Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

What are mailing bags?

Mailing bags, also known as postage mailing bags, are lightweight and waterproof packaging made from strong polythene. They are widely used for e-commerce shipments, clothing, and retail shipments where protection, speed, and cost-efficiency are important factors.

Are grey mailing bags strong enough for shipping?

Yes. At 50 micron thickness, our mailing bags are stronger and more durable than standard 40 micron bags which makes them much more tear and puncture resistant. The waterproof material makes them ideal for shipping all around the world and peel and seal ensures the contents remain secure and tamper evident for deliveries.

Can mailing bags be used for clothing?

Absolutely. Our grey mailing bags are widely used as clothing mailer/postal bags. They are lightweight, protective, waterproof, and ideal for fashion retailers and e-commerce businesses sending garments directly to customers.

Are grey mailing bags recyclable?

Yes, our grey mailing bags are made from LDPE material with recycled content which makes them 100% recyclable as long as they are clean and free from labels and tape (the leftover glue can complicate the recycling process).

Most UK supermarkets have a soft plastics recycling stream and in-store collection bins (e.g. Tesco, Sainsbury’s, M&S, Morrisons etc.).

What are the advantages of using mailing bags over boxes?

  • Lightweight: helps reduce postage costs.
  • Waterproof: protects goods from rain or moisture.
  • Space saving: supplied flat-packed and easy to store.
  • Cost-effective: cheaper than cardboard boxes for many products. Both on individual unit cost and shipping costs.
  • Discreet: solid grey material keeps contents private.

Do you sell mailing bags in bulk?

Yes. We offer bulk discounts, making it cost-effective to order larger quantities. Whether you need a few packs or wholesale volumes, we supply at competitive prices with next-day UK delivery.

Which products are best used for mailing bags?

Our grey postage mailing bags are perfect for:

  • Clothing and textiles (clothing mailer bags / clothing postal bags).
  • Books, catalogues, and magazines.
  • Shoes and accessories.
  • Lightweight e-commerce orders.
  • Non-fragile goods that don’t require boxes.

How do I seal mailing bags?

All of our grey mailing bags come with a self-seal adhesive strip on the flip (40mm or 50mm, depending on the size). Simply peel and press for a secure seal – no extra tape required.
