Mailer Boxes

Types of Corrugated Mailer Boxes

Depending on your particular packaging needs, you can choose from two main types of corrugated mailer boxes. These types include:

• Single-wall corrugated mailer boxes. This lightweight, cost-effective option is constructed from one layer of corrugated paper. Single-wall mailers consist of one layer of fluting between two flat cardboard liners to provide a suitable amount of cushioning and structure for small or light items. This option is ideal for shipping items that require a low level of protection.
• Double-wall corrugated mailer boxes. This solution provides more protection, durability, and cushioning than single-wall mailer boxes. Double wall-corrugated mailer boxes consist of two layers of corrugated fluting between three liners to provide a heavier structure. They are suitable for heavier goods or delicate products that need more protection.

Typical Applications for Corrugated Mailer Boxes

Corrugated mailer boxes are used across several industries and applications due to their ability to create a secure and protective environment for fragile items such as ceramics, glassware, electronics, and more. In addition to protecting items from impact during transit, corrugated mailer boxes also protect against dust, moisture, and other environmental factors.

One common industry that utilizes corrugated mailer boxes is e-commerce. As e-commerce retail sales continue to grow, so too does the need for quality corrugated boxes to ship products without damage. Because these boxes are lightweight and easy to work with, they help to keep shipping costs low. They can also be custom-printed to align with branding requirements and enhance the unboxing experience.

Industries such as automotive, pharmaceutical, and food and beverage rely on mailer boxes to ship car parts, medical supplies, and food items to consumers and retailers.

Corrugated Mailer Boxes Features & Options

To meet various packaging needs, corrugated boxes come with a wide range of features and options. These include:

• Recyclable and sustainable materials. When it comes to corrugated mailer boxes, sustainability and recycling are key considerations. These boxes can be constructed from fully recyclable and sustainable materials, providing an environmentally friendly option that reduces waste and conserves natural resources.
• Custom printing and branding. Corrugated mailer boxes can be customized with company branding and logos, offering an economical way to market your business. Custom printing can also be used to include additional information such as handling instructions and product specifications.
• Size/style. When determining the ideal size and style for your corrugated mailer box, it’s important to consider the weight and size of the item being shipped, as well as the amount of protection needed. By measuring your items and selecting the best corrugated box option, you can ensure the item will be shipped safely and securely.
