Keeping items safely wrapped and intact is a key concern for all eCommerce retailers – otherwise you face time-consuming, and potentially expensive customer service issues when customers complain that their order has arrived broken. Plastic bubble wraps have long been an industry favourite for their convenience, but in recent years we’ve seen a shift towards paper wrapping solutions. Even though our plastic bubble wrap is made from both recycled, and recyclable materials, there is absolutely no question that paper products are much more sustainable, and better for the planet. Both customers, and responsible business owners are demanding paper-based products, and with Amazon leading the way, we soon expect paper wrap to be as much in demand as plastic bubble wrap once was.
In terms of the planet, the benefits of switching to paper wraps are clear to be seen. Paper can be made from recycled products, and can be recycled again and again – as well as being completely biodegradable. And the great thing is that the majority of people know how to recycle paper products – and are already adding those products to their household recycling, or to their home compost bins.
You’re likely to be interested in the benefits to your business, as well as the environment. Well, paper wraps are inexpensive to switch to – particularly for budget products, like news offcut filler paper – as well as being simple to use, and taking up significantly less space in the packing area than plastic bubble wrap. With paper honeycomb wrap, you can also reduce the use of plastic tapes – offering both you and the planet more savings too.

What is a standard mailing bag?
Our standard polythene bags are our best value mailing sacks, available in a large selection of sizes to suit a
variety of products and purposes. The 55 micron thick grey material grants a reasonable degree of strength while
remaining very lightweight to minimise postal costs. Your postage and packing outgoings can be accurately calculated
thanks to the sizing table which corresponds with Royal Mail’s PiP guidelines.
Intuitive practicality is embedded into the design with the 40mm lip that includes a peel-&-seal strip. This feature
eliminates the need for tape, simplifying the whole packing process for increased efficiency and ease. These qualities
are indispensable within a busy dispatch operation, promoting the fast functioning of an ecommerce business. Moreover,
tape dispensers or cutting tools can be removed from a pack station, aiding organisation. To display delivery
information, these standard mailing bags are commonly purchased with items from our comprehensive range of
multi-purpose labels.
Are the polythene bags eco-friendly? The grey polythene is made from recycled materials, making it a low-cost and
environmentally friendly option. The extremely light weight further promotes the protection of our planet as it means
that more parcels can be loaded onto a single vehicle, hence economising that space and reducing the overall carbon
footprint of the process. It is worth noting that, as a result of the recycled content, the shade of grey may vary
slightly from the images.
Can you reuse a mailing bag? These plastic mailing bags are made with a minimum amount of recycled material to suit
their single-use purpose and hence, are not designed for reuse. However, there is nothing stopping a customer from
reusing a grey mailing bag if it retains its high quality condition.
What are grey mailing bags used for? Thanks to the wide range of sizes supplied by Kite, the standard postal pouches
can carry a broad selection of products, making them suitable for various industries. The large letter sizes are
perfect for sending out clothing, literature or textiles while the larger parcels are typically used for bulky or
boxed items. The opaque exterior renders the envelopes suitable for sending out confidential materials too.
A polythene mailing sack is a great universal product with a variety of uses, making it an ideal versatile resource
for companies sending out a range of different items. The flat-pack and ultra-thin arrival aids this end by conserving
warehouse space.
