Customization Options
Sizes
Our standard dieline fits a single 12-inch LP, and we adjust the depth for multi-record box sets or step the dimensions down for 7-inch singles.
Materials
Kraft corrugated gives an understated, label-branded look popular with independent pressings, while white corrugated offers a cleaner base for full-color album artwork.
Printing & Branding
Full CMYK printing works well for reproducing album cover art directly on the mailer, or we can keep the exterior plain kraft with your record label’s logo printed on the interior only.
Protection Add-ons
Adjustable-depth closure flaps keep the record from sliding inside the mailer, and reinforced corners reduce the corner-crush damage common with standard flat-rate boxes.
Industries & Use Cases
Record mailer boxes are ordered by independent record labels, vinyl pressing plants, record stores shipping mail orders, musicians selling vinyl direct-to-fan, and subscription vinyl clubs shipping monthly releases.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the minimum order for record mailer boxes?
The minimum order is 100 units, which suits a limited vinyl pressing run or an independent label’s first release.

Yes. Our standard dieline is sized for a single 12-inch LP, and we adjust the depth for multi-record sets or step it down for 7-inch singles.
