paper fibers. It suits brands that prefer recycled packaging.
• White or Clay-Coated Liners: Provide a bright, smooth surface for clear printing and colorful artwork.
• SBS Paperboard: Works well for printed facings and inserts. Shipping mailers still need a corrugated core for support.

Corrugated options include E flute for compact mailers, B flute for added cushioning and F flute for a thin profile with smooth printing.

Single wall board suits many everyday shipments. Heavier products may need stronger construction or an outer shipping box. Strength ratings such as 32 ECT measure resistance to edge crushing, rather than a fixed weight capacity.

Give Your Mailer Boxes a Branded Look Inside and Out

Personalize your printed cardboard mailer boxes with logos, brand colors and artwork. Use the inside lid for a thank you message, care instructions or a QR code that connects customers with your brand.

Choose a printing method that fits your design and order size:

• Digital CMYK Printing
• Flexographic Printing
• Offset Lithographic Printing
• Screen Printing

Complete your cardboard mailer packaging with premium finishes that suit your board and design:

• Matte or Gloss Lamination
• Soft Touch
• Foil Stamping
• Spot UV
• Embossing or Debossing

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I ship cardboard mailer boxes without an outer box?

Yes, when the mailer’s strength, closure and cushioning suit your products. Fragile or heavy items may need an outer box for extra protection.

When should I choose a single wall mailer box instead of a heavier construction?

Choose a single wall board for lighter products that need moderate protection. Heavier, fragile or tightly stacked shipments may require stronger construction.

Can one cardboard mailer hold multiple products securely?

Yes. Fitted inserts and dividers keep products separate and limit movement. Match each compartment to the item’s size and protection needs.

Which finishes work best when a mailer box needs to be handled during shipping?

Scuff resistant coatings or laminations help protect printed surfaces during shipping. Standard matte, gloss and soft touch finishes vary in durability, so select a finish designed for frequent handling.

How can I make a cardboard mailer box look premium without adding unnecessary packaging?

Use a close product fit, clear logo printing and coordinated colors. An inside lid message or a small foil detail adds appeal without extra wrapping.

What is the advantage of ordering custom mailer boxes instead of using standard sizes?

Custom mailers fit your products more closely, reducing empty space and loose filler. They also give you control over the box style, printing and presentation.
