What Is a Poly Mailer?

Poly mailer bags are envelopes made from plastic, making them lightweight yet sturdy. Most poly mailer envelopes are designed with a self-adhesive foldover lip, which means no tape is required when you pack your items in this envelope. However, some packing tape might be needed to attach shipping labels on poly mailers. Poly mailing envelopes are lighter than cardboard shipping boxes and take up less space. This means that you will save up on shipping fees when you choose poly mailers instead.

These bags are sturdier than regular paper mailers, as they tend to be more durable and they don’t rip easily. Polyethylene mailers are also water-resistant, giving them an extra safety advantage over regular mailers. Since most poly mailing bags can fit in mailboxes, your packages are less likely to be stolen, which makes poly mailers a more appealing choice.

Poly mailer envelopes are also customizable. You can print on them directly, stamp them and label them using your own custom branding. This makes them an ideal choice for smaller and local businesses. In addition, most of these mailers are recyclable and reusable to promote environmental sustainability.

What Can I Send in Poly Mailers?

Different types of shipped items will require different mailing materials. Poly mailer bags are typically used to ship items such as clothes, towels, bedding and similar non-fragile objects. Some poly mailers are equipped with gusseted bottoms that expand to make room for bulkier items like books, shoes or accessories. Other items that can be shipped in these mailers include documents and papers that don’t need entire boxes but still need some water damage protection. Poly mailers can also be used to send out smaller electronics, such as cell phones, earbuds and chargers.

Poly mailer bags have strong seams to ensure that the contents stay safe even if the envelope is packed over capacity. These envelopes provide a neat and professional way to pack and prepare your products for shipment.
