Shipping & Delivery Packaging
The right shipping packaging protects the product, makes fulfilment easier and keeps your store identity present at delivery. Start with the real product details: packed dimensions, weight, sensitivity and whether the order needs a mailer, carton or internal protection.
Choose packaging by the level of protection required
| Product type | Starting option | What to review |
|---|---|---|
| Light clothing and accessories | Mailing bag | Size after folding and sealing, plus address space. |
| Product requiring protection or arrangement | Shipping carton | Dimensions, internal protection and closure stability. |
| Gift or product with an unboxing moment | Printed box or carton | Contents, card and item arrangement. |
| Multi-item order | Larger package or dividers | How movement will be limited in transit. |
Measure the product after it is packed
Do not measure the product in isolation if it will include protective wrap, an inner bag or a card. The correct size leaves working room for closure and protection without creating excessive empty space. Compare examples in this collection, such as a printed shipping carton and printed mailing bags, against the dimensions of your own orders.
Use print to support the delivery experience
Place your logo, colours and a short message where they stay visible in transit. A thank-you card, label or internal message can complement the experience, while still leaving practical room for the customer address and shipping label.

Frequently asked questions
When should I choose a carton instead of a mailing bag?
Choose a carton when the product needs rigid protection, internal arrangement or a more substantial delivery experience.
How do I set the packaging size?
Measure the product after protective material is in place and allow realistic space for closure without excessive void space.
Can branded printing be added to shipping bags or cartons?
Yes. Send the logo, dimensions and quantity so appropriate printing options can be reviewed.
