Question 1

What is a mailer box?

Accepted Answer

A mailer box is a sturdy corrugated box built for shipping and unboxing, also called a custom mailer box, e-commerce box, or shipping box. It folds flat, locks together without tape, and can be printed inside and out, which is why e-commerce, subscription, and DTC brands use it for a branded unboxing. It ships flat to keep shipping and storage costs down.

Question 2

What sizes do mailer boxes come in?

Accepted Answer

You can pick a standard size from the menu, or set a fully custom size to fit your product exactly (measured length x width x height). We fully customize dimensions, so build your exact size in the 3D quote tool and see the price instantly. A snug fit means less wasted space and filler.

Question 3

Matte or gloss: what lamination can I add to a mailer box?

Accepted Answer

Both. Matte lamination gives a smooth, low-glare surface, and Gloss gives a shiny, vibrant one. Lamination is a thin film over the print that sets the feel and protects the artwork.

Question 4

What's the minimum order for custom mailer boxes?

Accepted Answer

100 boxes. That's low enough for a first launch or market test, with wholesale and bulk pricing as you scale. The unit cost drops at each quantity tier as you build your order.

Question 5

How much do custom mailer boxes cost?

Accepted Answer

Price depends on material (White or Kraft Board), size, quantity, printing (outside, inside, or double sided), lamination, finishing, and any custom insert. Larger quantities lower the unit cost, while added printing and finishes raise it. The 3D quote tool updates your landed price live as you build, so there are no surprises.

Question 6

How long do custom mailer boxes take to make and ship?

Accepted Answer

Production takes 7 to 12 business days after proof approval. Shipping then depends on your tier: Express is fastest at about a week, with Priority, Standard, and Economy at lower cost and longer transit. Exact timelines show as you build your order.

Question 7

Can I put food directly inside a mailer box?

Accepted Answer

No. Mailer boxes are not for direct food contact, so use them as shipping or outer packaging around a product in its own primary pack. If your product touches the packaging directly, use our flexible packaging (pouches) to hold the food, then a mailer box to ship it.

Question 8

What finishing effects can I add, like foil or Spot UV?

Accepted Answer

You can add Hot Foil for a metallic shine, Spot UV for glossy highlights on areas like your logo, and Emboss for a raised, tactile effect. These finishing touches sit on top of your print for a premium look.
