Choosing the Right Mailer Size for Ecommerce Shipments

Oversized boxes cost you DIM weight. Too tight, and products arrive damaged. Here's a simple sizing framework for common SKUs.

Start with product + void fill

Mailer sizing starts with your product dimensions plus protective void fill. Add 0.25–0.5 inches per side for soft goods; more for fragile items needing inserts.

Standardize your catalog

Standardize on 2–3 mailer sizes across your catalog to simplify purchasing and reduce freight surprises from dimensional weight pricing.
