custom mailer box printing

custom mailer box printing puts your logo, colours and message directly onto a corrugated mailer box so every order arrives as a branded parcel. Custom Postal Boxes prints mailer boxes in house in Wolverhampton for UK online sellers, with free design support and free UK delivery.

What custom mailer box printing covers

Printing can cover the outside of the box in full, selected panels only, or the outside and inside together. Outside print does the work while the parcel travels and sits on a doorstep. Inside print is seen at the moment of opening, so it suits a thank you message, care guidance, a discount prompt for a future order or simple pattern work that frames the product.

Print methods and colour choices

Full colour print suits photography, gradients and detailed artwork. A limited colour design on kraft board suits brands that want a natural look with a bold logo. Colour consistency matters across repeat orders, so keep your brand colour references with your artwork and ask for a proof before a full run. Our team checks artwork placement so logos are not lost on folds, edges or the closing flap.

Preparing artwork for a mailer box

Supply your logo and artwork in the best quality files you have and tell us which panels matter most. Keep small text away from creases, leave room around the lid edges and check that any message on the inside reads the right way up when the box opens. Free design support means you can start from a rough layout and have it set up correctly for print.

Choosing the box behind the print

Good print needs the right box. Mailer boxes are usually made from corrugated cardboard with a fluted inner layer that absorbs knocks in transit while staying light. A snug size protects the product and keeps postage predictable. Compare styles in our custom mailer boxes UK range and the wider custom mailer boxes category before you settle artwork, because panel sizes change with box dimensions.

For flat items that travel as large letters, look at printed postal boxes as an alternative format. For everyday shipping lines, cardboard mailer boxes give a practical base for print. Whatever the format, weigh a packed sample and check it against the Royal Mail small parcel guidance, where the maximum size is 45cm by 35cm by 16cm and the maximum weight is 2kg.

Where printed mailers earn their keep

Subscription brands print the inside lid because the customer opens a box every month and the message can change by season. Clothing brands print care and returns guidance inside so the information travels with the garment. Food and candle brands print handling notes and ingredients information where it will be read. In each case the box is doing information work as well as brand work, which plain packaging cannot do.

Pricing depends on size, material and quantity, and every order is quoted individually rather than priced from a list. Low minimum order quantities make a first printed run realistic for a small shop testing a new design.

FAQs about custom mailer box printing

Can I print inside and outside the mailer box?

Yes. Outside print carries your branding while the parcel travels, and inside print is revealed on opening. Many sellers print a message, care guidance or a repeat order prompt inside the lid.

What artwork do I need to supply?

Supply your logo and artwork in the best quality files you have. If you only have a rough layout, free design support is included and our team will set the artwork up for print and check its position on each panel.

Will my colours stay consistent on repeat orders?

Keeping the same artwork files and colour references with each order helps colour stay consistent across runs. Ask for a proof before a full run if you change artwork, board colour or finish.

Does print change how strong the box is?

Print sits on the surface of the board and does not reduce the strength of the corrugated structure. Strength comes from the board grade and a snug fit, so choose the box size around your product first and then plan the print.

How do I get a price for printed mailer boxes?

Send your box dimensions, quantity and print requirements through the contact page. Pricing depends on size, material and quantity, and design support and UK delivery are free.
