Packaging that
puts your brand
on every delivery
Printed plastic mailing bags are among the most popular options for custom postal packaging, delivering a reliable solution for e-commerce and retail shipping.
They offer a blank canvas for branding, allowing you to display your logo, convey your message, and enhance the customer opening experience.
Online clothing retailers frequently use printed mailing bags to dispatch products directly to customers, while many other businesses choose customised polythene mailing bags to encase product boxes as a simple, professional, and fully branded packaging solution.
Thanks to their lightweight design and strong materials, polythene mailing bags are also ideal for subscription boxes and repeat deliveries, helping to protect products in transit.
When designing and printing your mailing bags, you have many options to fit your brand and packaging needs.
You can choose from single-colour logo prints, full-colour creative designs, or intricate metallic print finishes and there are many ways to make your custom mailing bags stand out.
What makes us different is our readiness to take on a challenge. If you have a complicated idea for a custom mailing bag, our team will work closely with you to help make it happen.
We also provide several customisation options, such as extra glue lines for returns, freepost bag inserts, tamper-evident strips, and carry-handle mailing bags. This gives you more flexibility to create packaging that suits you and your business.
The minimum order quantity (MOQ) for printed polythene mailing bags is 500 units, giving you a practical starting point whether you’re trialling new packaging or growing an existing range.
Ordering larger quantities can help reduce your price per unit, making it a more cost-effective option for growing businesses and higher-volume requirements.
For larger runs of 10,000 units or more, we may be able to produce fully bespoke mailing bags designed to your specific needs, so if you’re considering a custom solution, we would be happy to discuss what’s possible.
If storage is a concern, we can offer stockholding and logistics management, allowing you to order in bulk whilst we store and dispatch your packaging as and when required.
Delivery times for our printed mailing bags vary depending on the size and complexity of your order.
For standard sizes and prints, printed mailing bags can typically be completed and delivered within 7 days. More bespoke mailing bags or complex print requirements may have lead times of up to 6 weeks.
If you choose to order larger quantities and use our stockholding and logistics management, delivery times are effectively reduced as your packaging has already been produced and stored with us, allowing you to call off stock as needed for faster dispatch.
Our printed polythene mailing bags are fully recyclable and can also be manufactured using 100% recycled plastic, helping your brand make even more sustainable packaging choices without affecting quality.
We also concentrate on practical design features that help your packaging go further. For example, we can include additional glue strips for returns, allowing customers to reuse the same mailing bag when sending items back, decreasing the need for extra packaging and supporting a more efficient and environmentally conscious returns process.

The minimum order quantity for a printed polythene mailing bag is 500. Orders below this quantity cost the same amount to produce, so are not cost-effective.
For standard orders, we can achieve delivery within 7 days. For more complex orders, it can take up to 6 weeks to complete delivery.
Sizes depend on the base bag colour choice. Our comprehensive polythene mailing bag size guide gives you a full overview of the sizes available.
Standard bag colours are black and white, but you can create custom-coloured bags by flood printing them for orders over 3,000 bags.
Mailing bags are perfect for small or malleable items that can fit within a smaller frame. They mean businesses can sell products online without packaging and sending their products in boxes — an inefficient use of space and thusly costlier option. Printed mailing bags take your postage packaging from being efficient to effective, extending the perceived value of the purchase experience and delivering your brand to your customers' doors. A printed mailing bag turns your e-commerce product from 'generic' to 'branded'.
All of our polythene mailing bags are recyclable, and we're also committed to using recycled polythene in the materials of our bags. Currently, polythene is not recyclable at home in the UK, so you will need to encourage your customers to take waste mail bags to local recycling points. These are typically found at large supermarkets.
No, polythene mailing bags are not biodegradable.
Yes, polythene materials can be used for food products. We recommend always packaging your food products in BRC-accredited food-safe packaging prior to inserting in a printed mailing bag for delivery.
Yes, polythene mailing bags can be printed on either both or just one side. Specify your ideal print configuration in our bag builder.
