Mailing Bags & Envelopes

There are a number of packaging options for getting customer orders to them safely and in one piece. Cardboard PiP boxes, envelopes and crash lock boxes can be an option, but if you’re sending items such as textiles that don’t need quite the same amount of protection, they can add extra costs to each order. For items such as clothing and bedding, polythene mail bags can be the most cost-effective packaging solution.

Our range of mail bags are available in a range of sizes, and are suitable for sending all kinds of items through the post. They’re a lightweight option that allows you to keep shipping costs to a minimum, and the seal and strength of the recycled plastic means that items will be kept completely free of moisture, water, and dust. Despite their lightweight nature, they’re incredibly durable, as well as being puncture and tear resistant – so they are suitable for sending internationally, as well as within the UK.

As you would expect, our range of polythene and paper bags is as environmentally responsible as we can make it, so you can feel good about the packaging materials you choose to buy from us. Our mail bags are made from 100% recycled LDPE that can be recycled again when the adhesive strip has been removed, and our garment bags contain a minimum of 30% recycled material. In addition to that, we’ve also developed a fully compostable mail bag that will impress your customers.

Mailing Bags & Envelopes

There are a number of packaging options for getting customer orders to them safely and in one piece. Cardboard PiP boxes, envelopes and crash lock boxes can be an option, but if you’re sending items such as textiles that don’t need quite the same amount of protection, they can add extra costs to each order. For items such as clothing and bedding, polythene mail bags can be the most cost-effective packaging solution.

Our range of mail bags are available in a range of sizes, and are suitable for sending all kinds of items through the post. They’re a lightweight option that allows you to keep shipping costs to a minimum, and the seal and strength of the recycled plastic means that items will be kept completely free of moisture, water, and dust. Despite their lightweight nature, they’re incredibly durable, as well as being puncture and tear resistant – so they are suitable for sending internationally, as well as within the UK.

As you would expect, our range of polythene and paper bags is as environmentally responsible as we can make it, so you can feel good about the packaging materials you choose to buy from us. Our mail bags are made from 100% recycled LDPE that can be recycled again when the adhesive strip has been removed, and our garment bags contain a minimum of 30% recycled material. In addition to that, we’ve also developed a fully compostable mail bag that will impress your customers.

What is a standard mailing bag?

Our standard polythene bags are our best value mailing sacks, available in a large selection of sizes to suit a variety of products and purposes. The 55 micron thick grey material grants a reasonable degree of strength while remaining very lightweight to minimise postal costs. Your postage and packing outgoings can be accurately calculated thanks to the sizing table which corresponds with Royal Mail’s PiP guidelines. Intuitive practicality is embedded into the design with the 40mm lip that includes a peel-&-seal strip. This feature eliminates the need for tape, simplifying the whole packing process for increased efficiency and ease. These qualities are indispensable within a busy dispatch operation, promoting the fast functioning of an ecommerce business. Moreover, tape dispensers or cutting tools can be removed from a pack station, aiding organisation. To display delivery information, these standard mailing bags are commonly purchased with items from our comprehensive range of multi-purpose labels. Are the polythene bags eco-friendly? The grey polythene is made from recycled materials, making it a low-cost and environmentally friendly option. The extremely light weight further promotes the protection of our planet as it means that more parcels can be loaded onto a single vehicle, hence economising that space and reducing the overall carbon footprint of the process. It is worth noting that, as a result of the recycled content, the shade of grey may vary slightly from the images. Can you reuse a mailing bag? These plastic mailing bags are made with a minimum amount of recycled material to suit their single-use purpose and hence, are not designed for reuse. However, there is nothing stopping a customer from reusing a grey mailing bag if it retains its high quality condition. What are grey mailing bags used for? Thanks to the wide range of sizes supplied by Kite, the standard postal pouches can carry a broad selection of products, making them suitable for various industries. The large letter sizes are perfect for sending out clothing, literature or textiles while the larger parcels are typically used for bulky or boxed items. The opaque exterior renders the envelopes suitable for sending out confidential materials too. A polythene mailing sack is a great universal product with a variety of uses, making it an ideal versatile resource for companies sending out a range of different items. The flat-pack and ultra-thin arrival aids this end by conserving warehouse space. recycling code 4 Click here for our recycling guide
