Express Mailer Bag
The express mailer is the default pack for an online clothing order. It has to survive a sorting belt, stay closed in the rain, and still look like it came from your brand rather than from a wholesaler.

How It Compares With The Alternatives
Compared With Composite mailer
A composite bag has a lined structure and protects better. An express mailer is lighter and cheaper for soft goods.
Compared With Folded paper box
A box protects rigid items and stages the unboxing. A mailer is faster to pack and cheaper to ship.
How To Order This Well
- Work out two or three sizes that cover most of your orders
- Tell us the heaviest order so the film thickness is right
- Decide on a returns strip before artwork is finalised
- Drop-test the sample loaded before approving bulk
Express Mailer Bag Questions
How many mailer sizes should we stock?
Two or three usually covers a clothing range. Fewer wastes film, more slows the packing bench.
Can the bag be resealed for returns?
Yes, with a second adhesive strip. Tell us if you accept returns and we will include it.
Will the contents show through?
An opaque film is standard on these. Tell us if you need extra opacity for high value goods.
Can we print on both sides?
Yes. Send artwork for each face.
