Custom Mailing Boxes

Ship your products in branded packaging that turns every delivery into a marketing moment. Custom mailing boxes from Teal Packaging are built for protection, designed for impressions, and ordered without minimums.

What Are Custom Mailing Boxes?

Custom mailing boxes are corrugated or rigid shipping containers printed with your brand's colors, logo. And messaging. Unlike plain brown boxes, they transform the unboxing experience into something customers remember and share. Whether you ship apparel, cosmetics, electronics. Or subscription boxes, a custom mailer tells your story before the customer even opens it.

At Teal Packaging, we produce custom mailing boxes for businesses of every size. From independent Etsy sellers shipping their first orders to established e-commerce brands fulfilling thousands of shipments per week, our boxes are built to perform at every scale.

Materials and Construction

Choosing the right material ensures your product arrives intact and your brand looks sharp. We offer several construction options:

Corrugated Cardboard

  • Single-wall corrugated (3-ply): ideal for lightweight items under 20 lbs
  • Double-wall corrugated (5-ply): heavy-duty protection for fragile or heavier products
  • ECT-32 and ECT-44 grades available for standard and heavy-duty shipping requirements
  • Recyclable and widely accepted by curbside recycling programs

Rigid Setup Boxes

  • Chipboard construction with wrapped exterior paper
  • Premium feel suited for luxury goods, gifts, and high-end retail
  • Available in telescoping lid, magnetic closure, and shoulder styles

Kraft and White Clay-Coated Liners

  • Kraft interior for a natural, earthy aesthetic
  • White clay-coated liner for vivid, full-color interior printing
  • Matte and gloss laminate finishing options available

Printing Options

Your brand deserves more than a stamped logo. Our printing capabilities include:

  • Full-color CMYK digital printing for short and medium runs
  • Flexographic printing for large-volume orders requiring consistent color
  • Spot UV coating for selective gloss highlights on matte surfaces
  • Foil stamping in gold, silver, rose gold, and custom colors
  • Inside printing to create a full-surround branded experience
  • Pantone color matching available on request

Available Sizes

We stock and custom-produce mailing boxes across a wide range of dimensions to suit any product category:

  • Small: 6" x 4" x 2" to 8" x 6" x 4" for jewelry, accessories, and small cosmetics
  • Medium: 10" x 8" x 4" to 12" x 10" x 6" for apparel, books, and candles
  • Large: 14" x 12" x 6" to 18" x 14" x 8" for footwear, home goods, and subscription kits
  • Extra Large: 20" x 16" x 8" and up for bulk shipments or oversized products
  • Custom die-cut dimensions available for any product that falls outside standard sizing

Production Checklist

How to Plan Custom Mailing Boxes

Use this page to brief Teal before quoting. The strongest custom mailing boxes requests include structure, size, artwork stage, material target, quantity, ship-to country, and any compliance or retail display needs.

1. Confirm structure and fit

Share the packed product size, preferred box style, insert needs, and whether the package ships directly or sits on a retail shelf. If you are unsure, Teal can suggest a mailer, folding carton, sleeve, rigid setup box, tray, or insert direction.

2. Choose board and finish

Match the material to weight, shipping risk, shelf life, and brand feel. Common choices include kraft, SBS, corrugated, rigid board, recycled paperboard, matte lamination, gloss lamination, foil, embossing, debossing, and spot UV.

3. Prepare artwork and proofing

Upload logos, dielines, color references, barcodes, warnings, ingredient panels, or compliance copy before proofing. Teal checks print placement, bleed, safe zones, panel orientation, and finishing details before production starts.

4. Lock quantity and timeline

Quote accuracy improves when you include target quantity, launch date, shipping destination, and rush requirements. Standard production can begin after proof approval, and sample kits help compare materials before a larger custom order.

For faster pricing, include photos of your current packaging, competitor references, retail display rules, shipping carton requirements, and any sustainability goals. Teal can quote the closest production-ready option first, then refine dielines, inserts, coatings, print coverage, and carton strength after your team reviews the proof.
