Clothing Packaging

SR Mailing supplies a wide range of sustainable clothing packaging, suitable for the storage, fulfilment and shipping of garments across a range of order sizes. Whether you’re an independent brand or a large-scale e-commerce business, we have eco-friendly packaging for clothing that can support your sustainability goals, help reduce unnecessary material use and provide the protection your garments need.

Our Packaging Solutions

Clothing and fashion orders can have very different packaging requirements. While soft garments may only need lightweight protection during fulfilment and delivery, footwear, accessories and larger orders may require more robust packaging.

That’s why we supply clothing packaging for different products, order sizes and protection requirements, while helping businesses work towards their sustainability targets.

Recycled Products | SR Mailing Eco Friendly Packaging Solutions

Recycled Mailing Bags

Our recycled mailing bags are the ideal lightweight option for shipping clothing and soft goods. Made from 100% recycled LDPE, our mailing bags are available in several sizes to suit different garments and order sizes. They are ideal for protecting garments without adding the weight of a cardboard box, which helps keep postage and fulfilment costs down. Our range includes coloured mailing bags and clear garment bags, all designed to protect clothing and featuring a strong adhesive seal for secure shipping.

Types of Sustainable Clothing Packaging

There is a high demand for businesses to reduce unnecessary packaging and plastic. For over a decade, SR Mailing has supplied clothing packaging that supports green initiatives. As a certified B Corp business, we are here to help your business reduce harmful packaging without compromising protection. We supply packaging that’s made from verified recycled materials and FSC-certified paper, as well as compostable options, delivering a range of sustainable packaging options for your garments and stages of order fulfilment.

Recyclable

Recyclable clothing packaging is designed to enter established recycling streams after use. Options include recycled grey mailing bags, coloured mailing bags and kraft paper mailing bags, giving businesses a choice of materials to suit different garments and fulfilment requirements.

Compostable

Compostable mailing bags offer a lightweight option for sending clothing orders while providing an alternative to conventional plastic mailers. Unlike recyclable packaging, which is processed into new materials, compostable packaging is designed to break down under specified composting conditions. Our range is suitable for home composting and can be biodegraded into organic fertiliser.

Plastic-Free

Go plastic-free with your clothing packaging by using options such as our kraft paper mailing bags and cardboard boxes. The right choice will depend on the garment, delivery method and level of protection required, ensuring sustainability does not come at the expense of protecting the order in transit.

How to Make Your Clothing Packaging More Sustainable

Each clothing and e-commerce business is different. From the product range, item sizes, fulfilment processes and customer requirements, choosing the right packaging can be challenging, especially when businesses are looking for more sustainable solutions. It’s more than just swapping one packaging material for another.

Use Recycled Materials

Packaging made with recycled content can help reduce the demand for virgin materials while still providing the protection needed for clothing orders. Look at both the recycled content of the packaging and whether it can be recycled again after use.

Reduce Unnecessary Packaging

Keep packaging proportionate to the order. Smaller mailers, fewer layers and removing unnecessary inner packaging can reduce material use without compromising how well garments are protected during fulfilment and delivery. Many soft garments require less protective packaging than fragile products, so you can save on packaging costs, avoid unnecessary layers of void fill and only use protective packaging where it’s actually needed.

Consider End-of-Life Disposal

Think beyond the material itself and consider what customers can realistically do with the packaging once their order arrives. Clear disposal guidance, which can be printed on our range of sustainable clothing packaging, makes recyclable or compostable packaging easier to deal with correctly.

Consider Plastic-Free Alternatives

Paper mailing bags and cardboard boxes can provide a plastic-free option for suitable clothing orders. The best choice should still account for durability, protection and the conditions the parcel may encounter in transit.

FAQs

What packaging is best for clothes?

The best packaging depends on the type of garment, the size of the order and the level of protection required. Mailing bags are often suitable for lightweight clothing, while boxes may be better for larger orders or garments needing additional protection.

What is the most sustainable packaging for clothing?

There is no single option that is always the most sustainable. Consider factors such as recycled content, recyclability, the amount of material used and how easily the packaging can be disposed of responsibly after use.

How should I package clothes for shipping?

Use packaging that fits the order closely, keeps garments clean and protected, and can be securely sealed for transit. Avoid unnecessary layers or oversized packaging where they do not provide any additional benefits.

What packaging is best for an online clothing business?

The right packaging will depend on your order volumes, garment range, branding requirements and fulfilment process. Sustainability goals should also be considered alongside practical factors such as protection, storage and ease of picking.
