Select Size, Style, and Ship!  

Catalog or booklet? You can choose between these two styles of rigid mailers depending on what suits your needs. Catalog mailers have the opening and the flap on the shorter side while booklet envelopes have them on the longer part. Each style comes with a specific size option: 

• 10” x 13” Booklet Style fits a 9” x 12” presentation folder. 
• 9” x 11.5” Catalog Style fits an 8.5” x 11” product catalog/booklet. 
• 7” x 9” Catalog Style fits 8” x 10” photos greeting cards, DVDs, and other smaller items.

How are Rigid Mailers Best Used?   

When sending documents and sensitive material, you need all the protection you can get. Custom rigid mailers securely seal your packages and ensure a safe delivery to its destination.  

Here are a few guidelines to follow to get the most out of your rigid mailers: 

Get the right size. It’s tempting to order the biggest size for the extra space but with rigid mailers, you want a snug fit to minimize movement and friction during shipping and handling. 

Choose between 14 pt. or 16 pt. Cardstock for your rigid mailers. 14 pt. Cardstock is our most popular material for mailers and is perfect for bulk printing. The 16 pt. is slightly thicker, more durable, and offers a more premium touch. Three types of finishes are available for rigid mailers. The lamination is on the outside while the inside is uncoated. 

• Gloss reflects light and gives the material a brilliant sheen that makes vivid colors pop. 
• Matte gives your rigid mailers’ colors a more subdued but elegant look. Its non-glossy surface provides better writability. 
• High Gloss (UV) is UV-coated on the front. The UV coating gives it a glossy shine that protects the surface from scratches and scuffs. 

Design with the recipient in mind. Rigid mailers are printed in full color on one side and have an easy-tear tab on the other. Ensure a fuss-free experience for the recipient. The easy-tear tab lets you smoothly open and accesses the documents right away – no need to tear several flaps or flip the contents.
