You will likely already be aware of the Pricing in Proportion (PiP) format that is used by Royal Mail to determine how much each size of package costs to send, as well as the weight of the package. In order to minimise your costs when sending packages through Royal Mail, you need packaging solutions that are suited to the Large Letter, Small Parcel, and Medium Parcel sizes readily available in your packing area. For items that need a little more protection during delivery, our range of Large Letter PiP boxes are ideal – with different shapes and sizes that fit within the dimensions set by Royal Mail.
In practical terms, Large Letter PiP boxes are perfect for protecting fragile items. Their rigid design provides much more protection than a polythene mail bag, and they are lightweight, so they won’t add unnecessary weight to the package. In addition, they are quick to assemble, and are easy to secure, so they won’t add time to the packing process. Delivered flat pack for assembly when they are required, they can be stored neatly too.
Cardboard mail boxes look professional, and are a great way to show your customers that you care about having sustainable packaging solutions, since they are infinitely recyclable. Each of our cardboard Large Letter PiP boxes is made from 100% recycled corrugated paper – and when the box has reached the customer, it can be disposed of in household recycling, or because they are also biodegradable, they can be added to compost waste.

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, 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.
