Envelope Mailers

Durable, Branded, and Built for Simplicity

What Are Envelope Mailers?

Rigid Paperboard Mailers for Documents and Flat Products

Envelope mailers are flat, self-sealing packages designed to ship documents, inserts, promo materials or lightweight products. Think of them as the premium, branded version of a FedEx-style overnight mailer but made from recyclable, high-caliper paperboard with full-color printing.


When Simplicity and Strength Are Key

Not as common as folding cartons or shipping boxes, envelope mailers are a practical solution for brands that need slim, protective packaging for items that can’t bend or crease in transit.

Features of Our Envelope Mailers

Made from Heavy-Duty Paperboard

We use thick, rigid paperboard (24pt or 28pt) to create mailers that can protect your contents during shipping without requiring additional void fill or corrugated boxes.


Peel-and-Seal Closure

Each mailer has a double-sided adhesive strip for quick, secure closure. Some options have a second strip for easy customer returns.


Custom Sizes and Layouts

Whether you’re mailing flat prints, promo kits or lightweight products like sticker packs, pins or documents, we can size the envelope to your exact specs.


Professional Branding

Unlike stock mailers, these can be fully printed with your branding, logo, campaign graphics or messaging. You can also choose from matte, gloss or soft-touch coatings.

Ideal Use Cases for Envelope Mailers

  • Marketing Collateral: Flat brochures, catalogs, samples, press kits

  • E-Commerce Inserts: Subscription inserts, postcards, loyalty gifts

  • Event Materials: Trade show kits, product launch invites, branded documents

  • Retail Merchandise: Flat accessories, pins, stickers or small apparel

Benefits of Paperboard Envelope Mailers

Lightweight and Low-Profile

Envelope mailers minimize shipping weight and reduce dimensional pricing, saving you money on direct-mail campaigns or sample shipments.


Sturdy Without the Bulk

Our rigid mailers offer more protection than a poly mailer or paper envelope, without the bulk of a box. Perfect for flat or thin contents that need to arrive crisp and undamaged.


Eco-Friendly and Recyclable Made from recyclable paperboard and printed with soy-based inks, our envelope mailers support your brand’s sustainability goals.

Fully Customizable

Edge-to-edge artwork to interior printing, foil stamping or embossed logos, we can make your mailers look as sharp as they function.
