For non-Flat Rate Priority Mail, you can use any box or packaging that meets the size and weight requirements.
How to choose the right packaging for your shipment?
To choose the right packaging for your USPS shipment, you need to consider the size, shape, and fragility of your item, as well as the shipping service you’re using. Select a sturdy box or container that’s appropriately sized for your item, leaving enough space for cushioning material. Ensure the packaging is strong enough to withstand handling during transit and consider using extra services like insurance or tracking for added security.
