video mailer box

A video mailer box is a strong printed mailer sized to protect a video brochure, video book or presentation pack while it travels by post to a named recipient. Custom Postal Boxes makes each video mailer box to order in Wolverhampton, with a snug fit, protective board and full surface print that builds curiosity before the pack is opened.

Why a video mailer box needs specialist protection

A video brochure contains a screen, a battery and electronics inside a printed cover, so it costs far more than a leaflet and fails if it is bent, crushed or pressed on the screen. Ordinary envelopes and thin mailers leave those risks open. A rigid sided mailer box spreads pressure across its walls, keeps the pack flat and stops other parcels in a mail sack from bearing down on the screen.

Fit is the second protection. A box only slightly larger than the video pack, with the pack held by a fitted insert, a foam layer or a card surround, prevents sliding and corner impacts. Nothing should press directly on the screen area, and the charging cable and any documents should sit in their own space so they cannot rub the cover in transit.

Board and insert choices for video packs

Corrugated board gives the best crush resistance for posted campaigns, while thick rigid style board suits hand delivery and smaller courier runs. Compare our cardboard mailer boxes with the main custom mailer boxes for UK campaigns range, and tell us the pack weight so we can recommend a grade.

Protecting the screen area in particular

Keep a clear zone over the screen. An insert frame that touches only the edges of the video pack, or a protective sheet fixed inside the lid, stops pressure reaching the display. Test by pressing gently on the closed box. If you can feel the screen flex, add protection.

Designing the outside of the mailer

The outer box is the first thing the recipient sees, and for a campaign pack it must earn its opening. Full colour print, a confident logo and a short line of copy can signal that something unusual is inside without giving the surprise away. Address and label areas should stay plain and flat so postage labels sit cleanly and barcodes scan, and the finished parcel should be checked against the Royal Mail size and weight guide for the service you plan to use.

Inside the lid is a natural place for a brief instruction, such as a prompt to open the pack and press play, plus your contact details if the recipient wants to respond. Related campaign formats in our range include custom influencer boxes and custom PR boxes, which share the same focus on a memorable first opening.

Planning a targeted mailing

Video packs are usually sent to a short and valuable list, such as key accounts, event invitees, launch partners or high value prospects. That makes a test mailing worthwhile. Send a packed sample to your own office through the real postal route, inspect the screen and corners on arrival, and only then release the full campaign.

Sizes, quantities and ordering

Video brochures come in common cover sizes based around A5 and A4, with several screen sizes, so the box should be made around your exact pack rather than a generic size. Measure the closed pack including its cover thickness, weigh it with cable and documents, and share those figures with your quote request. Pricing depends on size, material and quantity, and minimum order quantities are kept low for campaign work.

Boxes are manufactured in house, design support is free and UK delivery is free, which helps when a campaign date is fixed. Store the flat or assembled boxes dry, and charge and check each video pack before packing so no recipient receives a silent screen. To plan your mailing, contact us for a quote with your pack dimensions and target date.

What to include inside the box

Alongside the video pack, a short printed card explaining why the recipient was chosen and what to do next improves response. Keep contents light and flat, secure any cable in a small compartment, and avoid loose items that could shift onto the screen during sorting and delivery.

FAQs about video mailer box

What is a video mailer box used for?

It is used to post a video brochure, video book or presentation pack safely to a named recipient. The box protects the screen and electronics inside the pack, while its printed outside builds interest before opening.

How does a video mailer box protect the screen?

Strong board spreads pressure across the walls of the box, and a snug insert holds the pack by its edges so nothing presses on the screen. A close fit also stops the pack sliding and striking the corners in transit.

What size video mailer box do I need?

Measure your closed video pack, including cover thickness, and weigh it with its cable and any documents. The box is then made around those figures with a small clearance for the insert and protective layers.

Yes. The outside and inside can carry full colour artwork, your logo and a short prompt to open the pack. Keep the label area plain and flat so postage labels and barcodes stay clear and scannable.
