Paper-only mailers
Replacing plastic poly-mailers with corrugated and kraft paper alternatives — recyclable in any paper stream.
Apparel Packaging
Mailers, boxes and shopping bags for fashion brands.
Apparel packaging has to feel premium in a fitting room and survive the post. We build poly-mailer alternatives, branded corrugated mailers, rigid apparel boxes, and boutique shopping bags. Apparel buyers — from DTC startup brands to established multi-SKU labels — face three recurring pain points: plastic poly-mailers that feel cheap at a moment when every unboxing is photographed, corrugated mailers whose seams tear on the last mile, and paper shopping bags whose handles fail under the weight of heavier outerwear. Typical order runs are 500–3,000 units for DTC startup brands and 20,000–100,000 units for established labels shipping to retail accounts. MOQ is 500 units for corrugated mailers and 1,000 units for rigid boxes and shopping bags. Lead time is 10–15 working days from sample approval; rush production is available for a 30% premium. Common questions from buyers include whether mailers can be custom-sized to reduce dimensional-weight charges, whether inside-print campaigns are cost-effective, and if we can match Pantone colors across mailer, box and bag. We address these by producing every mailer to your exact product dimensions (saving up to 30% on shipping costs), offering full-color inside prints at a small upcharge, and color-managing the entire order through a single press profile. Whether your unboxing lives on a landing page, a TikTok feed or a boutique counter, we engineer apparel packaging that looks premium on camera and holds up in courier trucks.

Frequently asked
Yes — corrugated and kraft.
Our corrugated mailers and kraft bags are 100% plastic-free. We do not offer traditional poly-mailers as part of our catalog.
Yes — custom die-cut mailers from 500 units.
Every mailer is engineered to your product dimensions. Sizing a mailer to fit without void material reduces dimensional-weight charges by 20–30% and saves on filler cost. Standard turnaround for a custom die-cut mailer is 10–15 working days.
Yes — full-color inside prints.
Mailers are available with full-color outside-only, inside-only, or double-sided print. A double-sided mailer costs 12–18% more than an outside-only print and lets you run thank-you copy, social calls-to-action, or care instructions without a separate insert card.
50 units for rigid, 500 for mailers.
Our standard MOQ is 50 units for rigid boxes, 500 units for corrugated mailers, and 1,000 units for shopping bags. This lets DTC startup brands test a market without committing to volume.
Yes — magnetic-close rigid boxes.
We produce rigid shirt boxes with magnetic-close lids for premium shirts, ties, and accessories. Boxes are available in standard shirt dimensions or custom sizes, with options for tissue paper, ribbon, and custom inserts.
Yes — 100% recyclable paper.
Our kraft paper bags and corrugated mailers are 100% recyclable in standard paper streams. No plastic liners or coatings are used, making them the most eco-friendly option for apparel packaging.
