Protect What You Ship with Custom Rigid Mailers

When your products need to arrive flat, unbent, and looking professional, rigid mailers are the solution. These sturdy, non-bendable envelopes protect documents, photos, prints, and flat merchandise during transit. Teal Packaging builds each mailer to your exact specifications with full-color printing on the exterior, so your brand makes an impression the moment it lands in your customer's hands.

Unlike standard padded envelopes or poly mailers, rigid mailers use a dense chipboard core that resists bending and crushing. That structural integrity makes them ideal for anything that cannot fold, crease, or warp during shipping.

Full Customization From Size to Finish

Every order starts with your dimensions. Whether you need compact mailers for greeting cards or oversized formats for art prints, Teal Packaging produces them in the exact size your product requires. No wasted space, no oversized packaging driving up shipping costs.

Printing options include full-color CMYK across the entire exterior surface. Add your logo, brand colors, product photography, or promotional messaging directly to the mailer itself. Finishing touches elevate the presentation further:

  • Matte or gloss lamination for a smooth, durable surface
  • Spot UV coating to highlight specific design elements
  • Foil stamping in gold, silver, or custom metallic tones
  • Peel-and-seal adhesive strips for secure, tamper-evident closure

Need help with the design? Teal Packaging offers free design support, so you can contact our team and work with a designer at no extra cost.

Sustainable Materials Built to Last

The core structure uses heavy-duty chipboard, typically 18pt to 28pt depending on the level of rigidity you need. Outer surfaces are printed on coated kraft or SBS paperboard, giving you a clean canvas for vibrant graphics while maintaining structural strength.

Recyclable material options are available by specification and sourced from responsible suppliers. The chipboard itself is made from recycled fiber content, which means your packaging performs well and aligns with sustainable business practices. Customers can flatten and recycle these mailers curbside in most municipalities.

Who Uses Rigid Mailers

Photographers and print shops rely on them daily to ship prints, proofs, and framed certificates without damage. Ecommerce brands selling stationery, vinyl records, booklets, or flat accessories use them as a branded shipping solution that doubles as a presentation piece.

They are also popular with:

  • Real estate agencies sending branded property brochures
  • Universities and diploma services mailing certificates
  • Subscription box companies shipping flat collectibles or art prints
  • Marketing teams distributing catalogs, lookbooks, or event invitations
  • Independent artists selling signed prints and limited edition posters

Because there are low minimum order quantities, you can order exactly what you need. A small Etsy shop ordering 50 mailers gets the same print quality and material options as a brand ordering thousands.

Why Order From Teal Packaging

Free shipping is included on every Teal order, with delivery details confirmed during quoting. Turnaround is 14 days from artwork approval, which means you are not waiting weeks to restock. The free design support removes the guesswork from setting up print files, dielines, and bleed areas.

Teal Packaging specializes in making custom packaging accessible to smaller businesses that often get priced out by large manufacturers with high minimums. You get offset-quality printing, premium finishing, and reliable materials without committing to bulk quantities you do not need yet.
