FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Clarify the project before production
Practical answers for buyers comparing custom print manufacturers.
Ask another question →Is a mailer box the same as a folding carton?+
No. These mailer boxes use corrugated board with a fluted layer between liners. Folding cartons typically use solid paperboard. The correct construction depends on the product and distribution requirements.
How should I measure a custom mailer box?+
Provide the required internal length, width and depth, with units. Include the product and insert dimensions so the finished fit can be confirmed with a sample.
Do self-locking boxes need tape for shipping?+
Self-locking describes the box assembly and closure. Carrier requirements, contents and tamper-evidence needs may still call for tape or a sealing label. Confirm this for the packed shipment.
Can you print the inside of the box?+
Interior printing can be reviewed alongside exterior artwork. Print coverage, board choice and production method affect the specification and price.
Which flute or board strength should I choose?+
There is no single grade for every shipment. Product weight, box size, stacking and shipping conditions help determine the required construction. Agree any strength or shipping tests before production.
Are all corrugated mailer boxes recyclable?+
Recyclability depends on the complete construction and the collection facilities available to the recipient. Coatings, film lamination, adhesives and non-paper inserts can change the appropriate disposal route.
What are the minimum quantity and turnaround time?+
Both depend on dimensions, board, print method, inserts and finishing. Request a quotation for the exact project; sample preparation, manufacturing and shipping are scheduled separately.
