The Complete Breakdown on Mailing Boxes

Want to learn more about Mailing Boxes? We have you sorted with this comprehensive guide covering everything there is to know! From how it differs to a Shipping Carton, what they are used for, how many sizes are available to any additional packaging you may need.  

What is a Mailing Box? 

If you've ever received a package in the mail, chances are you've come across a Mailing Box. But what is it exactly? Well, put simply, a Mailing Box is a type of carton specifically designed for shipping items. Don't be fooled however, it's not to be confused with a Shipping Carton. The two may look similar, but the differences are significant. Mailing Boxes are often made with a thicker cardboard stock and more secure design. They also do not require any staples or tape — however we always recommend to ensure security!  They're available in both kraft and white stock, giving you plenty of options to align with your brand style or sustainability ethos. Whether you're sending a gift, an eCommerce order or anything in between, a Mailing Box is a reliable choice to ensure your order arrives to your customer in perfect condition.

Do I need any additional Packaging? 

When it comes to shipping your eCommerce orders, it's important to ensure that your items arrive in perfect condition, so your customers have the ultimate unboxing experience. Mailing Boxes are ideal for lighter items that need to be sent through the post, however, they are still suitable for sturdy or fragile items too! If your item is fragile, our range of sustainable Protective Packaging materials like Geami Honeycomb Wrap and FillPak TT are a perfect addition. These materials help cushion and secure your products during transit, ensuring they arrive safely in the hands of your customers.  

Geami Honeycomb Wrap 

Geami Honeycomb Wrap is an eco-friendly alternative to bubble wrap, made from recyclable and renewable FSC paper that can easily be reused or recycled after use! The unique die-cut paper expands into a 3D honeycomb structure that provides the same protection as bubble wrap —without the plastic.
