This guide covers styles, sizes, materials, and cost, then gives you a fast way to price your exact mailer.
Custom mailer box styles
- Roll end tuck top mailer. The classic ecommerce mailer, with strong side walls, a secure tuck front, and a large printable interior for unboxing.
- Roll end front lock mailer. Adds a front locking tab for extra security on heavier products.
- Mailer with lid. A separate lid for a premium reveal, closer to a rigid feel.
- Mailer with insert. A snug foam or cardboard insert holds fragile or multi piece products in place.
Common mailer box sizes

Any size. Common presets range from about 3x3x1 up to 14x10x4 inches, and any custom size is free so the mailer fits your product and lowers dimensional shipping cost.

How long does production take?
Typically about 10 to 14 business days after artwork approval. Tell us your deadline and we will confirm the timeline and any rush options.
