Mailer box
Apparel boxes
Shallow mailers sized for folded garments. Tissue and a sticker finish the job.
Corrugated
Apparel packaging that survives the post.
Apparel packaging is usually a printed mailer box that holds folded clothes flat and ships without an outer carton. Shoes go in a corrugated shoe box, and small accessories fit a pillow box or a sleeve.
The catch is weight and rubbing. Clothes are light, so a heavy rigid box adds shipping cost for nothing. And a dark print that scuffs in transit looks worse than plain kraft. Keep the print simple on the outside and spend the effort on the inside of the lid.

Guide 1
Which box for which garment
T-shirts, knitwear and hoodies fold into a flat mailer. Size the box to the folded stack, not the loose garment.
Shoes need a stiffer corrugated box with a lid that stays put through shipping.
Socks, ties and belts suit a small pillow box or a printed sleeve.
Drop launches are where a printed tissue wrap and a lid message pay off, since that moment is what gets filmed.
Guide 2
Size the box to the folded stack
Measure the garment folded the way you will pack it. Empty space costs you money in dimensional weight, so a snug box is cheaper to ship.
Send the three numbers and a photo on a ruler. We add clearance when we draw the dieline.
Honest fit
When not to hire us.
When this is the wrong page
If you ship only a few orders at a time, a plain poly mailer or stock box may cost less and go out faster. We can consider small runs, but best value starts at 50. If your product is a single garment and a hang tag, you may not need a box at all.
FAQ
Apparel packaging questions.
What is the best box for shipping clothes?
A corrugated mailer sized to the folded stack. It ships on its own without an outer carton and can be printed inside and out.
Can I print on both sides of the box?
Yes. Mailer boxes can print on the outside and on the inside of the lid, which is where most unboxing photos are taken.
Do you make shoe boxes?
Yes, see our custom shoe boxes. They are corrugated with a lid, sized to the shoe and printed to your artwork.
How do I size a clothing box?
Fold the garment the way you will pack it and measure the stack. See how to measure a box for the order of length, width and height.
