How to choose
How to choose custom apparel packaging
Four questions decide the box, the board and the finish. Not sure? Send what you know and we suggest the rest.
Are you shipping a soft single garment or a structured multi-piece order?
Single T-shirts, joggers, swimwear, and knitwear ship lightest in tear-resistant poly mailers. Multi-garment orders, structured jackets, hats, and gift orders hold their press and presentation in an E-flute corrugated roll-end mailer box.
How do you keep parcel dimensional weight low on apparel boxes?
Size the mailer footprint to your standard fold board (such as 10 × 8 in for tees or 14 × 11 in for hoodies) and step the depth in 1 to 2 inch increments so you never pay parcel carriers for empty air.
Are you packaging smaller items like socks, ties, belts, lingerie, or sunglasses?
Use 16 to 20 pt paperboard folding cartons, belly bands, or drawer sleeves for retail shelves, then pack multi-item online orders inside a branded mailer box or poly mailer.
Do you sell footwear, hats, or luxury gift sets in boutiques or online?
Choose 1.5 to 2 mm rigid lid-and-base shoe boxes or magnetic closure gift boxes from 50 pieces, paired with custom rope-handle paper shopping bags for in-store checkout and pop-ups.
How do you keep brand colors identical across boxes, bags, tissue, and stickers?
Specify your Pantone code once. We match ink drawdowns across corrugated mailers, laminated shopping bags, tissue paper, and seal stickers under our Pantone color guarantee.
| Garment or accessory | Recommended format | Board or film spec | Typical minimum |
|---|---|---|---|
| Single T-shirt, joggers, swimwear | Custom printed poly mailer + tissue & seal sticker | 2.5–3 mil co-extruded poly film with peel-and-seal strip | Quoted to size |
| Hoodie, knitwear, multi-garment DTC order | Roll-end tuck-front mailer box printed inside & out | E-flute (1/16 in) or B-flute (1/8 in) corrugated board | From 250 |
| Socks, lingerie, ties, belts, scarves | Folding garment carton, sleeve, or hang-tab box | 16–20 pt SBS or kraft paperboard with matte or soft-touch finish | From 1,000 |
| Footwear, hats, luxury gift sets | Two-piece lid-and-base or magnetic closure rigid box | 1.5–2 mm chipboard wrapped in printed matte or textured paper | From 50 |
| Boutique checkout & pop-up retail | Custom paper shopping bag + printed tissue paper | Heavy laminated kraft or art paper with cotton rope handles | Quoted to size |
Box styles
Which apparel box style fits my clothing line?
| Box style | Best garment applications | Ships alone in mail? | Storage footprint |
|---|---|---|---|
| Roll-end tuck-front mailer | DTC clothing orders, streetwear drops, denim and fleece | Yes, corrugated board | Ships and stores flat |
| Two-piece lid and base box | Department store gifts, dress shirts, robes and sweaters | Needs outer bag or shipper | Folding pops up; rigid sets up |
| Straight tuck end carton | Retail shelf tees, basics, activewear and hosiery | Pack in master carton | Ships flat, fast hand pack |
| Magnetic closure rigid box | Bridal wear, cashmere knitwear and VIP press kits | Pack in outer mailer | Pre-assembled rigid wall |
| Collapsible rigid box | Outerwear, blazers and luxury gifts in compact storage | Pack in outer mailer | Folds flat, adhesive corners |
| Drawer slide box | Silk blouses, knitwear sets and accessory bundles | Pack in outer mailer | Two-part rigid or card tray |

Rules and labeling
Apparel packaging requirements
What the packaging may need to show or meet. The wording on your packaging stays yours; we print it as you send it.
- 01
FTC textile fiber, RN & care disclosures on sealed retail cartons (16 CFR Parts 303 & 423)
Under the FTC Textile Act and Care Labeling Rule, apparel must state fiber percentages by weight, business name or RN number, country of origin, and care instructions. When a sealed retail carton or pouch covers the garment tag at point of sale, fiber content, RN/company identity, and country of origin must also appear on the outer package or show through a window. FTC — Labeling Requirements Under the Textile and Wool Acts (16 CFR Part 303 & Part 423)
- 02
Permanent tracking labels on children's apparel packaging (CPSIA Section 103)
Under Section 103 of the Consumer Product Safety Improvement Act, clothing and accessories intended for children 12 and younger must carry permanent tracking information on both the product and its retail packaging, stating the manufacturer or private labeler name, production location and date, and batch or run number. CPSC — Tracking Label Requirement for Children's Products
- 03
Parcel drop, vibration & compression protection (ISTA 3A)
Corrugated apparel mailers and outer footwear shippers should be engineered around ISTA Procedure 3A drop, vibration, and compression conditions so shoe boxes, hats, sunglasses, and folded garments arrive without crushed corners. ISTA — Procedure 3A Parcel Delivery System Shipment
- 04
Recyclable paperboard & recycled poly mailer claims (16 CFR Part 260)
Under the FTC Green Guides, environmental claims on fashion packaging—such as curbside-recyclable corrugated mailers and kraft bags or post-consumer recycled content in poly mailers—must be backed by supplier documentation and clearly qualify store drop-off film recycling versus curbside paper recycling. FTC — Environmental Marketing Claims (Green Guides, 16 CFR Part 260)

FAQ
Custom apparel packaging questions
Mailer box or poly mailer?
A mailer box protects folded or boxed items and feels like a gift; a poly mailer is lighter for soft goods that can bend. Many brands use both: poly mailers for single T-shirts or leggings, and corrugated mailers for multi-item orders, outerwear, hats, and gift orders.
Can you print inside the mailer?
Yes. Inside printing adds a pattern, brand manifesto, or care message customers see the moment they lift the lid, turning a shipping box into a gift unboxing without adding an extra outer carton.
Do you make tissue paper with my logo?
Yes, printed in one or two Pantone colors or full color on lightweight wrapping tissue, paired with matching round or die-cut seal stickers from 500 pieces.
What is the minimum for apparel mailer boxes?
Mailer boxes and corrugated apparel boxes start at 250 pieces, rigid shoe and gift boxes start at 50, seal stickers start at 500, and folding paperboard cartons start at 1,000. The unit price drops as you order more.
What size mailer box fits a folded T-shirt versus a hoodie?
A single folded T-shirt or dress shirt typically fits a 10 × 8 × 2 in or 11 × 8.5 × 2 in mailer, while a heavyweight hoodie or multi-item outfit usually takes a 14 × 11 × 3 in or 15 × 12 × 4 in mailer. We build custom dielines to your exact fold board.
When does apparel retail packaging need FTC fiber and origin disclosures on the outside?
Under the FTC Textile Act (16 CFR Part 303), if a garment such as socks, underwear, hosiery, or a boxed dress shirt is sold in a sealed retail carton that prevents shoppers from inspecting the sewn-in label before buying, the outer carton must display fiber percentages, your RN or company name, and country of origin.
Can I order mailer boxes, poly mailers, tissue paper, and stickers together?
Yes. One account manager quotes and coordinates your corrugated mailers, poly mailers, shopping bags, printed tissue paper, seal stickers, and thank you cards together so your navy, black, or custom Pantone shade matches across every piece. We support brands searching for custom clothing packaging, packaging for clothing brands, custom fashion brand packaging, wholesale garment packaging, boutique apparel packaging solutions, branded clothing mailers and boxes, custom streetwear brand packaging, luxury fashion retail packaging, apparel unboxing packaging sets and ecommerce clothing brand packaging.
