Frequently Asked Questions

What is an open-top kraft mailer box?

An open-top kraft mailer box is a corrugated packaging format with no lid — the top is open, allowing products to be dropped in directly without folding into a closed box. The base self-locks for structural integrity. This format is widely used for apparel, folded garments, accessories, and flat-packed goods where fast loading speed is a priority in fulfillment operations. The natural kraft finish is unbleached corrugated board that gives the packaging an eco-friendly, artisanal aesthetic.

What products are best suited for open-top kraft mailer boxes?

Open-top boxes are best suited for products that can be placed or folded into the box from above without requiring a sealed lid: folded apparel (t-shirts, hoodies, knitwear), accessories (scarves, belts, hats), books and magazines, flat-packed homewares, and subscription box contents assembled at a packing station. They are not recommended for fragile items requiring full enclosure or products that need to be sealed for transit security.

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

Natural kraft board has a brown surface that affects how printed colors appear — 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), kraft board produces excellent results with a premium natural aesthetic. For full-color CMYK designs with accurate color reproduction, we recommend specifying a white-top liner over the kraft corrugated base.

Is kraft corrugated board more sustainable than standard white corrugated?

Kraft corrugated board uses unbleached pulp, which requires 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 also fully recyclable and biodegradable. For brands communicating sustainability credentials, kraft packaging provides both genuine environmental benefit and a visual signal of eco-conscious values.

Are your open-top 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 or retailer compliance requirements.

Can I print my logo on the inside of an open-top box?

Yes. Interior printing is available on open-top boxes. Common interior applications include a brand message on the base interior, a pattern on the inner side walls, or care and handling instructions. Interior print on kraft board follows the same color considerations as exterior — dark inks print well; light colors require a white liner for accurate reproduction.

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). 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. For seasonal apparel launches or subscription box programs with fixed dispatch dates, contact us early to schedule production capacity.
