Frequently asked

What size box for a hardcover book?

A standard hardcover fits a 9x6x2 or 11x8x2 rigid mailer or corrugated book box.

Do I need a rigid mailer for books?

Rigid literature mailers prevent corner dents and are the go-to for single-book shipments.

Can I ship books in a poly mailer?

Only for softcovers — hardcovers require rigid protection or corrugated.

How should I pack multiple books?

Use an ECT-32 corrugated box with kraft-paper void fill to keep books tight against each other.
