About this dieline

A shallow mailer box is a low one-piece corrugated box with a lid hinged at the back. Its two end walls are double: each folds up, over and back down inside and locks into slots in the base with small tabs, holding the corner flaps of the front and back walls between its layers. No glue and no tape.

Enter the width, depth and height and the board thickness, and download a print-ready PDF with cut and crease lines. Sizes are crease to crease, the way box makers quote them; the board thickness is allowed for only where it matters: the double end walls, the lid and the lock slots. The drawing comes from a real production die.

What is it used for?

Anything flat that has to stay flat in the post or in the hand: prints and documents, a tart or flatbreads, a set of thin gifts. It ships flat and folds by hand.

How do I fold it?

Fold each end wall up, over and back down inside, and push its small tabs into the slots in the floor; the corner flaps tuck in between the two layers. Then close the lid and tuck its front flap in behind the front wall.
