Ship the Box Your Customer Actually Opens
Print your artwork full color across the outside of the shipping box, and the parcel on the doorstep carries your brand before anyone opens it. Kraft mailer boxes start at $711.78 for 250, rated 4.6 out of 5 across 11 reviews. Each box reaches you as a flat blank, stays flat on the shelf, and folds into a mailer whose tuck-in flaps lock without tape. For a direct-to-consumer shop, a subscription service, or a team packing a launch, a printed kraft mailer puts your name on the first thing a customer sees.
The fold-flat build keeps storage cheap, and the brown kraft shows around your print wherever you leave it bare. To compare kraft mailers with the rest of the packaging lineup, browse every option on custom box printing, or build yours from the choices below.
The smallest run is 250 boxes for $711.78. A test run for one launch and a full shipping season sit on the same ladder up to 25,000 boxes, and the season costs far less per box. Each tier below shows the live total and what the step up saves.
What Are Kraft Mailer Boxes
Kraft mailer boxes are custom-printed shipping boxes made from kraft cover stock, folded from a flat blank into a self-contained mailer with tuck-in flaps. At 4OVER4.COM they print full color on the outside in 2 sizes, on your choice of a natural 14pt Uncoated Cover or a gloss-coated 18pt Cover, with the inside left blank. For a mailer to compare against the kraft build, see our custom printed mailer boxes. Brands reach for them when a plain carton would waste the moment: e-commerce shipments, subscription sends, gift orders, and product-launch kits. If you package small round items instead, the Golf Ball Boxes cover that shape, and the kraft mailer sits beside it as the branded box for everyday parcels.
What Size Should Your Kraft Mailer Box Be
The right size comes down to what ships inside. The 5" x 7" x 1.7" is the flatter mailer, right for apparel, prints, books, or anything that lies flat. The 5.5" x 5.5" x 2.625" is the deeper near-square, better for a candle, a mug, a small kit, or a bundled set. If neither fits the product exactly, a custom size up to 6" x 7" is made to order, since a box sized to its contents ships cleaner and protects better than one packed with filler. The specs panel below lists both sizes with their stocks and print options. For a slim wrap-style box, the Pillow Boxes are another small-parcel pick.
Which Kraft Stock Should You Pick
The stock sets the whole feel of the box. The 14pt Uncoated Cover is the classic kraft choice, a natural, slightly textured brown surface that reads eco-minded and handmade, with ink that sits into the paper rather than on top of it. Step up to the 18pt Cover with gloss on one side when you want more weight in the hand and a sharper, glossier print on the outer face, closer to a retail-grade box. Both run a standard finish and print full color on the outside. Pick the 14pt for the natural look, and the 18pt when photos on the lid need to print sharp. For a regulated-goods box on the same starting price, the Cannabis Packaging is a related option in the same range.
How Much Do Kraft Mailer Boxes Cost
Going from 250 boxes to 1,000 adds $85.24: 250 cost $711.78, about $2.85 each, and 1,000 cost $797.02. At 5,000 the run comes to $2,231.42, and 25,000 land at $9,146.26, roughly $0.37 a box, about an eighth of the starting rate.

Wally makes the box do the marketing
Why a printed kraft mailer beats a plain brown carton.
A run of 250 kraft mailer boxes starts at $711.78, and the printed kraft exterior turns every delivery into an unboxing moment. Pick a size, choose 14pt or 18pt kraft, and Wally prints your artwork full color on the outside so your box is the first thing a customer remembers.
How Is Your Artwork Printed and Proofed
Printing is 4/0: full CMYK color across the outside of the box, with the inside left blank. That covers logos, patterns, photos, and full-bleed color on every panel a customer sees. Upload artwork as a print-ready PDF, JPG, or PNG. From there you have two paths: send the file straight to production to save time, or request a free online proof and check the layout on screen before anything prints, which is the safer route on a first order. Once the proof is approved, standard production runs 7 business days, so you plan the ship date around a clear window.
How Do Kraft Mailer Boxes Compare to Other Boxes
If you are weighing the kraft mailer against a round-item box, a wrap-style box or a regulated-goods box, the chart below lines up its closest siblings with the starting price of each.
What Do Brands Use Kraft Mailer Boxes For
A kraft mailer box does its best work the moment a customer opens a delivery. Direct-to-consumer brands use it as the branded shipping box that replaces a plain carton. Subscription services print a run for the monthly send. Online shops turn it into a gift box for orders meant to feel special, and product teams pack launch kits and press boxes in it. Because the boxes ship and store flat, a full run tucks away until you need it, and the 250-box minimum keeps it within reach for a small brand or a single launch.
How Fast Can You Get Kraft Mailer Boxes
Kraft mailer boxes print on a 7 business day standard turnaround, counted from the moment your proof is approved. Choose a free online proof to review the layout first, or send the file straight to production when you already trust the artwork. Either way, the clock starts at approval, so approving quickly is the surest way to hit your ship date.

Kraft Mailer Boxes: Frequently Asked Questions
Do the boxes arrive flat or assembled?
They ship and store flat, then fold into a sturdy mailer with tuck-in flaps. That keeps storage cheap when you are holding stock for a subscription run or a launch. Assembly is by hand at pack time.
Do I need tape to close a kraft mailer?
The tuck-in flaps hold the shape without tape, which is what makes this style quick to pack. Many shops still run a strip of tape over the closure for transit security, but the box itself is built to close on its own. That also means the printed exterior stays visible instead of being covered by a taped seam.
What does a run of kraft mailers cost?
250 boxes start at $711.78, about $2.85 each. The per-box price slides down toward roughly $0.37 as the run climbs to 25,000. Ordering in one larger batch is what moves the unit price.
What are the 2 kraft stocks?
There is a natural 14pt Uncoated Cover and a heavier 18pt Cover with a gloss coat on the printed side. The uncoated keeps the warm, natural kraft look all the way across the box. The 18pt gives you the same board weight advantage plus a coated print face if the artwork is photo led.
How much of the box can carry my artwork?
Printing is 4/0, full color on the outside with a blank inside, from a print-ready PDF, JPG or PNG. That gives you the whole exterior for branding, which is what turns the delivery itself into part of the brand for a direct-to-consumer shop. Nothing prints on the interior panels.
What sizes are available?
Two sizes are stocked: a 5" x 7" x 1.7" mailer and a squarer 5.5" x 5.5" x 2.625". A custom size is made to order up to 6" x 7". Standard production is 7 business days with a free online proof, and the product is rated 4.6 out of 5 across 11 reviews.
