Frequently Asked Questions About Our Eco-Friendly Poly Mailers 

There are a lot of questions to ask when trying to determine what you’ll need to ship your products. We put together a quick FAQ below to help you answer some of the most common questions we receive. Of course, if you are actually thinking "what are poly mailers anyway?", check out our Definitive Guide to Poly Mailers or contact us.

What size poly mailer do I need?

This is one of the most common questions we receive as far as poly mailers are concerned. The best way to determine what size poly mailer (AKA poly shipping bags, poly mailer bags, plastic mailers or mailing bags) you’ll need is to layout the items you will be shipping on a table and measure the imaginary bounding box it would fit in. The two dimensions of your poly mailer would need to exceed the largest two dimensions of your bounding box plus a little extra room to compensate for the mailers expansion when it’s filled.

Once you have what you think is the perfect sized mailer, the next step is to order a complimentary sample of our poly mailers it test them. One of the worst feelings in the world is ordering everything you need to start shipping your product and finding out that what you thought was perfect is actually too small to ship your items. We want to avoid any issues with our poly mailer bags, so we definitely encourage people to use our samples!

 

As a frame of reference, we’ve put together a table of common items that are shipped in our mailers and listed the best size and mailer to ship them. You can find that table in our Definitive Guide to Poly Mailers.

How can I find custom poly mailers? 

 

 

Some important things to keep in mind when thinking about printed poly mailers with your brand:

• Prints are limited to one color.
• Artwork must remain within the artwork boundary. Edge to edge printing is not possible.
• Artwork must be in vector format. No .jpg, .png, or .tif files! For a clear explanation of what a vector is, look here!
• Please read our full list of mailer art specs and requirements prior to placing your order.
  

Even with these limitations, our customers produce stunning branded bags - find post-production printing inspiration here.

If you're not sure where to start, we can help! Learn more about EcoEnclose's custom packaging services here or Contact us today to get started. 

 

(These printing limitations go away if you are interested in large runs of at least 25,000 pieces. For more information on these options, submit a high volume custom quote here.)

When should I use poly mailers? 

Poly mailers are perfect for apparel and other fabric-based goods, as well as yarns and patterns. Poly mailer bags also work well for shoes and certain types of hats. We’ve seen them work well for boxed products that need to be shipped in another, outside layer (i.e. a shoebox, a small toy or a jewelry box). Ask yourself two questions. Is your product fragile? If no, then ask yourself, can the product fill out your poly mailer? If yes - then a poly mailer can work well for you. If your item is fragile, you might consider a shipping box instead.

 

If your products can’t fill a poly mailer out (think small jewelry item or a watch), then you might consider a box or a stiffer mailer such as our 100% Recycled Padded Mailer or 100% Recycled Rigid Mailer.

I'm looking for eco friendly poly mailers. What makes your poly mailers more sustainable than others?  

EcoEnclose has the only poly mailers on the market that are made with 100% recycled content, with 50% post-consumer waste. We love this because it means we’re giving new life to and creating a strong market for previously used plastic bags that would otherwise be landfill bound. Additionally, our mailers are also reusable and recyclable (for most households, these would be recycled at a standard grocery bag drop off location). To learn more about EcoEnclose's approach to eco friendly packaging, and the standards we have set for our product line, check out our Guide to Sustainable Packaging.

What do you mean by reusable poly mailers? How can your mailers be reused?

Poly mailers with only one adhesive strip and that don't feature a tear strip typically need to be destroyed in order to be opened.

 

Our poly mailers feature two seal strips and an easy to use tear strip, allowing your customers to neatly open their recycled mailers when they receive their order from you, and then use their mailer again (with the second seal strip!) for any returns, for another shipment, or to send poly film back to EcoEnclose for recycling. Learn more about how these mailers can be reused. 

 

Note that both of our 50% Recycled Bubble Mailers and our 100% Recycled Poly Mailers actually have two adhesive strips. Not only is the reusable mailer more sustainable, it can also help you build a seamless return experience for your customer. While we all hate returns, we also know that customers are far more likely to shop with your brand again if you've made their returns process as convenient as possible.  

I'm looking for recyclable poly mailers. How can your poly mailers be recycled? 

Our poly mailers are made with recycled content and are recyclable.

 

They are a #4 plastic which means they can’t be recycled in single stream recycling plants because the flimsy material gets caught up in their sorting equipment. You would recycle these the same way you would recycle grocery bags, typically by taking them to a grocery store that participates in the collecting and recycling of these plastics. You can use the zip code locator here: http://www.plasticfilmrecycling.org/ to find a participating store. Some curbside recycling programs can accept plastic bags so check with your waste management provider for more information.

 

We are also really excited about our Poly Film Take Back program! Your customers can simply stuff their EcoEnclose poly mailers full of plastic film and send this material back to EcoEnclose - we'll recycle it for them!
