Custom mailer boxes are essential for every growing e-commerce brand. They provide several benefits, such as improving customers’ brand experience and ensuring the product reaches the customer in pristine condition, which reduces losses due to returns of broken products.

Types

Mailer boxes usually come in three types

1. Single Layer Mailer Box
2. Double Layer Mailer Box
3. Three Layer  Mailer box

These are categorized depending on the layers of materials used in them. Single Layers only have a layer of cardboard; these are mostly used in shops as packaging for products. Single-layer mailer boxes can have both inside and outside print. Double-layer mailer boxes have one layer of cardboard and a layer of corrugation. These are used for shipping and provide great protection to your products until they reach their destination. Double-layer mailer boxes have outside print only. Three-layer mailer boxes have a layer of corrugation between two layers of cardboard/paperboard. This is used when custom printing needs to be done on both inside and outside.

Material

Mailer boxes are usually made using the following materials.

1. Cardboard: Used in all types of mailer boxes. Offers great print results and vibrant colors.
2. Corrugation: Corrugation is a crucial material for mailer boxes that are used in shipping and makes the box durable and strong.
3. Kraft: Kraft is an alternative to cardboard and is used for making eco-friendly mailer boxes.

Box Styles

Mailer boxes usually come in two styles, front end mailers and tear strip mailers. Front end mailers are the most common style for these boxes. This style has two flaps that go inside two slits or openings in front of the box. Tear strip mailers have a tear-off strip that customers can tear off to open the box. This ensures the box is not tampered with.

1. Custom Printing: Custom printing can be done on both inside and outside depending on the type of box.
