They’re alright

Design prints well, but the material doesn’t really feel good in the hand. Thinner cardboard
Response from Vistaprint Customer Care Team:
Thank you so much for sharing your feedback. We’re glad to hear the design printed well on your Mailer Box Samples, and we truly appreciate your candid thoughts about the material feel. We understand how important it is for packaging to not only look great but also feel sturdy and reassuring in hand. The mailer boxes you received are made from 1/16" white E-flute corrugated cardboard, chosen for its lightweight structure, crush resistance, and excellent printability. While E-flute is ideal for small to mid-sized shipments, it can feel thinner compared to more rigid packaging options—especially if you're seeking a more premium tactile experience. For customers looking for a thicker, more substantial material, we recommend exploring our Full-Print Shipping Boxes or Square Mailer Boxes, which use 1/8" white B-flute cardboard. B-flute offers a noticeably sturdier feel and is better suited for heavier or bulkier items. You can learn more about these options on our packaging page (https://www.vistaprint.com/packaging/shipping-supplies). Your feedback has been shared with our product team as part of our ongoing efforts to improve both the functionality and customer experience of our packaging solutions. If you have any questions or would like personalized assistance in selecting the best packaging for your needs, our Customer Support team is here to help at 1-866-207-4955, or you can visit our Help Center (https://www.vistaprint.com/customer-care/help-center/). Thank you again for helping us grow—we’re grateful for your input and look forward to serving you again.

The samples were really helpful for helping me understand how my products would fit in the boxes

Jul 10, 2025 | Cassie N. | Verified Buyer
I love that they offer this option at the low price point because it helps me visualize what custom mailer boxes could look like for the brand I’m trying to launch soon. Really impressed with the quality. I want to try out other sizes, too!

Exactly as described

It's great to be able to get samples to touch and feel the product prior to purchasing. The price is right as well.

Mailer Box samples

Bought these samples tonsee which size I would need for my small business. Was able to order 2 sizes. The 11. 25 size was perfect, and was easy to put together. While the larger size was too big it did bend incorrectly resulting in me not being able to fully close it but it didn't matter it wasn't the correct size anyway. Check out Otaku Pup Barkery on ig

E-flute is very thin (1/16") corrugated cardboard. It’s very easy to fold and is excellent for printing. Sturdy and crush resistant, it’s a good option for shipments – we do not recommend these mailers for very large or heavy items
