Custom Mailer Boxes for Safe and Reliable Shipping
E‑commerce founders and solo sellers carry angst when shipping their products. The issue of shipping is a reasonable concern, but it can be solved using custom boxes.
The Premier Packaging makes self-locking mailer boxes for everyday shipping, made from high-grade cardboard and corrugated board. These materials for making mailing boxes stay strong while keeping shipping weight low.
So, if you are looking for a shipping box that can both promote and protect the products you sell, our customized boxes are the answer.
Standard Sizes and Optimized Dimensions
We offer a range of standard mailer box sizes for subscription boxes and e-commerce retailers, each dimensioned to align with major USPS and FedEx rate classes. Every box uses the roll-end tuck front style — a self-locking design that assembles quickly without tape or glue.
| Standard Size (L x W x H) | Ideal Use Case | Optimization Feature |
| 5 x 3 x 1.5 inches | Small accessories, jewelry, promotional samples | Reduced Shipping Cost |
| 6 x 4 x 3 inches | Cosmetics, candles, small electronics | Common USPS/FedEx size class |
| 6 x 5 x 2.25 inches | Small, flat items, custom greeting card sets | Shallow depth for cost efficiency |
| 7 x 5 x 3 inches | Books, light apparel, delicate item kits | Versatile, easy to pack |
| 8 x 6 x 3 inches | Standard e-commerce kits, average apparel | Highly standardized dimensions |
| 9 x 7 x 2.25 inches | Apparel, documents, and smaller board games | Excellent protection for flat items |
| 9 x 6 x 4 inches | Bulkier gifts, customized tall products | Higher capacity for retail kits |
Beyond these standard sizes, we die-cut boxes to your exact dimensions for a snug fit, so you need less void fill.
Stock Thickness and Durability
When it comes to buying mailer boxes, the material or paperstock that you select is vital, as it shapes both the product it protects and the overall personality of your brand. So, we offer corrugated board that is valued for its strength, as well as premium card stock that is chosen for a more refined and extravagant finish, so you can pick the best custom box to ship your products
- 18pt card stock: This is a smooth paperboard that is well-suited for smaller, lighter goods, and it comes in sizes such as 5x3x1.5 in and 6x5x2.25 in. Moreover, it stays rigid for its weight while giving your boxes a clean, refined feel that buyers tend to appreciate.
- 24pt card stock: This is a thicker, sturdier board that is recommended for larger mailers such as 9x6x4 in, along with products that require extra rigidity. Hence, its heavier feel reads as premium, which is one of the reasons luxury retailers so often lean toward it without hesitation.
For heavier or bulkier items above 5 lbs, we suggest you choose from our e-flute or b-flute corrugated board options, as these are designed to keep your products secure and protected while they are in transit.
Custom Printing and Finishing
Custom printing and finishing turn a shipping box into a branding opportunity. Choose from our versatile state-of-the-art printing options.
- Print coverage: Choose how much of the box carries your branding:
- Outside only: All branding prints on the exterior for maximum recognition on delivery.
- Inside and out: Printing the interior walls adds thank-you notes, patterns, or brand stories, building a richer unboxing experience for the customer.
- Plain (unprinted): A low-cost, minimalist option. Eco-conscious brands favor the natural kraft look, often paired with a branded sticker or label.
- Color systems: We print in CMYK for full-color artwork and match exact brand colors with the Pantone Matching System (PMS).
- Lamination finishes: Laminate coatings protect the printed ink and add durability and a distinct feel.
- Matte lamination: A non-reflective, soft-touch surface that cuts glare for a modern, high-end look.

Aqueous Coating
A clear, water-based coating that dries quickly and protects printed surfaces to improve surface appearance.
UV Coating
A liquid coating that is cured instantly with ultraviolet light to create scuff-resistant matte surface.
Spot UV Coating
A UV coating applied only to selected areas (like logos or text). Used for contrast and visual impact.
Soft Touch Coating
A coating that creates a smooth, velvet like feel to add a premium tactile experience. Can slightly reduce scratch resistance if not laminated.
Varnish
A thin, clear liquid coating applied during printing using the printing press (CMYK process).
Lamination
A plastic film bonded to the printed surface for strong protection against moisture, tearing, and wear.
Anti-Scratch Lamination
A special BOPP film lamination designed to resist scratches and scuffs to prevent fingerprints and surface marks.
Soft Touch / Silk Lamination
A laminated film with a silky, peach-skin texture that feels soft and luxurious in hand.
Offset Printing
It utilizes metal plates and a rubber blanket to transfer ink to paper. It’s ideal for large runs to get sharp detail and color consistency.
Digital Printing
Prints directly from digital files without plates. Ideal for short runs, fast turnaround, and cost-effective small quantities.
UV Printing
Ink is cured instantly using UV light, creating durable prints with gloss or raised effects on coated and specialty surfaces.
Water-based Ink
Made with water and pigments instead of solvents. More eco-friendly than oil inks, commonly used in paper packaging.
Soy / Vegetable Ink
Uses soy or vegetable oils with pigments. Offers vibrant color and lower VOCs, but not fully impact-free.
Oil Based Ink
Petroleum-based ink that delivers rich, durable color. Traditional and effective, but less sustainable and harder to recycle.
Pantone (PMS Colors)
Standardized color system using exact ink formulas to ensure consistent and accurate brand colors across print jobs.
Pantone Metallic
Pantone inks with metallic particles for shiny finishes. Used for premium looks but can reduce recyclability.
SBS C1S
Premium bleached white board, coated on one side for sharp prints. Recyclable; biodegradable if coating is eco-friendly.
SBS C2S
Premium bleached white board, coated on both sides for quality prints inside and out. Coating affects its biodegradability.
CCNB
Duplex board with white front and gray back, mostly recycled. Clay coating may limit biodegradability.
Fully Recycled CCNB
Board from 100% recycled fiber, coated on one side. Recyclable; coating may affect biodegradability.
Natural Brown Kraft
Brown kraft board from virgin and recycled pulp. Strong, eco-friendly, mostly uncoated. Recyclable & biodegradable.
White Kraft
Bleached kraft board from virgin and recycled pulp. Coated or uncoated; recyclable, biodegradable if coating is eco-safe.
Black Kraft
Black-dyed kraft from virgin and recycled pulp. Recyclability depends on dye/coating; less biodegradable than natural kraft.
Uncoated Unbleached Kraft
Natural kraft board, no bleaching or coating. Fully recyclable, fully biodegradable, very sustainable.
Hot Foil Stamping
A printing process where metallic or pigmented foil is transferred onto a surface using heat and pressure to create a shiny, decorative effect.
Cold Foil Printing
Foil is transferred onto a surface without heat using UV-curable adhesives and a printing press. Suitable for high-speed commercial printing and flexible materials.
Blind Embossing
A design is raised on a surface without any foil or color, using a die pressed from the front side of the material. This creates a subtle, tactile effect.
Blind Debossing
A design is pressed inward into the material from the front side, creating an indented effect without foil or ink.
Registered Embossing
Embossing that aligns precisely with another printed element (like a logo or foil). Ensures the raised design matches the printed artwork.
Combination Embossing
Embossing combined with foil stamping in a single pass. Produces a raised design that also has a metallic or colored foil finish.
Window Patching
A die-cut opening on packaging is covered with a thin plastic film. Give customers a chance to see the inside of packaging for visibility purposes.
