What is a Literature Mailer?

Literature mailers (sometimes called book mailers, document mailers, or catalog mailers) are sturdy, self-locking corrugated boxes engineered for flat, slim products. Their design includes fold over flaps and reinforced edges that keep documents secure during shipping without the need for excess filler.

While often used for books and documents, literature mailers are also a popular option for pizza boxes, especially for frozen pizzas, take-and-bake pizzas, flatbreads, and local delivery. Their rigid construction helps keep pizzas flat, protected, and presentable during transport.

Great for: books, catalogs, brochures, binders, photo albums, framed artwork, marketing kits, software/media packages, pizza boxes (frozen, take-and-bake, or local delivery), and small electronics - especially those shipped in a literature box.

"I cannot say enough wonderful things about this packaging company and their incredible team. From start to finish, they truly went above and beyond to support our holiday boxes, and the experience exceeded our expectations in every way.

Their attention to detail, responsiveness, and willingness to problem-solve made a huge difference during a very busy holiday season. They treated our project with care and urgency, as if it were their own, and ensured everything was delivered beautifully and on time.

The final product was not only high-quality and thoughtfully executed, but it also reflected the heart and intention behind our mission. We are deeply grateful for their partnership and would recommend them without hesitation to any organization looking for a reliable, collaborative, and exceptional packaging partner. Thank you for helping us bring something so meaningful to life."
