A Recycled Poly Mailer is a lightweight, custom-printed shipping bag made from recycled poly film, built for apparel, soft goods, and e-commerce brands that mail non-fragile items. It seals fast and ships flat to keep postage low.
Because the film is thin and flexible, you cut dimensional weight and pay less per parcel, while the self-seal adhesive strip lets your fulfillment team pack orders in seconds with no tape. Full-color printing turns a plain bag into a branded touchpoint, so a clothing label can ship a folded tee in a mailer that looks as considered as the garment inside.

Poly Mailer Gauges and Order Depth
Gauge is the whole conversation. Lighter film suits soft goods and keeps postage down, while heavier film such as a five mil structure resists puncture from boxed or angular items. Recycled content changes film appearance slightly and can shift seal settings, so a trial on your own sealer or adhesive strip is worth doing before a large commitment.
| Mailers | Parcel film guidance |
|---|---|
| 50 | Puncture trials across your most awkward items. |
| 500 | A month of shipments for a small store. |
| 1,000 | Two gauges split between soft and rigid goods. |
| 5,000 | Print plates cease to matter against the film cost. |
| 10,000+ | Fulfillment center supply from about $0.44 per unit at volume. |
Two lanes shape the timeline here: extrusion and printing kept domestic may wrap in about 7 business days, specialty imported recycled film can need about 12 weeks, both read as planning ranges, not guarantees. A digital proof of the printed film layout is approved beforehand. Send mailer dimensions, film gauge, recycled content target, and monthly shipment count.
