Packaging for online orders
The box is the only part of the store the customer touches.
An online brand has one physical moment with its customer: the box on the doorstep. A custom mailer made to the product — printed outside, printed inside, sized so nothing rattles — is the difference between a delivery and an unboxing. It is also the cheapest form of marketing the brand owns, because the customer pays to receive it.
We size e-commerce packaging to the order, not to the largest possible basket: a single-item mailer, a multi-item mailer with a divider, a subscription box with a presentation insert. Smaller, tighter boxes travel better and cost less to send. This is branded product packaging — not commodity shipping supply.

Right-sizing
A smaller box that fits is stronger and cheaper to send.
Sizing the mailer to the product removes void fill, cuts dimensional-weight charges and stops damage. Tell us your top three order configurations and we size to each.
- Mailers sized to each order type

How it works
From product to sector-ready packaging.
You do not need a dieline, a spec sheet or print-ready artwork to start. You need to know roughly what you are packing.
Tell us the product
Dimensions, weight, how it is sold and where it travels. A photo is enough to start.
Structure & dieline
We recommend the construction for the sector and issue a dieline with any insert marked.
Board, print & finish
Stock and finishing chosen for the shelf, the courier or the gift table.
Proof & production
You approve a proof before anything runs. Quantities and lead time are stated in writing.
Delivery
Finished packaging is delivered free to your address in the United States, flat or assembled as the structure requires. Allow 3–5 working days for ground shipping after production.

E-commerce packaging questions
Before you ask.
Anything not covered here, put it in the notes on your quote and we will answer it directly.
Ask on your quoteWhat is custom e-commerce packaging?
Branded packaging made to your product for orders sent to customers: printed mailers, inserts and the extras inside. It is not commodity shipping supply.
How do I choose mailer sizes for different orders?
Send your most common order configurations. We usually size two or three mailers to cover them rather than one large box for everything.
Can you print inside the box?
Yes. Interior print is a second pass on press and is the single most effective unboxing upgrade.
Will a custom mailer survive parcel delivery?
E-flute mailers are built for parcel networks; heavier orders move to B-flute. We specify the flute against your product's weight.
What do you need to quote e-commerce packaging?
Product or order dimensions and weight, quantity per size, print coverage, extras (tissue, stickers, inserts) and your artwork.

Mailer boxes vs folding cartons: shelf packaging and courier packaging are different jobs
