This is an excellent choice for adding your logo or website to the poly mailer.
Minimum quantities can start at as little as However, there are limitations. Typically post production can only produce single color designs while edge-to-edge printing and reverse-out designs are extremely challenging. To learn more about EcoEncloses custom print service for our recycled mailers, head over to our custom packaging page.
We offer both small batch post-production and large batch pre-production services. We're glad you asked! At 25, or more poly mailers your options expand significantly as we can dedicate a custom production run just for you. This means - custom sizes and features, multi-color prints, full bleed prints, and lower pricing.

Also a great question! We have a research-based sustainability framework to help us evaluate different packaging options and determine what solutions to pursue. Our framework heavily prioritizes circularity recycled, recyclable, and reusable , lowering greenhouse gas emissions, and avoiding composting as an end of life situation for ecommerce packaging. Through this framework, we've determined that the currently viable bioplastic materials - corn-based PLA - does not meet our ecological standards.
Corn is highly degenerative to produce and PLA is destined for compost rather than recycling. Additionally, paper packaging is naturally biodegradable. On the chance it ends up as litter, it would decompose within two months with much less harm to the planet than plastic counterparts. A company that is committed to going plastic-free would likely go with paper.
A company committed to lowering greenhouse gas emissions or needs a more budget-friendly sustainable option is likely to go with poly. Read more to help you choose between paper and plastic here. There are a few things to keep in mind when selecting the right brand and style for your polymailer needs. Durability or strength: Unlike corrugated materials, where materials are labeled with ECT for "edge crush test" to clarify its strength, there are no universally accepted definitions of poly mailer strength.
Characteristics that make a poly mailer stronger and more durable include its thickness, the number of layers used in the manufacturing process, and how the sides and bottom were sealed. As we have found with many things in life, you get what you pay for. Lower cost mailers are often thinner and may have poor sealing or low quality adhesive. Often the difference between quality and something else, is less than 0.
Either way, we highly recommend ordering samples or starting small with any shipping supplies so you can touch and test them before you entrust them to protect your high quality products throughout their journey! Tear strip: A tear strip ensures your customer can easily open the bag, without having to mangle and poke holes in it to get what they ordered.
Tear strips also make it easy for customers to reuse their bag once. Release liner: The release liner is the thing you peel off the adhesive on the bag. When you are packing up many orders at a time, you want this to be as seamless as possible and you want to avoid static filled liners that cling to you, to packages or to the floor! Bottom: Some poly mailers have "gusseted" bottoms and some like ours do not. We have found that most products don't need gusseted bottoms; however, very bulky items such as thick quilts or shoe boxes may benefit from this style.
Dual peel and seal: More and more customers are seeking an online shopping experience in which returns are simple! Dual peel and seal bags have two adhesives - the first for when you pack your order and the second for your customer, if they need to return their item in this same bag. These "returnable bags" go a long way in helping to retain loyalty among customers who need to send back their goods for any reason.
Tamper evident: All poly mailers are inherently "tamper evident" but those with strong adhesives that cannot be opened and then resealed ensure that your customer knows if someone tampered with their package between shipment and delivery. This helps ensure you can get to the bottom of issues such as missing or damaged items. Three characteristics - Size, Sustainability and Price - are so important that we've dedicated entire sections to each of them so read on for more information!
Here's a handy recommended sizing chart to get you started, using the poly mailer sizes that EcoEnclose stocks. Other companies may carry different sizes, but this guidance should still be a helpful baseline. That said, this is not an exact science! As you can imagine, an extra small t-shirt versus a XXL may need different mailer sizes.
You may find it helpful to order a sample first and ensure the size meets your needs! By definition, poly mailers are typically made of polyethylene — the most common plastic which is used primarily in packaging and bags. Polyethylene is almost always made from oil and natural gas — two nonrenewable resources. Before you write off poly mailers as environmental villains, we want to share a few things you should consider.
First, the battle between paper and plastic is not black and white. While paper is made from renewable and often, recycled materials, plastic does have some advantages. Plastic is typically more energy efficient to produce and to recycle than paper. Plastic mailers are also lighter than their paper counterparts, so shipping is more energy efficient. So yes, you can be an eco-friendly business and decide to ship in poly mailers — and come to that decision thoughtfully!
And if you have decided that poly mailers are the best shipping option for your business, there are environmentally responsible options for you! Our mailers are also recyclable. Depending on your curbside recycling program, they can either be recycled residentially, or at your local grocery store that accepts plastic bags most of them do!
There are also biodegradable poly mailers available, typically made of ethanol produced from renewable resources such as sugarcane or corn. Biodegradable polyethylene is a very exciting innovation in the materials industry. Thus far, EcoEnclose has decided not to focus on biodegradable poly mailers for a few reasons. The main reason is that we typically prioritize recycled content over virgin content whenever possible. We seek to first use materials that are already produced and in the supply chain whenever possible, and look for goods made with renewable resources as a second option when recycled content is not viable.
The second is that the crops that are used for biodegradable polyethylene typically require a large amount of resources including fossil fuels to produce, and are often produced in ways that degrade water and soil. In a landfill, biodegradable goods are exactly the same as any other plastic, because landfills are designed to be air tight and prevent biodegradation. Again, we need to reiterate that we are very excited about innovations in biodegradable materials development and see a lot of possibility in this space!
If you choose biodegradable options for your business — kudos for making such a thoughtful choice! We strongly encourage you to promote your choices to consumers and help ensure their bags are composted and do not end up in the landfill.
As described above, poly mailers can typically be reused at least once when they have a tear strip, which allows recipients to open their packages easily without having to mangle or poke holes in the bag to get their goods. Even without a second adhesive strip, bags can typically be reused simply by folding them over and taping them down. Why would you reuse poly mailers?
The first and most common scenario is for returns. Customers frequently order multiple items online with the intent to return some based on color, fit, style, etc. Making it very easy for them to do so will be a huge bonus for your brand and the customer experience. Showcase your commitment to minimizing waste by encouraging and making it easy for your customers to do so!
Many poly mailers are fully recyclable. What does that mean? These are considered "hard to recycle. They are loaded onto a conveyor belt for manual and then automated sorting. Paper and cardboard are separated first through a dedicated machine. Metals are then separated out by a magnet, and then an Eddy current rotor machine.
