If you have been selling for any length of time, you probably already know what size of poly mailers or bubble mailer you may need but for those with questions...let's dive in!
Poly mailers/ Bubble Mailers are a key ingredient of ecommerce. They are a lighter, safer way to ship your items. Think: When shipping, poly mailers/bubble mailers are the way to go because they are lighter, durable and moisture resistant. This is great when you think about rain, melting snow and soggy card board!
Rule # 1 Poly mailers are not bubble mailers. Bubble mailers are not poly mailers. Bubble mailers, like their name has bubble wrap material melded into the mailer. Poly mailers are made of durable polyethylene and have no bubble lining on the inside.
Size matters! Choosing the right size of mailer is very important. Always remember that the larger the bag, the more is costs. Ask yourself, Will it fit? Is it breakable? Here are some things to never ever ever use with a poly mailer/bubble mailer: Hats, breakables, papers and highly fragile items. Nobody wants a bag of smooshed up broken anything. Save on returns and angry customers by using the right shipping supplies at the right time. Some use poly mailers inside boxes and that is perfectly fine too. It is up to you to know your product and how it should be shipped. How you will ship it out should be considered before every purchase you make. You've got this!
