Eco-responisble product protection
Heavy duty 2-ply Kraft paper mailing bags are a strong paper mailer for posting heavier, flatter goods such as books, catalogues and electronics. The two-ply thickness of Kraft paper give extra tear resistance in transit, so the bag holds up underweight where a single-layer paper mailer can split. A quick peel-and-seal strip closes each of the 2 ply paper mailing bags without tape or tools, which speeds up busy packing benches. The 2-ply 70 gsm paper is 100% recyclable, and its natural lightness keeps postage down on heavier parcels.
Available in three sizes. Sold in packs of 50, priced per pack.
Where do heavy duty paper mailing bags work best?
Heavy duty paper mailing bags suit despatch teams sending flatter, heavier goods that need a stronger paper outer and fast closure.
- Posting books, catalogues and printed materials, as the 2-ply Kraft paper resists tearing better than a single-layer paper mailer.
- E-commerce orders with flat or rectangular goods such as DVDs and cosmetics, where the brown Kraft surface takes labels cleanly.
- High-volume packing benches, where the peel-and-seal strip closes each bag with no tape or tools.
- Heavier paper-based despatch, where 2-ply 70 gsm paper carries the weight while staying light for postage.
Not for
- Very fragile items sent without inner protection. Add cushioning such as bubble wrap inside the bag to limit movement.
- Items that need rigid crush or corner protection. Use cardboard boxes when the product must not bend in transit.
- Sharp or loose items that can strain the seams. Wrap or box them first so they don't puncture the paper.
