One of the biggest packaging mistakes is choosing a bigger box than you need. 

A large box for a small product, not only affects the environment but could be costing your company thousands in order fulfilment value.

We have two mailer boxes sizes that will perfectly complement your small products.

Ideal for jewellery, cosmetics or other small accessories, these small mailer boxes will add value to your product. 

The full-colour mailer is the perfect choice for your small box needs. The vibrant, colourful designs will stand out on the retail shelves or make an immediate impression upon delivery.
