If you send products “pre-packaged” and “ready to ship” then your products do not require a packaging mailer otherwise, we use a mailer to package and ship your products. Our overall goal is to choose a mailer that delivers your product without any damage and also helps you save postage/shipping costs.
We classify our mailers into a few different categories:

Shrink wrap a book:
The best-fit kraft mailer is always selected for packaging the various weights, shapes and sizes of books that are shipped daily.

Shrink wrapping a book is an efficient and cost effective way to protect your book’s cover from minor scratches and scuffs that sometimes occur during transit.
Acutrack can shrink wrap any book, no matter the size or weight. Please contact your account manager if this is something that you would like to add.
The cost of shrink wrapping is as follows:
- $0.25 per book for books 6” x 9” or smaller
- $0.45 per book for larger books
