Switching to a paper mailing bag not only removes plastic from your operation but improves the kerbside recyclability of your postal packaging too. Made from a renewable source, paper mailing bags are still lightweight and durable.
Both plastic and paper mailing bags are lightweight, sealable mailing sacks. Paper typically is easier to recycle at kerbside than plastic, which may require drop-off in bag collection at larger supermarkets to be recycled. If you need a more water-resistant option to protect your items from moisture, plastic mailing bags may be a better choice for you.
The right size of a mailing bag will depend on the dimensions of your product. Your postage bag should be large enough to comfortably fit your item, with sufficient room for sealing.
A postage bag that is too small will not provide adequate protection, as it is prone to tearing during transit. Conversely, a bag that is overly large can also result in damage, as the contents are free to shift around. Additionally, unnecessary shipping costs may increase with a larger parcel size.
