Mailing Boxes for Industrial Packaging & E-Commerce Fulfillment
Fastpak Systems supplies mailing boxes engineered for throughput, product protection, and freight efficiency. Unlike our regular
corrugated shipping boxes, our mailing boxes have a five-fold panel. From economical stock mailers to custom-printed kits, our program integrates with your tape sealing, strapping, stretch, and shrink wrapping operations-cutting labor, damage, and total applied cost.=====
What Mailing Boxes We Stock (and Why It Matters)
Core families
- Corrugated Mailers (Kraft & White): One-piece die-cuts with built-in tabs allow for fast assembly and strong edge protection- ideal for D2C, samples, and kitted shipments
Quick specs: Kraft or White; popular inside dims from ~10"×10"×2", 12"×9"×2", 12"×6"×4"; ships flat in bundles
- Easy-Fold Mailers (Kraft & White): Fold-over designs that "size-to-fit" shallow SKUs like books, frames, and kits-minimize void and DIM weight
Quick specs: Shallow heights (˜1"-3"); standard panels ~12"×11½"×3" to 20"×16"×2".
- Literature Mailing Boxes (Standard & Deluxe; Kraft & White): Front-loading or clamshell styles that protect corners and keep documents, kits, and components presentation-ready
Quick specs: Inside dims typically in the 11"×8¾"×5" to 12?"×9¼"×6½" range, plus compact sizes for small kits
- Outside-Tuck Mailers (White): Clean exterior for labeling/branding; outside tuck prevents content scuffing and deters tampering
Quick specs: Popular sizes around 9½"-12" long with mid-depth panels
- Side-Loading Locking Mailers (White): Load from the side for books, frames, and flat goods; integral locks speed packing and resist pop-opens in transit
Quick specs: Common sizes ˜11"-12" long; 2½"-3" depths
- Square & Triangle Mailing Tubes: Non-round profiles stack cleanly, resist rolling on conveyors, and fit better on pallets and parcel belts
Quick specs: Square/triangle cross-sections; lengths sized for posters, rods, maps, and long components
- Garment Mailing Boxes: Presentation-forward apparel mailers that reduce returns by protecting fold lines and finishes
Quick specs: Flat, light-weight formats optimized for parcel rates

Selecting the Right Mailing Boxes (Quick Guide)
- Define the product profile: weight, edges, finish sensitivity, and moisture risk.
- Choose the style: easy-fold for shallow kits, literature/OTM for presentation, side-load for framed/flat items, or square/triangle tubes for long goods.
- Pick board & finish: ECT-32 works for many parcels; step up to DW/TW for heavier loads. Choose Kraft for durability and printing economy or White for brand presentation.
- Optimize interior: use targeted pads or foam to pass drop/compression with minimal cube.
- Confirm closure: tape vs. tabs vs. staples/strap based on weight and automation.
- Validate on your line: fit check erectors/sealers, label panels, and pallet patterns.

FAQ About Mailing Boxes for Shipping
Q: What are mailer boxes?
A: Mailer boxes are one-piece or multi-panel corrugated shippers with integrated tabs/tucks designed for fast packing, clean presentation, and parcel durability.
Q: Kraft vs. white mailers-what should I choose?
A: Pick Kraft for rugged handling and printing economy; choose White when unboxing and brand colors matter.
Q: Which style protects books, kits, or framed items best?
A: Use literature mailers or side-loading locking mailers for corner/edge protection and easier, safer loading.
Q: How do easy-fold mailers reduce DIM charges?
A: They wrap tightly to the product, so you ship less air, cutting void fill and dimensional weight fees.
Q: Do you offer custom sizes and printing?
A: Yes. We produce custom die-cuts, sizes, grades, and branded print to your performance and presentation targets.
Q: When should I choose square or triangle mailing tubes?
A: For long, narrow goods. Non-round tubes don’t roll on conveyors and palletize efficiently.
Q: How do I cut shipping damage and labor with mailer boxes?
A: Right-size the mailer, spec the correct ECT/board, add targeted dunnage, and integrate with your case sealer, strapping, and shrink/stretch wrapping equipment.
