A Secure Closure That Sets Your Brand Apart
Ear lock mailer boxes feature interlocking tabs on each side that click into place, creating a firm seal without tape or adhesive. This design gives your customers a clean unboxing moment while keeping contents secure during transit. The flat panels on all sides provide generous space for full-color printing, turning every shipment into a branded experience that recipients remember.
Built from sturdy corrugated or paperboard stock, these mailers hold their shape through the shipping process and arrive looking sharp on the doorstep. The tuck-and-lock mechanism is intuitive to assemble and satisfying to open, striking the right balance between protection and presentation.
Full Customization From Structure to Finish
Every box is printed using full-color CMYK on all exterior surfaces, so your logo, patterns, and product information come through with vivid accuracy. Choose from a range of finishing options to match your brand's personality. Matte lamination adds a soft, understated feel. Spot UV highlights specific design elements with a glossy contrast. Foil stamping in gold, silver, or custom metallic shades brings a premium touch to logos or text.
You control the dimensions down to the fraction of an inch. Whether you need a slim box for jewelry cards or a deeper structure for candle sets, the ear lock format adapts to virtually any proportion. Interior printing is also available for brands that want to carry their visual identity through the entire unboxing experience.
Sustainable Materials Built for Real-World Shipping
Teal Packaging sources FSC-certified paper options and recyclable corrugated board for these mailers. Standard options include 300gsm, 350gsm, and 400gsm card stock, with E-flute corrugated available for heavier items that need extra cushioning. All materials are available with recyclable options by specification curbside, and soy-based inks keep the printing process aligned with sustainable practices.
The ear lock tabs eliminate the need for packing tape on many shipments, reducing plastic waste per order. For brands that market their environmental commitments, this small detail reinforces your message without requiring extra inserts or callouts.
Where These Mailers Work Best
Subscription box brands rely on the ear lock format for its repeatable assembly and consistent presentation across thousands of units. Cosmetics companies use them for curated gift sets where the box itself needs to feel intentional. Artisan food producers ship chocolate boxes, tea samplers, and spice kits in these mailers because the secure closure prevents shifting during transit.
