Below are some key recommendations to keep in mind when creating your artwork for custom mailers. By adhering to these guidelines, you can ensure optimal print quality and consistency in your designs for custom mailer boxes, printed mailers, and other customizable mailer solutions. Let’s dive into the details!
Color Recommendations - Black & Gray
When designing customized mailers, ensure that black text or linework is set to a CMYK value of 0-0-0-100, utilizing solely black ink rather than a composite or "rich" black value. For expansive gray sections in custom mailer boxes, employ a CMYK value of 0-0-0-20, devoid of cyan, magenta, or yellow components.
For extensive black surfaces, such as backgrounds in printed mailers, opting for our "rich" black value (CMYK 60-40-40-100) is recommended to mitigate potential banding issues during printing.
Raster Images
Frequently saved as .jpg, .png, .psd, .tif, or occasionally .pdf file formats, we advocate for high-resolution images at 300 pixels per inch (ppi) for custom printed mailer boxes. Lower resolutions can lead to visibly reduced print quality when converted to halftone. Opt for high-contrast raster images for optimal outcomes in custom mailer design.
Vector Graphics
Typically identified as .ai, .eps, or .pdf file formats, ensure to outline all text to maintain a consistent appearance in your customized mailers and prevent unexpected alterations. Embed images to avoid potential printing issues related to unlinked files. Flatten all transparencies, including any screens or overlays with less than 100% opacity, or convert them to a 100% opacity CMYK color build to ensure seamless printing.
Typography/Fonts
For custom mailer designs, opt for a font size of 10pt (corrugated mailer box) or 6pt (paperboard) or larger to ensure clarity and legibility. Fonts smaller than this may result in fuzzy or indistinct text, which is crucial in custom mailer box printing.
Choose thicker or bolder fonts for enhanced legibility. Reserve script or thin fonts for specific instances, as they may not reproduce well in print. When using light-colored or knockout-white text on a dark background, prioritize bold or thick-lettered fonts. This prevents text from becoming less visible due to ink bleed or the optical illusion created by dark backgrounds, ensuring clarity in custom mailers.
Turn Fonts to Outline
Turn all text to 'outline' before uploading your artwork for printing. This will ensure that no fonts are missing in your artwork file and that you achieve the desired outcome for your custom printed mailers.

Talk To An ExpertA mailer box is a packaging solution designed to securely ship products directly to customers while also serving as an attractive presentation for the product inside. Unlike traditional shipping boxes, mailer boxes are often made of durable materials like corrugated cardboard but feature a more aesthetically pleasing design with custom printing and branding elements.
Mailer boxes are versatile packaging solutions used for various purposes across industries. Primarily, they are employed for shipping products directly to customers in a secure and presentable manner. These boxes are designed to offer both protection during transit and an aesthetically pleasing unboxing experience.
Mailer boxes are commonly utilized by e-commerce businesses to package items such as clothing, cosmetics, electronics, and artisanal goods. They serve as a branding tool, allowing businesses to customize the packaging with their logo, colors, and messaging, thereby enhancing brand recognition and customer loyalty. Additionally, mailer boxes are eco-friendly alternatives to traditional packaging materials, often made from recycled or biodegradable materials, aligning with the growing consumer demand for sustainable practices. Overall, mailer boxes streamline the shipping process, elevate brand image, and contribute to a positive customer experience.
At Packstudio, we take a unique approach to shipping our mailer boxes: we ship them unfolded. This strategic decision offers several advantages for both us and our customers.
Shipping mailer boxes unfolded optimizes storage space and reduces shipping costs, allowing us to pass on savings to our customers. Upon receiving their order, customers can easily assemble the mailer boxes following simple instructions provided, ensuring a hassle-free packaging experience.
The choice of material for a mailer box depends on various factors, including the nature of the products being shipped, environmental considerations, and branding preferences. However, one of the most popular and versatile materials for mailer boxes is corrugated cardboard.
Corrugated cardboard offers an excellent balance of strength, durability, and lightweight properties, making it ideal for protecting items during transit while minimizing shipping costs. It consists of fluted paperboard sandwiched between two flat linerboards, providing structural integrity and cushioning against impacts.
From an environmental standpoint, corrugated cardboard is highly sustainable, as it's primarily made from recycled materials and is fully recyclable after use. Additionally, it can be easily customized with printing, branding, and design elements to create a unique unboxing experience and enhance brand visibility
Custom boxes offer numerous benefits that make them worth the investment for businesses across various industries. Unlike standard packaging solutions, custom boxes are tailored to meet specific branding, marketing, and product protection needs.
One of the primary advantages of custom boxes is brand differentiation. By incorporating unique designs, colors, logos, and messaging, businesses can stand out in a crowded marketplace and leave a memorable impression on customers. Custom boxes serve as powerful marketing tools, reinforcing brand identity and enhancing brand recognition with every shipment.
