Extra Strong Bubble Envelopes

Bubble mailers provide good, lightweight protection that is suitable for a range of flat and low-profile products that need to be sent via post.

An example of products that will fit Macfarlane Packaging’s range of bubble lined envelopes includes:

• Video Games
• Magazines
• CDs
• Calendars
• Clothing

Bubble envelopes work by combining the protective features of a padded interior with the outer durability of an envelope. The interior is lined with a layer of bubble wrap, which acts as cushioning. This inner layer helps absorb impacts and protects contents from bumps, drops and vibrations during transit, reducing the risk of damage.

Most bubble mailers include a peel and stick strip for easy closure, as well as a tear strip for easy opening.

At Macfarlane Packaging, we primarily offer Mail Lite bubble mailers, which provide exceptional quality. We can also provide Jiffy bags and Arofol equivalents on request.

Extra strong bubble envelopes are designed with reinforced material and an inner layer of bubble wrap to provide enhanced protection during shipping. They offer greater durability and cushioning than standard bubble envelopes.

Our extra strong bubble envelopes are perfect for carrying heavier goods as they are able to withstand more weight.

Our extra strong bubble envelopes are also perfect for shipping fragile or valuable items such as jewellery, electronics and cosmetics.

The recyclability of extra strong bubble envelopes can vary depending on the specific materials used in their construction. Bubble envelopes often consist of a combination of materials, including paper, plastic and bubble wrap, that must be separated before they can be recycled.

Here’s how recyclability typically works for these components:

• Paper: The outer layer of some bubble envelopes is made of paper, which is generally recyclable. However, this depends on the specific requirements of your recycling service provider. Some recycling service providers may accept paper envelopes with plastic bubble lining, while others may not. It is essential to check to determine whether these paper-based bubble envelopes can be recycled.


• Plastic: The bubble lining in bubble envelopes is typically made of plastic, usually polyethylene. This type of plastic may not be accepted in standard kerbside recycling programs because it is a low-density plastic. However, some recycling centres may accept it through specialised plastic film recycling programs. Again, it is crucial to check with your recycling service provider or local recycling centre for guidance on recycling plastic bubble wrap.

All Macfarlane Packaging bubble mailers already include some recycled content. Additionally, Macfarlane Packaging also offers eco-friendly and easily recycled alternatives.

Bubble envelopes are also commonly referred to by several other names. Some of the alternative names for bubble envelopes include:

• Bubble mailers
• Padded mailers
• Bubble-lined envelopes
• Bubble wrap mailers
• Bubble bags
• Cushioned mailers
• Protective mailers
• Bubble-padded envelopes

Postal rates can vary based on several factors, including the size, weight and destination of your mail. It is essential to check with Royal Mail or the postal service you plan to use for the most up-to-date and accurate information on postage rates for bubble envelopes.

Rates also differ based on the class of service you choose (e.g., First Class, Second Class, Next Day, Signed For) and whether you are sending domestically or internationally. Additionally, business customers may have different rates than individual consumers.
