Packaging format
Custom Poly Mailers
A custom poly mailer is a lightweight printed shipping bag made from plastic film with a peel-and-seal closure, used for apparel and soft goods because it cuts dimensional weight charges compared with a box.

Poly Mailers
The cheapest way to ship soft goods with your brand on it.
Poly mailers exist to solve one problem: shipping soft goods without paying for air. A box charges you for its empty corners. A mailer collapses to the shape of the garment, so the parcel is lighter and smaller, and carriers bill on dimensional weight as well as actual weight.
For a high-volume apparel brand that is often the single largest packaging saving available, and it does not cost you the brand moment. A printed mailer, a printed tissue and a sticker carry most of what a box would.
Soft goods do not need crush protection, so a mailer is the wrong choice for anything rigid or fragile. Glass, electronics and candles belong in a mailer box or shipping box instead.
Finishes & upgrades
Ways to upgrade your poly mailers
Every option below is quoted per unit against your run size, so you can see exactly what each one costs before committing.
Double adhesive strip
A second sealing strip so the same mailer can be resealed for returns. Removes a common friction point for apparel.
Tear strip opening
A perforated strip that lets the customer open the mailer cleanly without a blade or scissors.
Custom pattern print
An all-over pattern rather than a single logo, which makes the parcel recognisable before it is opened.

Industries using poly mailers
Poly Mailers, answered
Do poly mailers really reduce shipping cost?
For soft goods, substantially. Carriers bill on dimensional weight as well as actual weight, and a mailer that compresses to the shape of its contents avoids paying for air. Apparel brands typically see the largest saving.
What is the minimum order for custom poly mailers?
100 units. Flexible film printing needs a longer press setup than our box formats, which is why the minimum is higher than 50.
Are poly mailers recyclable?
Plastic film is not accepted in most kerbside collections, but it can often be returned to store drop-off collection points. Recycled-content film reduces the material footprint. We will tell you what a given film can and cannot claim.
