How to choose a rigid mailer
Size: leave room around the item
Sizes on this page are the flat size of the mailer in inches, short side first. Seams and the closure flap use part of that space, so pick a mailer at least 1/2 inch wider and 1/2 inch longer than the item.
| Item | Mailer sizes to start with, in |
|---|---|
| 4 x 6 or 5 x 7 photo | 6 x 8, 6 x 9 |
| 8 x 10 photo | 8 1/2 x 10 1/2, 9 x 11 1/2 |
| Letter paper, 8 1/2 x 11 | 9 x 11 1/2, 9 1/2 x 12 1/2, 9 3/4 x 12 1/4 |
| 11 x 14 print | 12 1/2 x 15, 12 3/4 x 15 |
| 11 x 17 sheet | 13 x 18 |
| 16 x 20 print | 17 x 21 |
| 18 x 24 poster | 20 x 27, 22 x 27 |
Board thickness
Board thickness is listed in thousandths of an inch, so a higher number means thicker board. Kraft tab lock mailers here use .036 board. Kraft self-seal chipboard mailers and white tab lock mailers use .028. White self-seal mailers are mostly .018 or .020, and a few sizes use .012, .024 or .028. The kraft laminated fiberboard mailers, 7 1/4 x 10 1/2 to 14 1/2 x 18 1/2, are a separate line with a self-seal flap.
Tab lock or self-seal
A tab lock mailer closes by tucking a tab into a slot, so no tape is needed. A self-seal chipboard mailer has an adhesive strip under a liner: peel the liner and press the flap down. The self-seal chipboard mailers here also have a tear strip, so the recipient can open them without scissors.
Gusseted, side loading and top loading styles
The 7 3/4 x 10 and 9 1/2 x 12 1/2 white self-seal mailers have a 1 inch gusset that adds depth for thicker contents. The product grid also lists 12 1/2 x 15 and 14 x 17 gusseted mailers and kraft expansion mailers 3 or 4 inches deep. Side loading mailers take the item in from the side, like a standard envelope. The table marks each side loading row. The 9 x 11 1/2 white paperboard mailer is top loading.
Postage
USPS charges the large envelope price only for pieces that bend and measure no more than 12 x 15 x 3/4 inches. The USPS Domestic Mail Manual counts a rigid flat-size piece as a parcel, so most rigid mailers pay parcel prices such as USPS Ground Advantage. The 5 1/8 x 5 1/8 to 6 x 9 1/2 sizes are letter size. Filled to no more than 1/4 inch thick and 3.5 ounces, they can mail at the First-Class letter price plus the nonmachinable surcharge for rigid letters.
Buying by the case and pallet
Every row is one case of 50 to 250 mailers. Five white self-seal sizes also come in 25-packs: 6 x 8, 9 x 11 1/2, 9 3/4 x 12 1/4, 11 x 13 1/2 and 12 3/4 x 15.
Volume pricing applies at checkout: at least 3% off when the cart holds 3 or more items and at least 5% off at 6 or more, and cases of different sizes count together. Orders of one or two items with a product subtotal of $500 or more ship free when the checkout freight rate is $120 or less. Orders of three or more items get the volume discount instead of free shipping. Checkout shows the freight for your address before you pay.
For pallets, repeat orders or mixed sizes, request a delivered quote with freight priced for the whole order.
Common questions
What is a stay flat mailer?
A flat envelope made of paperboard. It is also sold as a rigid mailer, photo mailer or cardboard envelope. The board keeps photos, certificates and documents flat in transit. The mailers in the tables are chipboard, recycled paperboard or laminated fiberboard.
Are rigid mailers considered envelopes for postage?
Only in letter size. A rigid piece up to 6 1/8 x 11 1/2 x 1/4 inches and 3.5 ounces mails as a First-Class letter with the nonmachinable surcharge. A larger rigid piece pays parcel prices, since USPS counts a rigid flat-size piece as a parcel.
How much does it cost to mail a rigid mailer?
Price the 7 x 9 and larger sizes as a package. USPS parcel prices depend on weight, distance and service. Thin, light pieces in the smaller sizes can mail as First-Class letters with the nonmachinable surcharge. Weigh one packed mailer, or divide the case weight by the mailer count to get the empty weight.
What is the best way to mail an 8x10 photo?
Use a rigid mailer at least 1/2 inch wider and longer than the print. For an 8 x 10, that is the 8 1/2 x 10 1/2 or the 9 x 11 1/2 size.
What size rigid mailer fits 4x6 photos?
The 6 x 8 size fits 4 x 6 and 5 x 7 prints. The 5 1/8 x 5 1/8 and 6 x 6 sizes suit square cards and prints up to 4 5/8 and 5 1/2 inches.
