Custom Poly Mailers.

2.5 mil is our standard gauge, and we go heavier for sharp-edged or dense contents that could puncture the film. The film is co-extruded, which gives it better tear resistance than a single-layer bag of similar weight.

Folded apparel ships fine in the standard gauge. Boxed shoes, hardware or anything with hard corners should go up a gauge.

Yes, we add a second adhesive strip below the first so the customer can use the same bag to send an item back. They open the mailer along the tear notch, then peel the second liner when a return is needed.

For apparel, where returns are common, we would include the second strip by default. It adds very little to the bag and saves the customer hunting for packaging.

The peel-and-seal adhesive bonds to the film so firmly that the bag can't be opened and closed again without visible damage. That makes interference in transit easy to spot.

Opaque film grades keep the contents out of view, which helps with higher-value items. The film is water-resistant as well, so the contents stay dry when a parcel is left out in the rain.

Standard poly mailers are not accepted in curbside recycling, and it's better to say so plainly on the bag. Film can go to store drop-off programmes where they exist.

We can make mailers with high post-consumer recycled content and print the percentage on the bag. Compostable films are available too, but they need industrial composting facilities that many customers don't have nearby.

Full-coverage print is standard, with a choice of matte, gloss or metallic finishes on the film. A white base under the ink keeps colours accurate, and all-over patterns or photographic designs both print well. Most mailers are printed on the outside only.

A specific disposal note or the recycled-content percentage can be printed alongside the branding, which gives customers something clear to act on.

Our most requested flat sizes are 10 × 13 in, 12 × 15.5 in and 14.5 × 19 in, measured as width by length before the flap. Size to the folded item plus a little room for the bag to close without straining the seal.

A snug bag keeps the parcel light and neat, and weight is the reason apparel brands use poly in the first place. An oversized bag creases and looks untidy on arrival.

You can order printed poly mailers from 500 bags. For a shop sending a couple of hundred orders a month, that's a few months of stock, and the bags store flat in very little space.

Keeping the same size and artwork makes a reorder straightforward, and design help on the first run is free.

Printed poly mailers take 7 to 10 business days to produce, with a 5 to 7 day rush service when you need them sooner. Samples are made in 5 to 7 business days, which lets you test the gauge and the seal on real products.

The sample charge is deducted from the production order, and shipping covers every state in the USA.
