The Complete Guide to Custom Mailer Boxes
Everything you need to know about sizing, material, print, and cost when ordering your first run of custom mailers.
A mailer box is the first physical interaction a customer has with your brand. Get it right and the unboxing becomes a keepsake. Get it wrong and it gets flattened on the way to recycling.
In this guide we break down the four decisions that matter most: board grade, interior print, closure style, and run length. We'll walk through what each one does to cost, how they trade off against one another, and when it makes sense to splurge.
By the end, you'll have a clear brief you can hand to any packaging supplier — including us — and get back a mock-up that actually matches what's in your head.
