The Boxery outlines how recyclable affordable mailers help ecommerce brands reduce packaging waste
Oct 25, 2026
The Boxery of Lyndhurst, NY, outlines how recyclable, lighter-weight affordable mailers can help ecommerce brands reduce packaging waste and respond to growing customer expectations for sustainable shipping.
Lyndhurst, United States, October 25, 2026 -- Packaging has become a visible part of the online shopping experience. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency reports that containers and packaging made up roughly 28 percent of municipal solid waste generated in the United States in its most recent published figures, and corrugated boxes are among the most commonly recycled materials in that stream. For ecommerce brands, packaging choices can therefore affect both waste volumes and how customers perceive a company’s environmental practices.
According to The Boxery, corrugated mailers are one option for shippers handling books, apparel, media, and other flat or low-profile items. These mailers are made from a single piece of scored corrugated cardboard that folds into shape, and many designs lock closed without tape. Because they use less material than a standard box sized for the same item, they can reduce the amount of cardboard that ends up in a customer’s recycling bin.
The company also points to weight and size as factors in sustainable shipping. Lighter mailers add less weight to each parcel, which can lower the fuel needed to move it, and they ship and store flat, allowing sellers to keep more inventory in less space. Right-sizing, choosing a mailer or box that closely matches the product, also reduces void fill, such as paper or plastic cushioning, used to keep items from shifting.
The guidance further notes that cost is a consideration for small and mid-sized sellers evaluating packaging changes. Because affordable mailers typically require less raw material than rigid boxes and can be purchased in bulk, sellers may reduce per-shipment packaging expenses while lowering material use. The Boxery says sellers should still confirm that a mailer provides adequate protection for the specific product being shipped.
“Many ecommerce brands are looking at packaging as part of their sustainability efforts, and the simplest changes are often the most effective,” said The Boxery's owner. “Choosing a recyclable mailer that fits the product closely reduces material use, and it gives customers packaging that is easy to flatten and recycle at home.”

Novel idea: Thailand, Vietnam take books on the road in reading drive
Tran Dai Thang spotted two young people who had picked up their drinks at a pop-up cafe beside his travelling bookstore and were about to leave, so he called them over. One of them said they did not read books, Thang recalled. But he kept the conversation going and eventually persuaded the visitor to buy a book for 10,000 dong (US$0.40) – heavily discounted from its original price of 45,000 dong. For Thang, an artist and publisher, the small sale mattered far less than the fact that someone who...
