100% Recycled Padded Mailers
There is no denying the earthy appeal of EcoEnclose 100% Recycled Padded Mailers. Upcycled newspaper is matted into a layer of cushioning, then sandwiched between two layers of recycled Kraft paper. Once used, it is readily curbside recycled. The result: an irrefutably eco-friendly cushioned mailer.

When are Padded Mailers better than corrugated shipping boxes? When are shipping boxes better?
Many ecommerce businesses are shifting from boxes to mailers, and when they make this switch, they often find that protective mailers - like padded mailers and bubble mailers - are their best bet.What is the padded mailer cushioning made out of? what about the tear strip?
Padded mailers are made with two layers of 100% recycled (all post industrial waste) kraft paper that sandwich a layer of macerated newsprint. This recycled newsprint is collected from local recyclers, and shredded right on the same site where the mailers are made.
The Padded Mailer features a tear strip that is made out of plastic. While we recommend against composting any ecommerce packaging (recycling is far better for the environment), we know these mailers are technically compostable as long as the red plastic tear strip i removed. While we hope to transition this tear strip to a non-plastic but equally sturdy material over time, we recognize how important this tear strip is to the overall functionality of the mailer as it allows a recipient to easily open the mailer without getting into the macerated paper layer.
Should I consider custom branded mailers? What are my options for custom branded padded mailers?
Yes! We think padded mailers look gorgeous when they are custom branded. When you work with EcoEnclose, you have the option to customize these protective mailers for quantities as low as 500. In fact, for certain colors and designs, the minimums start at just 250!What size padded mailer should I go with?
We offer five different padded mailer sizes! How to best match our padded mailer with your outbound orders? First, lay the item(s) you need to ship on a table and measure an “imaginary boundary” around it to get the length, width and height. Add a fitting allowance around these dimensions. If you want a snug fit, add 0.125 to the length and width for boxes, and 0.25 for mailers. If your item is thick (0.125" or more) and add at least 0.5 to your dimensions. Map these dimensions, with the cushioning included, to one of our five padded mailer sizes, rounding up (not down!). If you're unsure, we strongly recommend ordering free samples so you can feel, fit and test before you place your full order.
