The 29 approved products, each answering one question.

29
  • 6x9 Poly MailersThe smallest size most brands keep in stock, sized around single small items rather than folded garments.
  • 9x12 Poly MailersThe single-garment size — one folded item with enough slack to seal without strain.
  • 10x13 Poly MailersThe most-ordered apparel size, and the one most brands standardise on when they want to carry a single SKU.
  • 12x15 Poly MailersThe step up from apparel standard — knitwear, bundles and orders that stopped fitting a 10x13.
  • 14.5x19 Poly MailersThe outerwear size — hoodies, jackets and three-garment orders that flatten out rather than bulge.
  • 19x24 Poly MailersA consolidation size — several garments, bedding, or a wholesale drop travelling as one parcel.
  • 24x24 Poly MailersSquare format for soft goods that resist folding into a rectangle — cushions, quilts, bulk textiles.
  • Large Poly MailersA decision page for buyers who know they need something big but have not chosen which big.
  • Small Poly MailersA decision page for the small end of the range, where shipping bands matter as much as fit.
  • Pink Poly MailersSaturated, high-visibility pinks — the retail and promotional end of the colour range.
  • Light Pink Poly MailersBlush, nude and pastel pinks — quieter tones for boutique, beauty and considered brand palettes.
  • Colored Poly MailersThe mixed-colour page — selecting across the range, running several tones, and how matching works.
  • White Poly MailersThe baseline colour — widest print latitude, lowest cost, and the one that shows handling marks most.
  • Black Poly MailersFull opacity, marks that do not show, and a surface that only a narrow set of inks will read on.
  • Blank Poly MailersUnprinted stock across the colour range, and the argument for staying unprinted longer than you think.
  • Custom Poly MailersA printed run to your artwork — the page for buyers who have decided to print and want to know what happens next.
  • Economy Poly MailersA cost-led specification for high volume — and an honest account of what the saving costs you.
  • Custom Frosted Poly BagsA translucent zip-closure garment bag — presentation and reuse rather than shipping.
  • Recycled Poly MailersRecycled feedstock — where the film came from, and how to verify what you are told about it.
  • Compostable Poly MailersAn end-of-life route that only works if the route exists — what to check before you promise it to customers.
  • Biodegradable Poly MailersThe least defined of the three terms, and the one that carries the most claim risk for the brand printing it.
  • Padded Poly MailersThe cushioning decision — which padded construction suits your contents, and when padding is not the answer.
  • Poly Bubble MailersA film outer bonded to a bubble lining — moisture resistance and impact protection in one bag.
  • Personalized Bubble MailersCustom print on a cushioned surface — what the texture does to artwork, and how to design around it.
  • Self-Seal Poly MailersThe closure itself — adhesive strips, tear tabs, tamper evidence and what each does at the packing bench.
  • Apparel Shipping BagsMailers specified around a garment operation — sizing by what you sell, not by the dimension list.
  • Bee Poly MailersA patterned mailer that works all year — how repeat artwork prints, and stock designs against your own.
  • Halloween Poly MailersA short, unforgiving window — how to size the run so you do not carry seasonal stock into November.
  • Christmas Poly MailersPeak-season packaging — planned around the busiest weeks of the year rather than around the design.
