Q: What is a mailer box? A: A mailer box is a type of paperboard packaging that can be easily assembled with the help of interlocking tabs without the need of any glue or adhesives. As mailer boxes are completely collapsible, they can be shipped and stored flat to optimize shipping and storage costs.

For an enhanced visual impact, these boxes can be printed full colour on both the outside as well as the inside. Q: What does the term ‘dust flap’ refer to when designing a mailer box? A: The folding flaps on either side of the top lid are called dust flaps.
