What are Mailer Boxes Used For?

Mailer boxes are used to protect, transport and present products through ecommerce, DTC, subscription, retail and postal deliveries, including apparel, books, cosmetics, jewellery, electronics, accessories, snacks, crafts and gifts. Corrugated mailer boxes with self-locking folding structures can provide product protection and branded presentation, while custom dimensions, printing and suitable corrugated construction allow the packaging to be matched to lightweight, flat, thin or light-to-medium-weight products.

What is the Difference Between Mailer Boxes and Shipping Boxes?

The difference between mailer boxes and shipping boxes lies in their construction, closure, assembly, presentation and intended use. Mailer boxes typically feature integrated folding panels and self-locking tabs for quick assembly and branded product presentation, while standard shipping boxes are primarily designed for transit and commonly require separate sealing materials such as packing tape.

What Corrugated Flute Should I Choose for Custom Mailer Boxes?

The corrugated flute you should choose for custom mailer boxes depends on your product’s weight, fragility, dimensions, transit risk and required protection. You should choose E-flute for compact, lightweight mailers where printability, surface quality and a relatively thin board profile are important. Customers should select B-flute for heavier products or applications requiring greater compression and stacking performance, as it provides greater board thickness and structural resilience. You should choose C-flute or double-wall construction for larger dimensions, heavier contents or applications exposed to higher transit and stacking loads, where additional structural strength is required.

What Closure Options are Available for Custom Mailer Boxes?

The closure options available for custom mailer boxes include tuck flaps, locking tabs and integrated locking mechanisms, which secure the box without requiring separate tape or glue. These closures can provide secure sealing, quick access and convenient opening, making them suitable for ecommerce, retail and direct-to-consumer packaging.

Do You Deliver Custom Mailer Boxes Across the UK?

Artsy Packaging delivers custom mailer boxes across the UK, including England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland, supporting businesses with packaging orders for ecommerce, retail, subscription and direct-to-consumer fulfilment.

Are Mailer Boxes Recyclable?

Yes, some custom mailer boxes are recyclable, particularly those made from corrugated cardboard, cardboard and Kraft paper-based materials. These boxes can generally be recycled by removing non-paper components where required, flattening the box and placing it in the appropriate paper or cardboard recycling stream, while coatings, laminations, foils, plastics and other non-recyclable components may affect recyclability.

What Are Custom Mailer Boxes?

Custom mailer boxes are typically one-piece, foldable packaging structures with integrated panels, flaps and tuck or locking closures. Their construction allows the box to be supplied flat and assembled without the extensive sealing required by conventional shipping cartons.

Artsy Packaging designs these boxes to your required length, width and height, with suitable structures, printing and customisation options for your product and brand. Their foldable construction allows efficient flat shipping and quick assembly while providing integrated closure features that can reduce the need for additional sealing materials.

Mailer Boxes vs Standard Shipping Boxes

Mailer boxes and standard shipping boxes differ in construction, assembly, closure, flat-shipping efficiency, product fit, presentation, branding and internal protection, as shown in the table below.

Attribute	Rigid Boxes	Folding Cartons
Construction	Integrated one-piece, foldable structure with attached flaps	Separate panels and flaps, depending on style
Assembly	Quick folding with pre-scored panels and integrated flaps	Assembly requirements vary by box style

Presentation	Designed for branded product presentation and unboxing	Typically focused on functional shipping
Shipping	Suitable for direct product shipping, fulfilment and e-commerce	Used across broader general shipping applications
Branding	Supports custom exterior and, where available, interior printing	Branding depends on the box specification
Internal Protection	Can incorporate inserts, dividers or other internal features where required	Internal protection usually depends on additional packaging components

How Can You Customise Mailer Boxes for Your Product and Industry?

Artsy Packaging offers you multiple ways to customise mailer boxes for your product and industry, including length, width and height, structural and closure configurations, tear strips, interior and exterior printing, product-specific inserts and presentation add-ons. These options allow customers to configure each packaging element according to their product dimensions, protection requirements, shipping needs and brand presentation.

Custom Sizes & Dimensions
Our designers specify the length, width and height based on your product's dimensions, required internal space and shipping needs. We can develop different box sizes for multiple SKUs, helping each product fit securely without relying on a one-size-fits-all structure.
Custom Shapes & Structures
Artsy Packaging can adapt the panel dimensions, flap arrangement, closure structure and die-cut geometry to create a mailer suited to your product rather than a standard structure. Our designers consider the product's shape, size, weight and packing method when developing the required construction.
Custom Opening & Closure Options
We can configure tuck-top closures, locking tabs, ear-lock structures and other applicable flap or lid arrangements around your packaging requirements. The selected closure influences box security, assembly, opening convenience, reuse and the overall unboxing experience.
Tear Strips & Perforations
Artsy Packaging can incorporate tear strips and perforations where the mailer structure supports an easier opening method. These features provide e-commerce, subscription and direct-to-consumer packaging with a controlled opening path that customers can access without scissors.
Custom Printing & Branding
Our designers can apply your logo, brand artwork, colours, product information and promotional messaging to the exterior and, where available, interior of the mailer. This turns the shipping package into a branded touchpoint that supports recognition and a consistent unboxing experience.
Custom Inserts & Dividers
We can configure dividers, compartments, trays and protective inserts to keep individual products positioned and organised inside the mailer. These internal features are particularly useful for multiple-product packs, delicate items and products that require additional separation or cushioning.

Materials
- Cardboard
  Cardboard is a smooth, lightweight paperboard material suited to mailer applications that require easy handling, precise printing and a clean surface. These mailers are well-suited to lightweight products such as apparel, stationery, promotional items, cosmetics, and small retail products.
- Kraft Board
  Kraft paper is typically available in 80-150 GSM and provides a natural, uncoated outer surface for rigid box wrapping. Lower-GSM Kraft offers greater flexibility for wrapping around box edges, while higher-GSM Kraft provides a more substantial and durable outer wrap. Its paper surface also supports printing and selected finishing options.
- Art Paper
  Kraft board has a natural brown appearance and paper-based construction, making it suitable for brands seeking a natural, understated packaging aesthetic. Kraft mailers work particularly well for handmade products, clothing, subscription goods, food products, candles and other brands built around natural or minimalist presentation.
- White Board
  White board provides a clean, bright surface that supports clear reproduction of logos, product graphics, photographs and brand colours. White mailers are suitable for cosmetics, electronics, apparel, retail products and e-commerce orders where clean branding and strong print visibility are important.
- Corrugated Board
  Corrugated board uses a fluted layer between liners to provide rigidity, cushioning and structural support for products during handling and transit. Corrugated mailers are particularly suitable for e-commerce, subscription boxes, electronics, books, apparel, gifts and other products that require greater structural support during shipping.
- Sustainable & Recyclable Material Options
  Sustainable and recyclable paper-based materials can support packaging requirements that prioritise recyclability, recycled content or reduced use of non-paper components. These options are particularly relevant to food, cosmetics, apparel, subscription, retail and e-commerce brands with specific recyclable or paper-based packaging requirements.
Printing
- Digital Printing
  Digital printing applies digital artwork directly to the mailer box surface, making it suitable for detailed graphics, photographs, logos and full-colour designs. This printing option works well for product launches, promotional packaging, subscription boxes and brands requiring flexible production quantities.
- Offset Printing
  Offset printing transfers ink through printing plates to produce consistent, high-quality reproduction of detailed artwork and brand colours. Offset printing is well suited to larger-volume orders, retail packaging, e-commerce brands and established businesses requiring consistent branding across multiple boxes.
- CMYK Printing
  CMYK process printing combines cyan, magenta, yellow and black inks to reproduce full-colour artwork, photographs, gradients and illustrations. This type of printing suits cosmetics, food, apparel, electronics and other products where detailed product imagery or colourful brand artwork is important.
- Pantone Colour Matching
  Pantone colour matching allows specified PMS colours to be reproduced as spot colours where the selected printing process and substrate support them. It is particularly useful for brands with defined corporate colours that require consistent colour reproduction across mailer boxes and other branded packaging.
- Inside & Outside Printing
  Inside and outside printing allows artwork, branding and messaging to appear on both the exterior and interior surfaces of the mailer box. Exterior printing can present logos and product information, while interior printing can add thank-you messages, instructions, promotional content or branded unboxing elements.
Finishing
- Matte Lamination
  Matte lamination is a coating applied over the printed surface of a mailer box to reduce shine and provide a smooth finish. This finishing option creates a soft, non-reflective appearance suited to cosmetics, skincare, fashion, jewellery and premium retail packaging.
- Gloss Lamination
  Gloss lamination is a clear coating applied over the printed surface to create a smooth, reflective finish. This type of finishing produces a vibrant, high-shine appearance suitable for food packaging, promotional mailers, colourful e-commerce packaging and product launches.
- Soft-Touch Finish
  Soft-touch finishing applies a specialised coating that gives the mailer box surface a smooth, velvety feel. The velvety coating adds a smooth, premium tactile quality suited to cosmetics, beauty products, luxury gifts, fashion and premium subscription boxes.
- Spot UV
  Spot UV is a localised glossy coating applied only to selected areas of the printed design. It creates glossy highlights against the surrounding surface, helping logos, brand names, patterns and graphics stand out.
- Foil Stamping
  Foil stamping applies a thin decorative foil to selected areas of the mailer box using heat and pressure. The foil creates a metallic or decorative appearance on selected logos, text or artwork, making it suited to jewellery, cosmetics, fragrances, luxury gifts and premium packaging.
- Embossing
  Embossing raises selected text, logos or artwork above the surface of the mailer box. The raised elements create a three-dimensional texture suited to cosmetics, jewellery, luxury gifts and premium retail products.
- Debossing
  Debossing presses selected text, logos or artwork into the mailer box surface. The recessed elements create a subtle, tactile appearance suited to minimalist packaging, luxury products, natural brands and premium gifts.
- Raised Ink
  Raised ink uses a specialised printing process to build selected printed elements above the packaging surface. The raised print adds texture and dimensional emphasis to logos, typography and graphics, making it suited to cosmetics, fashion, promotional and premium retail mailers.
Box Styles
- Roll End Tuck Front (C003)
  Custom roll end tuck front mailer boxes feature an attached lid with a front tuck closure that folds securely into the front panel. They are ideal for ecommerce and subscription shipments, providing secure transit and easy packing and opening.
- Roll End Tuck Top (C002)
  Custom roll end tuck top mailer boxes use a roll-end construction with an attached top lid that tucks into the box for closure. They suit cosmetics, soaps, retail products and ecommerce orders, offering secure packaging and a neat unboxing experience.
- Roll Ends With Lid (C005)
  Custom roll end mailer boxes with lids feature a roll-end structure with an attached lid that folds over the product compartment for closure. These box styles are suitable for lightweight products and everyday ecommerce orders, enabling efficient packing and presentable delivery.
- Roll End 3-Flap Lock (C004)
  Custom roll end 3-flap lock mailer boxes use an attached closure with three interlocking flaps to secure the box without conventional packing tape. They suit ecommerce, subscription and fulfilment applications, providing added closure security during shipping.
- Pizza-Style / One-Piece Folder Mailer
  Custom pizza-style mailer boxes use a one-piece folded structure with an integral lid, side panels and locking or tuck-in tabs. These box styles are used for apparel, books, prints, subscription products and other flat items, providing a snug fit for shipping.
- Lock-Corner Mailer
  Custom lock-corner mailer boxes use interlocking corner tabs to create a self-locking structure with added rigidity around the box. They suit ecommerce and shipping applications, providing stability and greater resistance to movement and crushing during transit.
Inserts
- Cardboard Inserts
  Cardboard inserts are die-cut or folded board components placed inside the mailer box to hold products in defined positions. This structure provides support and helps prevent lightweight items from shifting during handling and transit.
- Paperboard Inserts
  Paperboard inserts are lightweight formed or die-cut components designed to organise products within the mailer box. Their lightweight construction offers a clean internal structure while providing product positioning and basic support.
- Dividers
  Dividers are vertical or horizontal internal sections that split the box into separate areas for individual products. This separation reduces contact between items and helps minimise movement during handling and transit.
- Compartments
  Compartments are enclosed or partially separated sections formed within an insert to accommodate individual products or components. The defined spaces keep multiple items organised and properly positioned inside the mailer box.
- Trays
  Trays are shaped internal platforms that sit inside the mailer box and hold products in a defined position. This format improves product presentation while making individual items easier to access and remove.
  Request a Quote
- Protective Padding
  Protective padding can be added where the product requires additional cushioning against shock, vibration or contact with the box interior. The material and thickness of protective padding should be selected according to the product’s fragility, weight and distribution conditions.
  Request a Quote
- Custom-Fit Interiors
  Custom-fit interiors are purpose-designed inserts shaped to the specific dimensions and contours of a product. This precise fit minimises internal movement and provides enhanced support for fragile, delicate or irregularly shaped items.
  Request a Quote
Addons
- Die Cutting
  Die cutting creates precise shapes, openings, handles or structural features in the mailer box, enabling customisation for specific product, design and functional requirements.
- Window Patching
  Window patching applies a transparent film over a die-cut opening, giving customers a clear view of the packaged product while keeping it enclosed and protected.
- Perforation
  Perforation creates a controlled line of small cuts in the box material, making specific sections easier to tear or open without affecting the rest of the packaging.
- Tear Strips
  Tear strips are integrated opening strips built into the mailer box to provide a quick and convenient opening method without scissors or other cutting tools.
- Handles
  Die-cut or integrated handles can be added where the board construction and box geometry can support the intended carrying load. Handle dimensions, position and reinforcement should be considered alongside the product weight and distribution requirements.
- Custom Closures
  Custom closures are structural features that secure the mailer box during storage, handling and transit while providing a controlled and convenient opening experience.

Why Choose Custom Mailer Boxes for Different Products and Industries?

You should choose custom mailer boxes for different products and industries because they provide product-specific customisation, product protection during shipping and storage, convenient handling, strong brand presentation and flexible design options. Their dimensions, structure, materials, inserts, printing and finishing can be tailored to the product, industry and intended packaging application.

Product Protection During Shipping and Storage
Custom mailer boxes use corrugated board, product-specific dimensions and internal inserts to keep products positioned during handling and transit. Available flute profiles and board constructions can be selected based on the required combination of calliper, compression strength, cushioning, printability, and stacking performance. For example, E-flute can suit compact printed mailers, while B- or C-flute and double-wall constructions can provide greater structural support for heavier or more demanding applications
Easy Assembly and Handling
Custom mailer boxes simplify fulfilment through pre-scored panels and integrated folding and closure features. Manufacturer-applied adhesive may be used on selected seams of custom mailer boxes, while locking or tuck features secure the assembled box. Integrated tuck, tab and locking features can reduce or eliminate the need for separate tape during final assembly, depending on the mailer structure.
Flat Shipping and Storage
Custom mailer boxes help reduce storage space and simplify packaging inventory management because their foldable construction keeps them flat before assembly. This compact format allows businesses to store more boxes in the same area and ship unused packaging more efficiently.
Stackability
A well-specified mailer can support stable stacking when its board construction, dimensions and geometry are matched to the expected load. Consistent box dimensions can also improve pallet and storage efficiency, while the required compression strength depends on the stacking conditions.
Premium Product Presentation
Mailer boxes provide a premium presentation that comes from the interaction between structure, substrate, print quality and finishing rather than from the box shape alone. Matte or soft-touch coatings, foil, Spot UV, embossing and high-quality CMYK or PMS reproduction can be used selectively to establish the intended visual and tactile character.
Strong Brand Visibility
Custom mailer boxes help strengthen brand recognition across delivery and unboxing touchpoints by providing dedicated surfaces for branded communication. Exterior and interior printing, CMYK or PMS colour reproduction, logos, brand colours, graphics and product messaging keep the packaging visually consistent from the outside to the inside.
Enhanced Unboxing Experience
Custom mailer boxes create a more convenient, organised and branded unboxing experience by combining functional opening features with interior presentation. Tear strips provide tool-free opening, while interior printing and product-fit inserts organise the contents and reinforce branded messaging.
Reusability Where Suitable
Custom mailer boxes can support repeated use when their construction is designed for reuse. Durable corrugated board, strong fold lines, reinforced panels, secure tuck closures and tear-resistant construction can help the box withstand repeated opening, closing and handling.

How Much Do Custom Mailer Boxes Cost?

The cost of custom mailer boxes starts from £0.18 per box, with the final unit price depending on box dimensions, MOQ, board specification, flute, printing, finishing, structural features and delivery requirements. A higher MOQ and simpler specifications can lower the unit cost, while bigger box dimensions, complex structures, inserts and additional features can increase the overall price.

What Affects the Price of Custom Mailer Boxes?
The cost of custom mailer boxes depends on box dimensions, MOQ, board grade, flute type and structural complexity, with larger dimensions, stronger materials, complex structures, and lower MOQs generally increasing the unit cost. Printing, the number of print sides and finishes such as foil, Spot UV, embossing and debossing can also increase production costs. Inserts, compartments, closures, tear strips and other add-ons add material or manufacturing requirements, while delivery costs depend on packed dimensions, shipment weight, quantity and destination.
How Can You Control Your Mailer Box Costs?
You can control custom mailer box costs by choosing specifications that match your product and fulfilment requirements without adding unnecessary features. Brands can select suitable dimensions, board grade, printing, finishes and structural features based on actual packaging needs, while an appropriate MOQ can help lower the unit cost. You can discuss your packaging requirements with Artsy Packaging’s experts to review the specifications and identify cost-effective options that reduce the overall packaging cost without compromising product protection or presentation.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are Mailer Boxes Used For?
Mailer boxes are used to protect, transport and present products through ecommerce, DTC, subscription, retail and postal deliveries, including apparel, books, cosmetics, jewellery, electronics, accessories, snacks, crafts and gifts. Corrugated mailer boxes with self-locking folding structures can provide product protection and branded presentation, while custom dimensions, printing and suitable corrugated construction allow the packaging to be matched to lightweight, flat, thin or light-to-medium-weight products.
What is the Difference Between Mailer Boxes and Shipping Boxes?
The difference between mailer boxes and shipping boxes lies in their construction, closure, assembly, presentation and intended use. Mailer boxes typically feature integrated folding panels and self-locking tabs for quick assembly and branded product presentation, while standard shipping boxes are primarily designed for transit and commonly require separate sealing materials such as packing tape.
What Corrugated Flute Should I Choose for Custom Mailer Boxes?
The corrugated flute you should choose for custom mailer boxes depends on your product’s weight, fragility, dimensions, transit risk and required protection. You should choose E-flute for compact, lightweight mailers where printability, surface quality and a relatively thin board profile are important.

Customers should select B-flute for heavier products or applications requiring greater compression and stacking performance, as it provides greater board thickness and structural resilience. You should choose C-flute or double-wall construction for larger dimensions, heavier contents or applications exposed to higher transit and stacking loads, where additional structural strength is required.
What Closure Options are Available for Custom Mailer Boxes?
The closure options available for custom mailer boxes include tuck flaps, locking tabs and integrated locking mechanisms, which secure the box without requiring separate tape or glue. These closures can provide secure sealing, quick access and convenient opening, making them suitable for ecommerce, retail and direct-to-consumer packaging.
Do You Deliver Custom Mailer Boxes Across the UK?
Artsy Packaging delivers custom mailer boxes across the UK, including England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland, supporting businesses with packaging orders for ecommerce, retail, subscription and direct-to-consumer fulfilment.
Are Mailer Boxes Recyclable?
Yes, some custom mailer boxes are recyclable, particularly those made from corrugated cardboard, cardboard and Kraft paper-based materials. These boxes can generally be recycled by removing non-paper components where required, flattening the box and placing it in the appropriate paper or cardboard recycling stream, while coatings, laminations, foils, plastics and other non-recyclable components may affect recyclability.
