What it is and who it is for
A shipping box is the familiar flap-top carton (also called a regular slotted carton) that you seal with tape. It uses less board than a mailer box, so it is the cheapest way to put your logo on heavier or bigger orders. Brands use them for wholesale orders, multi-item orders and anything that needs extra protection.
- Heavier products: drinks, ceramics, home goods
- Wholesale and multi-item orders
- Brands moving from plain brown boxes
- Warehouse and 3PL shipping

Custom shipping boxes FAQ
What is the difference between a shipping box and a mailer box?
A shipping box is a flap-top carton sealed with tape. A mailer box has a locking lid and opens like a gift. Shipping boxes cost less; mailer boxes look better on opening.
Which board should I choose?
B-flute (3 mm) suits most shipping. For very heavy items, ask us about double-wall board.
Can you print just a one-colour logo?
Yes. One-colour print is the most affordable option and looks great on kraft board.
Do you offer custom sizes?
Yes, custom sizing is free from 500 units.
Can you ship to my warehouse or 3PL?
Yes. We deliver to any business address and can split a run across two addresses.
