Custom Mailer Box FAQs
1. Do I need an outer shipping box for my custom mailer?
No! Our mailer boxes are designed to be “shippers.” They are built from sturdy corrugated cardboard that meets all US shipping standards. Simply paste a shipping label on it and it’s ready for the mail, saving you money on double-packaging.
2. Can I print on the inside of the mailer box?
Yes! Interior printing is a major trend. Printing a “Thank You” message or a social media handle on the inside lid creates a “wow” moment when the customer opens their package.
3. What is the most popular size for subscription boxes?
The “standard” subscription box size in the USA is 10″ x 8″ x 4″ or 9″ x 6″ x 3″. However, because we offer custom sizing, we can build a box tailored to your specific product dimensions to prevent items from rattling during transit.
4. Are these boxes eco-friendly?
Absolutely. All our corrugated mailers are 100% recyclable and biodegradable. We use sustainable sourcing (FSC-certified) and soy-based inks to ensure your brand’s footprint is as light as your shipping weight.
5. What is the difference between E-flute and B-flute for custom mailer boxes?
E-Flute (1/16″): The “Gold Standard” for e-commerce. It has a slim profile that saves on storage space and offers the smoothest surface for high-definition logo printing. Best for cosmetics, jewelry, and subscription boxes.
B-Flute (1/8″): The “Heavy Lifter.” It is thicker and provides more “crush resistance” and cushioning. Best for heavier items, glass jars, or industrial parts that need extra protection during long-distance shipping.
6. Are Kraft mailer boxes as strong as white corrugated boxes?
Yes, in terms of structural integrity, Natural Kraft mailer boxes are just as strong as white corrugated boxes. Both typically carry a 32 ECT (Edge Crush Test) rating, meaning they offer the same vertical stacking strength
7. Can I get compostable custom mailers that are also water-resistant?
Absolutely. In 2026, the “eco-vs-utility” gap has closed. We offer compostable mailers treated with a bio-based aqueous coating.
8. How much weight can a 32 ECT mailer box hold?
A standard 32 ECT (Edge Crush Test) mailer box is engineered to safely hold up to 30 lbs (13.6 kg) of content.
