Product Description
Custom shoulder mailer boxes combine a lid, a base and a raised inner neck (the shoulder). When the lid lifts off, the shoulder shows a contrasting band, so the box feels like a rigid gift box while still being strong enough to ship.
Sizes and dimensions
Shoulder boxes are made to your product's inside dimensions, usually in squarer formats such as: - 6 × 6 × 3 in for candles, fragrance and accessories - 8 × 8 × 4 in for skincare sets and gifts - 10 × 8 × 4 in for apparel accessories and PR kits
Materials and board options
For shipping, the lid and base are made from corrugated or laminated board so the box survives courier handling. For retail or in-person gifting, a paperboard version is lighter. The shoulder can be printed in a different colour from the lid to frame the reveal. Shoulder boxes ship assembled or as separate pieces that are glued during packing, so tell us how you pack and we will suggest the best option.
Printing and finishes
Because the lid is lifted, not torn open, this box suits premium finishes: soft-touch lamination, gold or silver foil, embossed logos and spot UV. Print the inside of the lid with a message or pattern for the moment the box opens. Inserts in card or foam hold bottles and fragile items in place.
Common uses
Typical uses: - Influencer and media PR kits - Fragrance and premium candle launches - Watches, sunglasses and small accessories - Limited-edition product drops - Corporate gifts that are mailed to recipients
Is this the right box for you?
Choose a shoulder mailer when the unboxing matters as much as protection, for example PR boxes, launch kits and premium gifts. They take longer to assemble than a one-piece mailer, so for high-volume fulfilment a roll end mailer box is faster to pack. For a fully rigid, non-shipping box, see rigid magnetic closure boxes.
