Customization Options
Sizes
Most orders are built around standard 11oz or 15oz mugs, but we cut custom dielines and cradle inserts for tumblers, travel mugs, or oversized drinkware on request.
Materials
Kraft corrugated suits a coffee-brand or artisan gift aesthetic, while white corrugated gives bold CMYK prints their truest color for promotional or retail drinkware.
Printing & Branding
Full CMYK printing covers your logo, brand pattern, or gift messaging on both the exterior shipping surface and the interior gift-reveal panel.
Cradle & Insert Design
The foam or corrugated cradle is sized to your specific mug’s diameter and height so the handle and rim stay fixed in place rather than knocking against the box walls in transit.
Industries & Use Cases
Mug mailer boxes are ordered by coffee and tea brands, ceramics studios and independent potters, promotional products companies, corporate gifting programs, and gift shops shipping drinkware direct-to-consumer or as part of a bundled gift set.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the minimum order for mug mailer boxes?
The minimum order is 100 units, which works well for a new drinkware SKU or a limited gift-set run.

Yes, those are our most common sizes, and we also build custom dielines for tumblers, travel mugs, or other drinkware shapes on request.
What printing options are available?
Full CMYK and PMS spot-color printing are available inside and out, along with matte or gloss lamination, spot UV, and foil stamping.
How long does production take?
Standard turnaround is 10–15 business days from proof approval, with an 8 business day expedited option available.
Are there setup or plate charges?
No. Crat Packaging does not charge setup, plate, or die-cut fees on any custom order.
