Custom Book Boxes and Book Mailers

Sending publications through the post requires packaging that's up to the job. Whether you're dispatching a single novel or a bulk order of catalogues, the right box makes all the difference — protecting your contents, representing your brand and arriving in perfect condition every time. At Pixartprinting, our range of custom book boxes has been designed with exactly that in mind: durable, lightweight corrugated cardboard packaging that can be fully printed inside and out, with no minimum order and free delivery, always.

What Is the Best Box to Mail Books In?

The best box for mailing books is one that fits snugly around the publication, absorbs the bumps and knocks of transit and arrives looking as good as when it left. Our book shipping boxes are made from E-flute corrugated cardboard — a lightweight yet robust material with internal fluting that insulates the contents and cushions them against drops and impacts during shipping. Available in A4 and A5 formats, our book boxes are sized to accommodate books, magazines, catalogues and any other printed publication without excess movement inside the package. The result is a secure, professional parcel that reflects the quality of what's inside.

Book Mailing Boxes for Publishers and Businesses Across the UK

From independent publishers and online bookshops to corporate marketing teams and e-commerce businesses, our book mailing boxes are trusted by businesses of all sizes across the UK. Unlike plain brown postal boxes, our book mailers can be fully customised with your branding, artwork or messaging — printed on the outside to catch the eye, and on the inside to create a memorable unboxing experience for your recipients. Whether you're sending out press copies, subscription boxes or promotional materials, our custom book boxes help your brand make an impression from the moment your package is picked up.

Book Wrap Packaging: A Secure Solution for Every Publication

Our book wraps are designed to hold any type of publication securely throughout its postal journey. The corrugated cardboard construction provides a rigid outer shell that resists crushing, while the internal fluting absorbs shocks and prevents the contents from shifting in transit. Available in both white and brown corrugated board, our book wrap packaging is suitable for books, magazines, catalogues, booklets and any other flat or semi-rigid publication. The self-locking design makes assembly quick and straightforward — no tape required — saving time whether you're packing one order or hundreds.

Book Mailers for Small Businesses: No Minimum Order Required

Running a small business or independent press shouldn't mean being locked into large minimum order quantities. At Pixartprinting, you can order our custom book mailers from as little as one single copy — meaning you only ever order what you need, with no waste and no unnecessary outlay. This makes our book mailing boxes the perfect choice for small businesses, self-publishers, independent bookshops and anyone who needs professional, branded packaging without committing to a large print run. And with free delivery on every order, the price you see is the price you pay.

White and Brown Corrugated Cardboard

Our book boxes are available in two corrugated cardboard materials, each with its own distinct look and practical characteristics:

• White E-flute corrugated cardboard — A durable, lightweight board coated on both sides for excellent print quality inside and out. The white surface provides a clean, bright base that allows colours to reproduce accurately and vividly. The internal E-flute structure insulates the contents and absorbs knocks during shipping. Thickness: 1.8 mm.
• Brown E-flute corrugated cardboard — A hard-wearing kraft paper board with a natural, earthy tone that gives your packaging a distinctive, characterful look. High print quality is achievable on both sides, though please note that white printing is not available on brown mailing boxes, and printed colours may vary slightly due to the natural colour of the kraft paper. The internal fluting offers the same robust protection as the white option. Thickness: 1.8 mm.

Both materials are FSC™ certified, meaning they are sourced from forests managed in accordance with rigorous environmental, social and economic standards — a responsible choice for businesses that care about where their materials come from.

A4 and A5 Book Shipping Boxes

Our book shipping boxes are available in two standard formats to accommodate the most common publication sizes:

• A4 — ideal for larger publications such as full-size magazines, A4 catalogues, coffee-table books and corporate reports.
• A5 — perfect for standard paperback novels, A5 booklets, smaller magazines and slim catalogues.

Both formats are designed to hold your publication securely without excessive internal movement, minimising the risk of damage during transit.

Printing Options: Inside, Outside or Both

One of the most compelling features of our book mailers is the flexibility of the printing options available. Choose from three configurations to suit your needs:

• Outside printing only — make your packaging immediately recognisable with your logo, brand colours or a striking graphic on the outer surface.
• Inside printing only — create a surprise for the recipient with a personalised message, branded pattern or design reveal on the inside of the box.
• Inside and outside printing — combine both for a fully immersive branded experience that looks professional at every touchpoint, from delivery to unboxing.

Custom Book Boxes with Your Logo

In today's competitive market, packaging is an extension of your brand. Our custom book boxes with logo printing give you the opportunity to turn every delivery into a brand touchpoint — whether that's a bold logo on the outer panel, a personalised message inside the lid or a full-bleed design that makes your parcel impossible to miss. Custom printed book mailing boxes are particularly effective for subscription services, limited-edition releases, press kits and any situation where the presentation of your publication matters as much as the content itself.
