Which mailer or box should you use?
Match the container to the product. Rigid and fragile goods want a corrugated box. Flat and non-fragile goods ship cheaper in a mailer. Here is how the common formats compare.
| Format | Best For | Protection | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Corrugated box | Heavy, fragile, or multi-item orders | High, rigid walls | Ships in the case, stacks on a pallet |
| Corrugated mailer | Books, electronics, flat products | Medium-high, folds around the item | Ships flat, folds fast |
| Poly mailer | Apparel, soft goods, non-fragile | Low, tear and water resistant | Lightest option, lowest postage |
| Bubble mailer | Small fragile items, parts, jewelry | Medium, padded lining | Ships flat, cushions on contact |
| Mailing envelope | Documents, catalogs, thin goods | Low | Cheapest way to mail flat items |
Stretch wrap or strapping for a pallet?
Most operations use both. Wrap the load to hold it together, then strap it down so nothing shifts. Use stretch wrap to unitize a stacked pallet and keep dust and moisture off. Use strapping to lock heavy or rigid items in place for the ride.
| Method | Use it for | Best with |
|---|---|---|
| Stretch wrap | Holding and unitizing a stacked load, keeping out dust and moisture | Boxed goods, mixed pallets |
| Strapping | Locking heavy or rigid items down, stopping shift in transit | Machinery, lumber, bundled goods |
Frequently asked questions
Most shipping and mailing operations run on five things: an outer container, packing materials to protect what's inside, a way to seal it, a way to unitize a pallet, and the tools to do the work. Boxes and mailers hold the order. Void fill, bubble, and paper keep it from moving. Tape and sealers close it. Stretch wrap and strapping lock the pallet. Knives, labels, and markers keep the station moving.
