Custom White Mailer Box & White Mailer Packaging
White is the cleanest surface you can print on and the least forgiving one to ship in. Colors reproduce accurately, photography looks crisp, and every scuff picked up between your warehouse and a doorstep sits there in plain view. Both of those things are true at once. We produce a lot of white mailer packaging at ZEE Packaging and managing that trade off is the real conversation.
The Best Surface For Color
A white mailer box gives you accurate reproduction.
- Colors print true rather than shifting warm as they do on kraft
- Pastels and light shades are achievable, which kraft cannot manage
- Photography reproduces sharply on a white substrate
- White ink is unnecessary, since the board is already white
- Brand colors match your other materials far more closely
- Interior print looks bright rather than muted
Most brands choosing white mailer packaging do so because their palette simply does not work on brown board.
Marking Is The Trade Off
We would rather be straight about this upfront.
- White shows every scuff picked up in a courier network
- Conveyor belts leave gray marks along the edges
- Fingerprints show more than on any other board color
- Uncoated white marks fastest of all
- A matte lamination reduces it considerably
- Recycled white carries a slight gray cast that hides marks a little
- Roll end tuck front our most ordered white mailer box
- Crash lock bottom faster assembly at a packing bench
- Ear lock format locking without tape
- With an adhesive strip sealed shipping and returns
- Book wrap folding to the thickness of flat goods
- With a printed interior full color inside and out
Sizes We Print Regular
Every white mailer box is built to your product, though these run often:
- 6" x 4" x 2" for small items
- 8" x 6" x 3" for a standard order
- 10" x 8" x 4" for a mid size product
- 12" x 9" x 3" for apparel
- 9" x 6" x 2" for books and prints
- 14" x 10" x 5" for larger orders
Board And Print
- E flute white corrugated for light single item orders
- B flute where parcels are stacked or carry weight
- White inner liner as well as outer, for bright interior print
- Litho laminated for full color across the whole surface
- Flexo printing for one or two colors at volume
- Matte lamination, which we would recommend for scuff resistance
Specify white on both faces if you plan to print inside. A white outer with a kraft inner liner leaves the interior print looking muted, which surprises people.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the price of a white mailer box?
Rough estimate is $0.40 to $1.00 per unit plain, $0.60 to $1.50 with one color print and $1.00 to $2.40 for full color at moderate quantity. Volume moves it. Shipping is included in our price. This is estimate only, so ask our team for a exact quote.
Is white more expensive than kraft?
Slightly, since the board is bleached or coated. The difference is smaller than most people expect at volume.
Will it arrive scuffed?
Uncoated white often does. A matte lamination or an aqueous coating reduces it considerably without much added cost.
Do we need white inside as well?
If you are printing the interior, yes. A kraft inner liner mutes the color and undercuts what you are paying for.
Is recycled white available?
Yes, though it carries a light gray cast. Some brands prefer that, since it hides transit marks better.
Will pastels print properly?
Far better than on kraft. White board is the only realistic option for light and delicate color palettes.
Does lamination stop it recycling?
Plastic film complicates it. An aqueous coating keeps the box in a normal curbside stream.
