One piece of corrugated with a roll-over front, dust flaps and locking tabs that keep the lid shut without tape. Ships flat, folds up in seconds. Subscription kits use it a lot, so do apparel brands, booksellers and small electronics shops.
Your time is very important to us so we have kept it short.
Fold the sides up. Roll the front over the top. Push two tabs into their slots, and you’re done. A tab lock roll end corrugated box sounds boring written down, kind of, but it feels great in your hands, one sheet of board folding into a tidy box with double-thick side walls that stays shut without any tape at all.
You’ve almost certainly opened one. That box your monthly socks or your coffee subscription showed up in? Probably this. It ships the thing and it presents the thing, one box doing both, and the corners close up tight so nothing pokes out.
Each side wall folds over on itself. Two layers, so it feels stiffer than a regular folding carton, and then the front panel rolls over the contents and tucks into the base while two tabs on the lid lock into little slots in the front, which is what keeps it closed when it’s being tossed around in a mail bag.
Weak spot? The tabs.
Stuff it too full and they strain and can pop out, so leave a bit of headroom, and for anything heavy we’d still add a strip of tape or a sticker seal across the front (it also shows nobody’s opened it, which customers kind of like).
Our default is E-flute, it folds clean and prints nicely and a couple of pounds of t-shirts or books in there is no problem at all. Something heavier, or fragile like a ceramic mug set, and we’d bump you to B-flute, even if the folds look a little chunkier. Double wall exists for really heavy kits, but honestly at that point a regular shipping carton is usually the better tool.
White corrugated gets you bright, clean print. Kraft has that brown natural look eco-minded brands like, and costs a little less. Both are recyclable. When to step up wall strength is covered in our single, double and triple wall guide.
Outside, inside, or both. The inside is where brands have fun, a pattern or a welcome note or a QR code to a how-to video, and it’s the first thing anyone sees when the lid comes up, so we’d think about it.
Starting from nothing? Our mailer box dimensions guide lists common sizes. Worth comparing against custom mailer boxes and tuck top mailer boxes too, or browse all our corrugated shipping boxes.
For lighter items, usually no, the tabs hold it. Heavy or pricey stuff, add a strip of tape or a branded sticker.
Yep, flat. No glue, a few seconds to fold, and a stack of 200 fits in a corner instead of taking over the garage.
Minimums are low, often around 50 boxes depending on the style, and the price per box drops as quantity grows. Production takes 10 to 12 business days after proof approval, and ground shipping is free in the USA.
Plenty of customers order this alongside holiday mailer boxes, white shipping boxes, kraft corrugated boxes and black mailer boxes. More styles are in corrugated shipping boxes, and mailer box dimensions covers the common sizes.
