Frequently Asked Questions

What is a custom kraft mailer box?

A custom kraft mailer box is a self-locking corrugated shipping box made from natural unbleached kraft board, printed with your brand logo and design. The tuck flap closure seals the box securely without tape or glue. Kraft mailer boxes are widely used in e-commerce fulfillment, subscription box programs, and retail shipping by brands that want reliable product protection combined with an eco-friendly, natural packaging aesthetic.

What is the difference between a kraft mailer box and an open-top kraft box?

A kraft mailer box has a self-locking tuck flap that fully encloses the product — suitable for any product type, including those that need to be sealed for transit security or protection from dust and moisture. An open-top kraft box has no lid; products are dropped in from above, which speeds up loading for flat or folded items like apparel but does not provide a sealed enclosure. Choose a mailer box for enclosed shipping; choose an open-top box for fast-loading fulfillment of flat goods.

How does printing on kraft board differ from white-coated board?

Natural kraft board has a brown surface that affects printed color appearance — colors print warmer and less vibrant than on white-coated board, and light colors (white, yellow, pastel) are not achievable without a white-top liner. For single-color or two-color logo printing (especially black or dark ink on kraft), results are excellent with a premium natural aesthetic. For full-color CMYK designs requiring accurate color reproduction, we recommend specifying a white-top liner over the kraft corrugated base.

Is kraft corrugated board genuinely eco-friendly?

Yes, with qualification. Kraft corrugated board uses unbleached pulp, requiring fewer chemical processing steps than bleached white board — resulting in lower water and chemical consumption during manufacturing. Our kraft board is FSC-certified, confirming responsible forest sourcing. It is fully recyclable and biodegradable. However, the environmental impact of any packaging also depends on shipping distance, fill rate, and end-of-life disposal — we recommend right-sizing your box dimensions to minimize void fill and overall material use.

Can I print my logo in white ink on a kraft mailer box?

White ink cannot be printed directly on natural kraft board because the brown surface absorbs and obscures white pigment. To achieve white elements in your design, you have two options: specify a white-top liner over the kraft corrugated base (which provides a white print surface while retaining the kraft board structure), or use a design that works with the natural kraft color — for example, a dark ink logo that lets the kraft tone show through as a design element.

Are your kraft mailer boxes FSC certified?

Yes. Our facility holds FSC certification for responsibly sourced paper and board materials, ISO9001 quality management certification, and SGS verification. Certification documentation is available on request for brands with sustainability reporting, retailer compliance, or B-Corp certification requirements.

What file format should I submit for my print design?

Preferred formats: AI, PDF, CDR. Also accepted: PSD, EPS. All text must be converted to outlines (vectorised) to prevent font substitution. If you only have brand guidelines or low-resolution assets, our design team will build the full print-ready dieline artwork at no extra charge.

What is the total lead time from order to delivery?

Typically 12–25 business days: 3–5 days for sample approval + 5–15 days production + 3–7 days express shipping via DHL, UPS, or FedEx. For subscription box programs or seasonal campaigns with fixed dispatch dates, contact us early to schedule production capacity.
