Subscription Packaging & Mailing Bags

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.

The minimum order quantity for a paper mailing bag is 200. This does vary by size. For orders over 10,000 units, we can produce paper mailing bags in bespoke sizes.

It typically takes an average of 2-3 weeks to go from confirmation of your order to delivery of your paper mailing bags. This will depend on the complexity of the order.

The minimum order quantity for printed luxury mailing bags is 100 bags.

Smaller orders are typically delivered in 2-3 weeks, with larger orders taking up to 6 weeks. As these are made completely bespoke, the larger and more complex the order, the more time we may require for manufacturing.

We highly recommend our polythene printed mail bags for subscription products, as they tick every box for e-commerce brands. They're strong and durable, simple to use, and look great when printed, making them the ultimate mailing bag option. Paper mailing bags are fantastic, home recyclable and a great canvas for branding & messaging. They are more rigid, so a little less versatile than plastic, meaning they're not always ideal for every subscription product. Luxury mailing bags are the perfect way to add value to your purchase & delivery experience, but are more bespoke & complex, less recyclable, and typically less cost-effective. These bags are great for luxury & high-end brands & products, and make the perfect first impression, but are not applicable for every use case. For products that require more protection and perhaps a better 'unboxing experience', we recommend our printed mailing box range. These enable you to create something truly unique, providing a more special experience for your customers.

Yes, we can provide a stock holding service, and we recognise that this is important for subscription brands that need a constant flow of mailing packaging. We're here to be your partner and support your growth and operations, so just let us know how we can help with your specific requirements.

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'.

We have two standard sizes available for our paper mailing bags. 250 x 353+50mm lip + 50mm gusset. 260 x 410+50mm lip + 70mm gusset. 300 x 430+80mm lip + 100mm gusset complete with 2 adhesive seals and a tear-off strip. Our comprehensive paper mailing bag size guide gives you a full overview of the sizes available.

Our paper mailing bags are all brown kraft paper.

Our paper mailing bags are robust and can withstand the general day-to-day challenges of storage and transport. Ultimately, paper is more prone to tears or water damage than polythene. If you're looking for the strongest option to mitigate compromise, we recommend a polythene mailing bag.

Printed paper mailing bags are strong, durable, and ideal for a range of use cases. If you're sending small items, documents and even clothing, consider a paper mailing bag. With the addition of your print and branding, these bags are not only versatile but fully recyclable by your customers at home.

The great thing about a luxury mailing bag is that you have complete control over all customisation options, including the size. You can design a mailing bag that perfectly fits your product, and we can work with you on dimensions to make sure it's just right. Alternatively, we can run through standard sizes used for common mailing products such as clothes and documents, so give us a call to discuss your requirements. See our luxury mailing bag size guide for more information.

No other printed mailing bag option gives you the level of customisation, personalisation, or quality of material that a luxury mailing bag can. With this customisation, you're able to craft mail packaging that closely resembles your product and its packaging — an extension of the purchase experience. With luxury materials and additional features, you can create something that's unique, stylish, and robust.

Our printed mailing box sizes are all based on standard Royal Mail size specifications. From small letter-boxes, to a range of deeper boxes, and even book-wrap boxes in variances of A5, A4 and A3. View our printed mailing box size guide for more in-depth information on available sizes.

You can create your box in any colour and with any design. Our printing flexibility means we're able to custom print to any level of complexity, inside and outside the box, using either a solid colour or CMYK print technique. If you have a specific colour or design in mind, let us know!

Our printed mailing boxes are among the most robust mail packaging options and provide a greater level of protection against damage during transit than a mailing bag.

There's a lot of value in a printed mailing box. Compared to a mailing bag, a box provides a more premium feel and a level of robustness. There's also the element of the 'unboxing' experience that can only be achieved with a mailing box. With a printed mailing box, these additional positive experiences can be enhanced by a striking design and can help tie those positive emotional responses to your brand.

There are a wide variety of sizes available, meaning these bags are perfect for small accessories and trinkets, as well as large and bulky clothing items. For large orders, we can also create these bags in a bespoke size. Please see our bag builder for the full list of sizes available, and for more information on choosing the right size for your product, visit our zip-lock bag size guide.

These bags are built to protect products in transit. Made from LDPE, which is a durable, lightweight and water-resistant polymer that resists rips and tears, they're a great choice for protecting your product as well as showcasing your brand and messaging.

In competitive industries, branding and messaging are critical value-adding factors that can make a huge difference. Customers need to love your product, and that comes from their experience with it, including their entire purchase experience. In the age of digital commerce, customer touchpoints with your brand are limited, so all of your packaging needs to be consistent and impactful. Especially for garments and clothing where there is typically no other product packaging, printed frosted zip-lock bags are the best way to bring your brand to the forefront of the customer's experience with your product.

There are 4 standard sizes of tape, with widths ranging from 9mm-144mm and lengths between 66m and 1056m. For more specific information on sizes available, please call us to discuss your requirements.

The only factor that will affect the strength of your tape is the material you opt for. This is because paper tape is typically more tear-prone and can be susceptible to water damage simply due to the natural composition of paper as a material. Despite this, all of our printed packaging tape is made from high-quality materials, and whether you opt for paper or plastic tape, you'll be satisfied with both its functional robustness and engaging aesthetics.

A mailing bag's special feature is its versatility. There's always the right size bag, depending on material and form factor, for your product. There are more material options available for mailing bags, with plastic, paper and luxury options to choose from. Additional features, such as security strips and carry handles, can be added to plastic mailing bags. A mailing box is perhaps the best option for brands with bulkier products or those looking to create a unique unpackaging experience. Whereas a branded mailing bag can showcase your brand, a mailing box can be tailored to be a core part of your product experience. A mailing box is, however, larger and will likely incur higher costs in delivery. For some brands, a blend of both is a great way to create a lasting impression. We recommend approaching this with caution, as too much packaging can be problematic. However, if you're creating a truly unique mailing box, one that's a core part of your product packaging, a mailing bag can be a great way to protect this in transit. A blend of both bags and boxes can make your product stand out.

All of our polythene mailing bags are recyclable, and we're also committed to using recycled polythene in the materials of our bags.

A luxury mailing bag is an extension of your product and its packaging — it helps make a striking, value-adding first impression. Therefore, we put you in the driver's seat. You control the size, with the ability to make something that's snug for your product. You choose the finish — laminated or kraft paper. You decide the thickness, print and colour. And with options for additional, unique features, you can truly personalise your mailing bag to your exact requirements.

Yes, additional bag features will incur additional cost. Please feel free to ask us for a cost breakdown with your quote.

Yes, you can print on the outside of the mailing box, as well as the inside.

We offer a range of coloured print options; the most popular choice for a frosted zip-lock bag is a standard black print. Coloured prints can work well for some designs; we notice there can be significant clarity issues for some prints due to the translucent nature of the bag. The contrast of the print is heavily dependent on the bag content; as such, a black or white print is the best way to achieve good levels of contrast against most backdrops.

Yes, you can print on both sides of our frosted zip-lock bags.

From colour to print, you can create tape that's perfectly representative of your brand. Depending on the material you choose, we may advise on different customisation options to ensure your brand stands out on every surface and backdrop.

Printed packaging tape is the cherry-on-top of branded packaging. It's the perfect way to showcase your brand in any context, from your supply chain to your delivered items. Tape has a unique footprint and provides an unorthodox canvas for creative branding & messaging approaches. Creating something impactful and memorable shows those coming into contact with your brand that you care about the details.
