Product Overview

About Tab Lock Mailer Boxes

Secure your products in transit with these self-locking, double-walled corrugated shipping containers. Engineered with dual front locking tabs and protective side dust flaps, they assemble quickly without tape or glue. Design them with custom internal and external printing to build a cohesive brand experience directly on the box.

Tab Lock Mailer Boxes are one-piece, die-cut corrugated packaging containers designed for modern logistics. Also known as FEFCO 0427 or roll end tuck top mailers, these boxes feature a hinged lid, protective side dust flaps, and dual front tabs. The front tabs lock securely into engineered slots in the double-layered front wall of the box base. This physical latching mechanism builds a self-locking, double-walled structure on both the sides and the front when folded. You do not need packing tape, staples, or glue to assemble these shippers.

For online merchants, this design represents a practical balance of strength and presentation. The flat cardboard panels offer an uncluttered canvas for high-definition branding on both the interior and exterior surfaces. While stronger than simple shipping cartons, they assemble fast and help speed up shipping lines. They work well for shipping subscription kits, beauty products, electronics, and apparel.

Cubit manufactures these mailers using high-grade corrugated board designed to survive courier handling. We provide precise structural engineering so your packaging matches your exact product dimensions. Our local production reduces transit times and helps keep your delivery schedules on track.

Common Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about Tab Lock Mailer Boxes. Can't find the answer you're looking for? Chat with our AI consultant.

A tab lock mailer box is a die-cut corrugated box classified under the FEFCO 0427 style. It features a hinged lid with dust flaps and two front tabs that lock into slots within the double-layered front wall of the box base. This design creates a self-locking, sturdy container that requires no glue or tape for assembly.

Assembly takes under a minute. First, fold the side walls upward and fold the inner flaps inward. Next, fold the front panel over the flaps, locking the tabs into the pre-cut slots at the bottom. Once you pack the product, close the lid, slide the side dust flaps inside, and push the front locking tabs into their corresponding slots on the front wall.

The primary difference lies in the thickness and purpose of the board. E-Flute is 1/16 inch thick and offers a smooth, dense surface perfect for high-definition custom printing and small items under 10 lbs. B-Flute is 1/8 inch thick, providing higher crush-resistance and structural strength for heavier products up to 25 lbs.

Yes. We offer dual-side printing via digital, flexographic, and lithographic options. Printing on the interior lid is a popular way to share brand stories, setup instructions, or social handles without complicating the external shipping design.

No. The entire structure is held together by structural friction and the physical locking mechanism of the side flaps and front tabs. No tape, staples, or adhesive are required to build or seal the box.

Always measure using the inner dimensions to ensure your product fits inside. State your dimensions as Length x Width x Depth, measuring from the inner crease lines. To guarantee a perfect fit, we recommend leaving 1/8 inch of clearance space on all sides of your product.
