Structure & product fit

Build the packaging around the product

Packaging dimensions should start with the product and how it needs to be packed, protected, displayed, stored or transported. Internal space, board thickness, closures, inserts and assembly method can all affect the finished structural specification.

Measure the maximum product size Record the longest, widest and deepest points, including lids, closures, handles or projecting parts.

Define the required clearance Allow the space needed for packing, movement control, protective material or a fitted insert without unnecessarily increasing the box size.

Match structure to product weight Product weight, fragility and stacking requirements help determine suitable board strength and structural construction.

Consider how the packaging will be used Retail display, gifting, ecommerce, storage, fulfilment and transport can place different demands on the same packaging structure.

MEASUREMENT PRINCIPLE

Unless otherwise agreed, always confirm whether supplied measurements refer to the internal usable space or the external finished dimensions.

Packaging materials

Select material around the packaging requirement

There is no single board that suits every product. Material selection depends on structural strength, product weight, presentation, printing, storage, transport and any application- specific requirements.

Material family Typical role Surface & presentation Structural level

Kraft Paperboard Natural-looking cartons, sleeves, retail packaging and suitable lightweight structures. Brown or natural surface with distinctive print behaviour. Light–medium

Folding Boxboard Retail cartons, cosmetics, food, healthcare, gifting and other presentation-led applications. Smooth printable surface suited to detailed graphics. Light–medium

Corrugated Board Mailers, ecommerce, shipping, larger products and packaging requiring increased structural protection. Kraft or white liners with several printing routes available. Medium–high

Rigid / Greyboard Premium presentation boxes, luxury gifting and applications requiring a substantial non-folding construction. Usually wrapped with printed or decorative paper. High rigidity

Printing & finishing

Develop the print specification around the material

Printing and finishing options should be selected after the material and structure are understood. The suitable production route depends on the substrate, artwork, colour requirements, quantity, surface area and intended appearance.

PRINTING Choose the print process from the job specification

Digital Printing Suitable for compatible substrates and projects where digital production provides the appropriate quality and production route.

Lithographic / Offset Used where detailed graphics, controlled colour and suitable production volumes justify lithographic printing.

Flexographic Printing Commonly considered for suitable corrugated, kraft and transport-packaging applications.

Spot / Brand Colours Specific colours can be considered where brand consistency or restricted-colour artwork requires them.

FINISHING Add surface treatments only where they support the brief

Lamination & Coatings Matte, gloss or other suitable surface treatments can alter appearance, handling and surface protection.

Foil Metallic, coloured or decorative foil can highlight selected branding or graphic elements.

Embossing / Debossing Raised or recessed areas can introduce tactile depth where the board and structure support the process.

Spot UV & Specialist Effects Selective gloss, texture or other specialist treatments can be considered where technically suitable.

Product buying guide

Choosing Custom Drinking Retail Boxes for your product

Use this guide to work through structure, board, fit, printing and practical handling before finalising the box.

How does the mailer structure protect the product?

A mailer box uses folded board panels to create a self-contained structure with an integrated lid. Unlike a simple folding carton, the side walls and roll-end construction can provide additional rigidity around the packed item. The amount of protection, however, depends on the board grade, box dimensions and how closely the product fits inside.

Start by considering how the box will be handled. A lightweight retail item packed directly into a presentation mailer has different requirements from a heavier product moving through an ecommerce delivery network. Where movement inside the box could cause damage, an insert or closer internal fit may be more useful than simply increasing the overall box size.

Which kraft board should you specify?

Custom Drinking Retail Boxes can be produced from different board constructions depending on the product and required appearance. Lighter applications may suit a paperboard construction, while corrugated board is commonly considered where greater rigidity or transport protection is needed. The flute, liner and overall board specification should therefore be selected after the packed weight and dimensions are known.

Surface appearance also matters. Natural kraft has a visible brown tone and characteristic fibre appearance. That can work well where the packaging design is intentionally understated, but it also influences printing. A white or alternative printable liner may be preferable where the artwork depends on a different colour base or a particular print appearance.

How should the internal dimensions be calculated?

Measure the complete product at its widest, longest and deepest points. Do not base the carton only on a nominal product size if closures, accessories or other components extend beyond it. Any insert, protective wrap or internal component must also be included when calculating the usable space.

Excessive clearance can allow the product to move and may unnecessarily increase material use and shipping volume. Too little clearance can make packing difficult or place pressure on the product. The aim is a practical fit that allows efficient packing while providing the space genuinely needed for protection.

What should be considered before printing kraft mailers?

Artwork should be prepared with the board colour in mind. Natural kraft is not a neutral white printing surface, so lighter colours and some brand colours may reproduce differently. The printing method also depends on artwork coverage, colour requirements, board construction and the production specification.

Consider where branding needs to appear before adding print to every panel. A restrained exterior with a printed inside lid, for example, can create a different opening experience from full external coverage. Finishes should be treated in the same way: include them where they contribute to presentation, protection or a defined design objective.

When might another box style be more suitable?

Mailer construction is not automatically the right answer for every product. A folding carton may use less material for a lightweight retail item, while a shipping carton may be more appropriate for heavier goods or demanding distribution conditions. Premium gifting applications may call for a different presentation structure altogether.

Comparing the product, sales environment, packing process and delivery journey before selecting the box style prevents the structure from being chosen only because of appearance. The packaging should ultimately solve the practical requirements of the product first, with print and presentation developed around that structure.

Product questions

Kraft mailer box FAQs

Practical answers to common questions about dimensions, materials, printing and specifying Custom Drinking Retail Boxes.

Ask about your project

01 What are Custom Drinking Retail Boxes used for?

Custom Drinking Retail Boxes can be used for ecommerce, gifting, subscription, retail and other products where an integrated opening structure and useful presentation are required. The final suitability depends on product dimensions, weight, protection needs and the delivery environment.

02 Can mailer boxes be made to custom dimensions?

Yes. The dimensions can be developed around the product and any required insert or clearance. Measuring the complete product helps establish usable internal dimensions before the structural specification is prepared.

03 Which board is suitable for Custom Drinking Retail Boxes?

The appropriate board depends on box dimensions, packed weight, required rigidity, printing and handling conditions. Lightweight applications and ecommerce packaging can require different board constructions, so the product should be assessed before selecting a grade.

04 Can Custom Drinking Retail Boxes be custom printed?

Yes. Printing can be planned around the artwork, board construction and required colour result. Natural kraft is a brown printing surface, so colour appearance should be assessed differently from artwork printed onto white board.

05 Are Custom Drinking Retail Boxes suitable for shipping?

Some mailer specifications are suitable for ecommerce and delivery applications, but this depends on the board, product weight, dimensions and distribution conditions. More demanding shipping applications may require a stronger corrugated specification or another structure.

06 Can inserts be added inside a mailer box?

Inserts can be considered where they control movement, separate components, improve presentation or provide additional protection. Their dimensions must be included when calculating the usable internal space of the outer box.

07 How should I measure my product for a mailer box?

Measure the complete product at its maximum length, width and depth, including closures, accessories and protruding parts. Also account for any insert or protective material that will sit between the product and the box.

08 Can you help with the packaging dieline?

The dieline should follow the confirmed box dimensions and structure. If your project is still at an early stage, provide the product dimensions, intended use and artwork information so the structural requirements can be established first.

HAVE YOUR PRODUCT DETAILS READY?

Turn the product into a packaging specification.
