Product Overview
This corrugated mailer box uses a tab lock roll end structure — a widely adopted format for e-commerce shipping, subscription boxes, and industrial product packaging. The sample shown features a kraft paper exterior with a self-seal adhesive strip for secure closure and a red tear strip for clean, tool-free opening.
The box is built on E-flute corrugated board in this sample, though flute type can be selected based on your product weight, structural needs, printing requirements, and cost target. Common options include B-flute, E-flute, and F-flute.
Key Features
Self-seal adhesive closure: A peel-and-seal adhesive strip on the lid flap allows fast, tape-free packing. This can reduce packing time and simplify fulfillment operations.
Tear strip opening: A red tear strip provides clean, easy opening without tools — improving the unboxing experience for end users.
Tab lock roll end structure: Interlocking side tabs create a rigid box shape. The roll-end lid flap folds down and tucks securely into the front panel.
Kraft paper exterior: The sample uses a natural kraft finish. Outer paper can also be customized with art board or duplex board with grey back (CCNB), depending on printing and brand presentation needs.
Optional inner printing: Interior surfaces can be printed with product information, branding, or user instructions. Printing options depend on the inner layer material selected.
Structure and Material Options
The corrugated board can be configured with different flute types — typically B, E, or F flute — based on product weight, crush resistance requirements, print quality expectations, and shipping conditions. Outer paper options include kraft paper, art board, or duplex board with grey back (CCNB).
Surface finishing options include CMYK printing, spot color printing, lamination, foil stamping, UV coating, embossing, and reverse UV coating. If your design uses large areas of dark color with a matte lamination finish, scratch-resistant matte laminate is recommended.
Inserts can be added based on product requirements. Options include paper-based structural inserts, blister trays, and EPE foam inserts. Insert type should be selected based on product shape, protection level, and presentation goals.
Suitable Applications
This mailer box format is suitable for a wide range of product categories, including gifts, food products, daily consumer goods, electronics accessories, subscription kits, and industrial components. The self-seal and tear strip features make it particularly practical for e-commerce and direct-to-consumer shipments where packing speed and opening experience both matter.

FAQ
What is the minimum order quantity (MOQ) for this mailer box?
There is no strict MOQ requirement. However, printing plate making, setup, and other basic production costs will make small batches more expensive per unit. Small orders also still need to carry international shipping costs. Buyers should evaluate quantity based on unit cost, packaging budget, and logistics cost.
Can I get a sample before placing a bulk order?
Yes. We provide free structural samples and digital proofing samples. Digital proofing samples include printing and lamination only — they do not include complex surface finishing such as hot stamping, UV coating, embossing, or debossing. The buyer only needs to pay the courier cost to receive the free sample.
Can the interior of the box be printed with custom graphics or instructions?
Yes. Inner printing is optional and depends on the material selected for the inner layer. If you need interior printing for branding, product instructions, or user guidance, please share your requirements during the quotation stage so the appropriate material and printing method can be confirmed.
What flute type should I choose for my product?
The flute type should be selected based on your product weight, required box strength, printing quality expectations, shipping conditions, and cost target. Common options are B-flute, E-flute, and F-flute. Our team can recommend a suitable option after reviewing your product details during sampling.
Can inserts be included inside the mailer box?
Yes. Insert options include paper-based structural inserts, blister trays, and EPE foam inserts. The choice depends on your product shape, protection needs, and presentation goals. Developing the box and insert together can help reduce design alignment issues and simplify supplier communication.
What information do I need to provide for a quotation?
To receive an accurate quotation, please provide: product dimensions and weight, target order quantity, design files or brand guidelines (if available), required insert type, and any specific material or surface finishing preferences. If you are unsure about material or structure details, our team can advise during the sampling process.
