Elevate Your Shipping Experience with Custom-Printed Mailer Boxes
Create unforgettable unboxing experiences with custom rigid boxes designed for luxury brands. From magnetic closure boxes to elegant two-piece designs, our premium rigid packaging combines sophisticated aesthetics with superior protection. Perfect for cosmetics, jewelry, electronics, and high-end retail products
Stand out from the sea of plain brown boxes with custom mailer boxes that turn every shipment into a marketing opportunity. Unlike standard corrugated boxes, branded mailer boxes serve as both protective shipping containers and powerful brand ambassadors – eliminating the need for additional packaging while creating Instagram-worthy unboxing experiences.
Our custom mailer boxes combine the durability of corrugated cardboard with stunning visual design, creating packaging that protects products during shipping while building brand recognition and customer loyalty. Whether you’re launching a dropshipping business, scaling your Amazon FBA operation, or running a subscription box service, mailer boxes provide the perfect balance of functionality, aesthetics, and affordability.
Manufactured in China and shipped directly to your location, our mailer boxes offer professional custom packaging at competitive wholesale pricing – making premium packaging accessible to businesses of all sizes.
Mailer boxes eliminate the need for separate shipping boxes and branded packaging. Products ship directly in your custom-branded boxes, reducing packaging costs and streamlining fulfillment operations. This is especially valuable for dropshipping businesses and high-volume e-commerce stores.
Designed specifically for shipping, mailer boxes feature self-locking tabs that assemble in seconds without tape or adhesive. Corrugated construction protects products during transit while maintaining a professional appearance when delivered to customers’ doorsteps.
Studies show 83% of consumers share quality packaging on social media, and 52% are more likely to repurchase from brands with memorable packaging. Custom mailer boxes create these share-worthy moments without premium rigid box pricing.
Every e-commerce business has unique packaging needs. Choose from eco-friendly kraft, premium white, or full-color printed options – all fully customizable with your branding.
Our most popular option features natural brown kraft paper with black printing - the perfect combination of sustainability and style. Eco-friendly, affordable, and ideal for brands emphasizing natural, authentic values. Starting at the lowest price point, kraft mailer boxes deliver premium appearance on modest budgets.
Premium white mailer boxes provide a blank canvas for colorful branding. The bright white surface makes logos and graphics pop while conveying cleanliness and modernity. Slightly higher cost than kraft but delivers crisp, professional presentation.
Maximum brand impact with full-color printing inside and out. Create completely custom designs with multiple colors, gradients, photos, and complex graphics. These 'unboxing pride' boxes turn packaging into memorable experiences customers share online.
Beyond standard sizes, we create custom dimensions perfectly fitted to your products - optimizing protection while minimizing dimensional weight shipping costs. From tiny jewelry boxes (4×4×2") to large apparel boxes (12×9×4"), we manufacture exact sizes you need.
