Poly Mailers

Poly mailers are lightweight, white plastic shipping bags with a self-seal closure, the low-cost way to ship apparel and soft goods without a box. Ours are 2.5 mil co-extruded polyethylene, white outside and silver-gray inside for privacy, water resistant and tamper-evident, in sizes from 6" x 9" to 26" x 28". Choose perforated, non-perforated, returnable or expandable, sold by the case for wholesale and bulk buyers with volume pricing.

Poly Mailer Sizes and Styles

Which Poly Mailer Style?

  • Perforated: a tear strip below the seal so customers open them easily
  • Non-perforated: no tear strip, for maximum durability in transit
  • Returnable: two adhesive strips, so customers reuse the same mailer to send a return
  • Expandable: a bottom gusset that expands for bulkier items like boxed shoes, sweaters and bedding

How to Choose a Poly Mailer Size

Poly mailers are listed as width x length. Choose a mailer an inch or two larger than the item each way so it lies flat and seals cleanly; for thicker items, add the item's thickness to both the width and the length, or go to an expandable mailer.

Common Poly Mailer Sizes

  • 6" x 9" to 10" x 13": t-shirts, accessories, jewelry, cosmetics, books and documents
  • 12" x 15.5" to 14.5" x 19": apparel, folded shirts and pants, linens
  • 19" x 24" and up: coats, bedding, comforters and bulky soft goods

Why Ship in Poly Mailers

Poly mailers weigh a fraction of a box, so they cut shipping costs on soft goods, take almost no storage space and need no tape. The co-extruded film is opaque for privacy, water resistant in transit and tamper-evident: once sealed, the mailer can't be opened without tearing.

Wholesale & Bulk Poly Mailers

Every poly mailer is sold by the case, 100 to 1,000 per case depending on size, with volume pricing on larger orders and free shipping on orders over $2,000. For ongoing or high-volume orders, request a quote.
