TerraBoard vs Boxes

alt="Infographic

Why Choose TerraBoard Shipping Envelopes Over Boxes?

Boxes are sturdy, but they’re often overbuilt, heavy, and costly to ship when you’re sending soft goods, apparel, books, or flat items. TerraBoard envelopes offer a lightweight, eco-friendly, and cost-effective alternative. By switching from corrugated boxes to TerraBoard mailers, businesses save on materials, shipping weight, storage space, and labor.



Key Savings Advantages

  • Lower Materials: No tape, fillers, or void packing required.
  • Reduced Weight: Slim mailers weigh less, lowering postage.
  • Dimensional Weight Savings: Slim profile avoids higher DIM categories.
  • Faster Fulfillment: Less labor vs folding and taping boxes.
  • Storage Savings: Flat mailers use up to 80% less warehouse space.
  • Eco-Friendly Appeal: Sustainable and recyclable, good for customer loyalty.


Example Savings

Apparel Shipping: Saved 30% per order by reducing weight and size category.

Book Orders: Cut $0.50–$1.25 in postage per shipment by using flat TerraBoard instead of boxes with filler.

Subscription Mailers: Reduced labor by 40% with faster packing and flatter storage.



When to Use Boxes Instead

  • Fragile, heavy, or multi-item shipments
  • Orders requiring maximum rigidity or protection
  • Large/bulk shipments beyond TerraBoard’s expansion capacity
