OrderingHow to Order Custom Mailer Boxes: A Step-by-Step Checklist
Ordering custom mailer boxes for the first time involves more decisions than reordering plain kraft shippers — but the process is still just a handful of steps from logo file to a truck full of boxes at your door.
The checklist
| Step | What to send us | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|
| 1. Brand assets | Logo file (vector preferred), brand colors, product dimensions | Determines print method and box size |
| 2. Target quantity | Your typical order volume or launch quantity | Sets your price tier and MOQ eligibility |
| 3. Decoration choice | Full-color, kraft stamp, or magnetic/rigid | Affects lead time and per-unit cost |
| 4. Mockup approval | Feedback on the photo-real mockup | Unlimited revisions, no cost until you approve |
| 5. Production & ship date | Your in-hands deadline | Confirms rush eligibility |
Common first-order mistakes
The two most common: ordering below your real steady-state volume just to “try it,” which pushes your per-unit cost well above what you’ll pay on a reorder; and skipping a physical sample or pre-production proof on a large first run, which is cheap insurance against a color or size surprise at full volume.
