What Are Returnable Poly Mailers?
Returnable poly mailers are sturdy, lightweight shipping pouches made from a specialized plastic film called co-extruded polyethylene, which gives them a shelf life of 5 to 10 years.
Our mailers’ double-sealing mechanism sets them apart from standard envelopes. Their main feature is two separate adhesive strips: one seals the outgoing delivery to the customer, and the other allows the customer to reseal the envelope for its return journey to the retailer.
Our envelopes have a white exterior with a silver interior and a 3-inch lip for quick, easy resealing. The side edges feature a side weld for added strength and durability. Their thickness (approximately 2.5 mil) makes them extra strong and capable of handling the demands of two shipping journeys. They will safely protect the enclosed items during both the initial and return transport, as they are designed to not tear and to resist water and punctures. This way, products will reach their destination safely even under difficult shipping conditions.
The envelopes are ideal for various storage conditions, maintaining their integrity at temperatures up to 12°F. They also comply with California Proposition 65 and CONEG regulations, as they are free of harmful metals.
As a bonus, returnable poly mailers are environmentally friendly because they can be reused multiple times. They thus reduce both overall packaging waste and environmental impact by using less material.
They are a cost-effective solution for businesses, as sending a return-ready envelope with the original order is more cost-effective than managing returns in varying packaging conditions or supplying separate return slips and materials.
You will find our returnable poly mailers in three sizes, available in cases of 200 or 500 units. Contact us today to find out more and discuss your needs. We offer discounts for bulk orders, and orders over $799.99 qualify for free shipping.
Everything You Need to Know about Returnable Poly Mailers
What sizes are returnable poly mailers available in?
Our Returnable poly mailers are available in three different sizes to cover most bag needs. We offer 12" x 15.5", 14" x 17", and 19" x 24" with a 2.5Mil thickness. Before choosing a size, consider your product measurements and make sure there is enough room for the goods without wasting money on unnecessary packaging.
How many times can a returnable poly mailer be used?
Packaging Friends returnable poly mailers are intended for two applications only and are not reusable. Their first application is delivery from the business to the client, and then a return delivery from the client back to the business. Each pouch has two adhesive tape strips to help with this dual-use cycle. After the second use, the envelope should be discarded or recycled in accordance with local plastic waste regulations.
Are returnable poly mailers water resistant?
Our returnable poly mailers are water-resistant but not completely waterproof. Their specialized plastic material will effectively keep moisture out, protecting items from rain and minor water exposure during transit. They thus provide excellent protection under typical shipping conditions and weather. However, if submerged or exposed to harsh water contact, the bags may weaken at the closure or allow water in.
Are returnable poly mailers more expensive than regular mailing envelopes?
Our returnable poly mailers have a slightly higher unit cost than standard mailing envelopes due to the additional adhesive strip and higher-quality materials. But their total economic benefit becomes clear when you consider that they replace both outgoing packaging and separate return packaging. Businesses save money on both returned materials and on processing times.
What weight capacity do returnable poly mailers have?
The weight capacity of a returnable poly mailer bag depends on its size and thickness. Most 2.5 Mil returnable poly mailers can easily handle 2-5 pounds, with larger sizes accommodating heavier items. The co-ex PE material is very strong with a high strength-to-weight ratio. You should always consider both product weight and dimensions before selecting the appropriate size to keep items secure during shipping and returns.
Are returnable poly mailers compatible with automated shipping systems?
Absolutely, our returnable poly mailers work easily with automated shipping and fulfillment systems. Their uniform size and construction, along with their flat profile and light weight, make them ideal for automated packing lines, label application machines, and sorting equipment. Their dual adhesive strips don't interfere with barcode scanning or automated processing equipment, making warehouse operations smooth and straightforward.
