Tab lock mailer sizes
A tab lock mailer is a corrugated mailer box whose lid locks itself: a tab on the front wall comes up through a slot in the lid and holds it shut, with no tape or glue. Suppliers also call it a tab locking literature mailer, a front lock mailer or a roll end tuck top box. It ships flat and suits books, printed matter, clothing and subscription orders.

Stock sizes from a US supplier's list, inside dimensions. Stock mailers of this kind run from about 200 × 200 × 70 mm to 610 × 355 × 100 mm, most of them flat: 40–150 mm high.
How to measure
- Length: side to side, along the front wall with the lock tab.
- Width: front to back, from the front wall to the lid's hinge. It can't be more than the length.
- Height: how tall the walls stand. It can't be more than the width.
Our sizes are crease to crease. The end walls are double and the lid has a second, inner lid under it, so the clear space inside is about two board thicknesses shorter and one lower.
How the lock works
The end walls fold round from the back wall and roll over the front wall's flaps, which holds the box square. An inner lid folds in from the front wall. Then the lid comes down, its tongue slides in behind the front wall, and the tab on the front wall snaps up through the slot in the lid. Press the tab back with a thumb to open it. For a plain lid without a lock, see the mailer box.
