Why Champaign Businesses Choose Us
Why Choose Our Mailer Boxes
Custom Mailer Boxes That Make Every Delivery a Brand Moment
The mailer box has become the signature packaging format of the direct-to-consumer era — and every brand in the space is competing on unboxing experience. Branded Boxes produces custom mailer boxes on B-flute and E-flute corrugated board with inside and outside printing, self-locking closures, and optional tear strips for easy opening. From 50 units to 500,000, we scale to your brand's growth.
Inside-Outside Printing: Maximum Brand Impressions
The outside of your mailer box is seen by carriers, neighbors, and social media followers. The inside is the private reveal moment — the brand experience that generates shares, reviews, and repeat purchases. Our mailer boxes are printed on both surfaces so your brand story continues from the first glance to the final reveal.
Construction Options
- B-flute (3mm): Standard protection for most e-commerce products
- E-flute (1.5mm): Thinner profile for lightweight products, superior print surface
- Single-wall for standard applications
- Double-wall for fragile or heavy products
The Unboxing Experience as Brand Strategy
The unboxing moment is documented, shared, and remembered. When a customer receives your mailer box, their first impression — before they see your product — is your packaging. Our mailer boxes are designed to make that impression count: a crisp, clean exterior that signals quality, a satisfying self-locking closure that requires no tape, and an interior that continues your brand narrative with inside printing, custom inserts, or branded tissue paper.
Self-Locking Design for Fulfillment Efficiency
Our mailer box designs use interlocking dust flaps and a secure tuck closure that holds firmly without tape. This means faster packing, lower material costs, and a cleaner presentation for customers. The same design prevents accidental opening during transit — no more products shifting or spilling because a tape seam failed.

Mailer Boxes in Champaign — FAQs
Should I choose B-flute or E-flute for my mailer boxes?
B-flute (3mm) provides more cushioning for heavier or fragile products and is the standard for most e-commerce applications. E-flute (1.5mm) is thinner and lighter — great for lightweight products where a slim profile reduces shipping costs, and it provides a superior print surface for photographic-quality graphics.
Can mailer boxes be printed on the inside?
Yes, and we strongly recommend it. Inside printing is one of the most cost-effective ways to extend your brand experience. The inside of a mailer box is seen by your customer at the peak moment of excitement — don't leave it blank.
Do mailer boxes need tape to close?
Our standard mailer box design is self-locking — no tape required. The interlocking dust flap design keeps the box securely closed during transit. Tape-seal designs are also available for applications requiring additional tamper evidence.
What is the minimum order for custom mailer boxes?
We produce custom mailer boxes from 50 units with digital printing. Flexographic printing for large runs is available from 500 units. Contact us for volume pricing.
Can I include a tear strip on my mailer box?
Yes. A perforated tear strip is a popular add-on that makes opening the box clean and satisfying — no scissors required. It's especially popular for subscription boxes where customers open a new box every month.
