Your logo, on every mailer
Everything you need to know about custom kraft mailers
Kraft mailers are shipping envelopes and boxes made from kraft paper — the strong, brown (or bleached white) paper prized for its durability and its recyclable, natural look. Custom kraft mailers take that same practical package and print it with your logo, brand colors, or message, so every order that leaves your warehouse arrives looking intentional. For e-commerce stores, subscription brands, apparel labels, and handmade sellers, a branded mailer is often the first physical touchpoint a customer has with your business — and a quiet, repeatable form of marketing on every doorstep.
Because kraft mailers are made to order, the right specification depends on what you ship and how you want it to feel in the customer’s hands. This guide walks through the standard mailer sizes and dimensions, the difference between padded bubble mailers, flat paper mailers and rigid boxes, the materials and closures that drive durability, how the ordering process runs from artwork to delivery, and how bulk pricing works. If you already know what you need, you can request a custom quote at any point.
A branded mailer works twice — protection and marketing
Plain brown envelopes get thrown away and forgotten. A custom kraft mailer printed with your logo does the same protective job while turning delivery day into a branded moment. Whether you’re shipping apparel, beauty products, books, or a monthly subscription box, custom kraft mailers make your packaging look considered and unmistakably yours — without the cost or weight of a rigid box.
Brand visibility
Every mailer becomes a doorstep billboard. Print your logo, tagline, or handle in full color so your brand travels with each order and shows up on every unboxing photo.
Built to protect
Tear-resistant kraft paper, optional bubble or foam lining, and a strong self-seal closure keep products cushioned and secure from the warehouse to the door.

Kraft mailer sizes: which one fits your product?
Padded kraft bubble mailers follow a widely used industry sizing system, numbered from #000 (smallest) to #7 (largest). The number tells you the usable interior space. Smaller #000–#1 mailers suit jewelry, cosmetics and accessories; mid-range #2–#5 sizes fit apparel, books and small electronics; #6–#7 handle bulky or oversized items. Here’s how the common sizes compare.
Mailer length by size (inches)
Lengths shown are common usable interior dimensions; exact sizing can vary slightly by manufacturer.
Mailer width by size (inches)
Choose a size that leaves a little room around your product so the closure seals cleanly.
| Size | Common interior dimensions | Typical fit | Padded option |
|---|---|---|---|
| #000 Smallest | 4" × 8" | Jewelry, cosmetics, small parts | Yes |
| #0 | 6" × 10" | Accessories, phone cases, samples | Yes |
| #2 Popular | 8.5" × 12" | Apparel, books, soft goods | Yes |
| #5 | 10.5" × 16" | Folded garments, bundles | Yes |
| #7 Largest | 14.25" × 20" | Bulky or oversized items | Yes |

Strong, lightweight, and easy on the planet
Kraft paper is made from wood pulp processed to keep long, strong fibers, which is what gives kraft mailers their characteristic tear resistance and rigidity. The natural brown finish comes from unbleached pulp; a bleached process produces white kraft. Both are widely recyclable and are commonly made with recycled content, which is a big part of why kraft mailers appeal to brands that want packaging with a lower environmental footprint.
For fragile or higher-value items, choose a padded kraft mailer with a bubble or paper-honeycomb cushioning layer bonded inside the kraft shell — you get protection without jumping to a heavier box. Most mailers close with a peel-and-seal adhesive strip, and many include a secondary tear strip for easy opening. You choose the mailer type, paper color, and closure that match how your product ships and how you want it to feel when it arrives.
- Strong kraft paper — tear-resistant and rigid for shipping
- Recyclable material — natural kraft with common recycled content
- Padded options — bubble or paper cushioning for fragile items
- Self-seal closure — peel-and-stick adhesive strip, no tape needed
- Tear-strip opening — clean, easy access for the customer
- Full-color printing — logos and artwork cured to resist scuffing

One mailer, many brands
How custom kraft mailer pricing works
Custom kraft mailers are priced per unit, and the per-mailer price drops as your quantity climbs. Your final quote depends on four things: mailer size, type (flat, padded, or rigid), number of print colors, and total quantity. Larger runs and simpler artwork bring the unit cost down the most.
