Custom Poly Mailer Bags

What are Custom Poly Mailers?

Custom poly mailers are custom shipping bags built to protect and provide branding and delivery efficiency for non-fragile products, like clothing, non-perishable food items, and other products that require little to no special handling. Poly mailers are made from either bio-polymer material or polyethylene (HDPE, LDPE) films. They typically come with self-sealing adhesive closures that provide a secure package for packages shipped via a parcel carrier (e.g., FedEx).

Clothing, Accessories, and Other Non-Fragile Product Packaging

Non-fragile products need flexible yet durable packaging that will protect them from water, dirt, and tearing. Custom poly mailers are made from high-density and lower-density polyethylene (HDPE/L) films using the best engineering principles available and work together with other products and shipping processes to minimize dimensional weight and keep products from shifting or falling out of packaging during shipment.

Shipping Optimization for E-commerce To Grow DTC

Custom-designed poly mailers specifically meet the needs of those companies who plan to ship directly to the customer (DTC), are sending through third-party logistic companies (3PL), and are using private label/branding (B2C or subscription-based shipping). The reduction in size or profile of the smaller, lighter-weight packages that allows for a lower cost to the retailer and more efficient use of labor in fulfillment and warehousing.

Product Protection & Brand Marketing

Poly mailers offer an excellent trade-off between product protection and brand presentation. The durability and versatility of a Poly Mailer offer customers the ability to send their products in a water-resistant package with tear-resistant construction while also providing an ample amount of space for branding and marketing. Custom printing on poly mailer bags are a preferred option for enhancing the unboxing experience.

Influencer Kits, PR & Gifts

In addition to the overall quality and professional presentation of custom printed poly mailers for influencer kits, PR and gifting, they can be used as an effective way to support a marketing campaign by using custom branding to represent the business professionally, while at the same time providing a low-cost shipping option to protect the product during shipping. The three key elements necessary for successful shipping are: durability, the branding impact, and the cost-effective method to ship the product.
