Bubble Envelopes

Bubble mailers provide good, lightweight protection suitable for a range of flat and low-profile products, including:

• 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.

Bubble envelopes come in lots of different sizes.

Macfarlane Packaging’s Mail Lite bubble envelopes are available in over 10 different sizes. This includes options for letters, large letters, small parcels and even medium parcel packages.

The size of our bubble mailers ranges from 110 x 160 mm being the smallest to 350 x 470 mm being the biggest, with plenty of sizes available in between.

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

All Macfarlane Packaging bubble mailers contain recycled content and as they’re Mail Lite brand bubble mailers, they have an easy-to-remove bubble inner, so you can easily recycle the outer paper envelope.

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