Christmas Mailers: How to Get Your Packaging Ready for Peak Season
Here at printedmailbags we recognise how difficult it is to start a mail order business so we’re here to help make at least one area easier.
Greener packaging
that delivers
your brand
Sustainable mailing bags offer brands a more environmentally responsible way to package and ship their products without compromising on performance or presentation.
Many businesses are now choosing eco friendly mailing bags made from recyclable materials or responsibly sourced paper to reduce the environmental impact of their packaging. These options allow you to maintain strong brand presentation while supporting more sustainable business practices.
Whether you’re shipping clothing, retail products or subscription items, sustainable mailing bags provide a reliable and practical solution for ecommerce and postal delivery.
By combining durability, responsible materials and strong branding, sustainable packaging helps businesses protect products in transit while demonstrating a commitment to more environmentally conscious operations.
Our sustainable mailing bags can be fully customised to match your brand, allowing you to create packaging that reflects both your visual identity and your environmental values.
From clean logo prints to bold creative designs, sustainable mailing bags can be produced with a range of print styles and sizes to suit your products. Paper based options also provide a natural kraft finish that works particularly well with minimal or premium branding.
Additional features such as return adhesive strips, custom sizing and branded messaging can also be included, helping your packaging support both operational needs and customer experience.
Our team can guide you through the available options to ensure your packaging balances branding, functionality and sustainability.
The minimum order quantity (MOQ) for sustainable mailing bags will depend on the material and specification you choose.
In most cases, orders start from 200–500 units, providing flexibility for businesses launching new packaging or trialling more sustainable options.
Ordering larger quantities can help reduce your price per unit, making sustainable packaging more cost effective as your business grows.
If storage space is limited, we also offer stockholding and logistics management, allowing you to order larger quantities while we safely store and dispatch your packaging as required.
Delivery times will vary depending on the product type and the complexity of your order. We’ll always provide clear, transparent timelines so you know exactly what to expect from the outset.
As one of the few UK suppliers able to achieve fast turnaround times, we can often support urgent requirements — so if you need your packaging quickly, please get in touch and we’ll do our best to help.
If you choose to order larger quantities and use our stockholding and logistics management, your packaging can be produced in advance and stored with us, allowing simple call off orders and significantly reduced delivery lead times whenever you need stock.
Our sustainable mailing bag options are designed to help businesses reduce the environmental impact of their packaging.
We offer materials such as recyclable kraft paper, responsibly sourced paper stocks and recycled plastic options, depending on the type of mailing bag required.
Many sustainable packaging solutions can also be designed with reuse in mind, such as additional adhesive strips that allow customers to return items using the same bag.
By choosing sustainable mailing bags, brands can demonstrate a commitment to responsible packaging while continuing to deliver products safely and professionally.
