Send products safely in 100% recycled black plastic mailing bags
Black mailing bags are designed for soft goods and larger non-fragile items with an opaque black finish to keep contents confidential. They're made entirely from 100% recycled low-density polythene, so they cut virgin plastic while staying tearproof and waterproof in transit. The opaque black film hides the contents, which suits sending clothing and other sensitive items direct to customers. A self-seal adhesive peel strip closes each of these black postage bags quickly, and the surface takes address and packaging labels. The 55 to 60 micron LDPE is light but strong, and the bags are fully recyclable after use. These black mailer bags are available in sizes ranging from 245 x 345mm up to 438 x 737mm (opening x internal height).
Sold and priced per pack.
Where do black mailing bags work best?
Black mailing bags suit e-commerce and mail-order teams despatching soft, non-fragile goods that need a confidential, weatherproof outer.
- E-commerce clothing orders, where waterproof polythene protects garments without the bulk of a box.
- Retail textile despatch, where tearproof LDPE protects folded goods in handling.
- Confidential mail order, where the opaque black film keeps contents hidden in transit.
- Larger soft items such as coats, where the bag flexes around non-rigid products.
Not for
- Fragile, crush-sensitive or sharp-edged products. Use cardboard boxes for rigid outer protection.
- Heavy or industrial consignments beyond lighter-duty mailing. Match the packaging to the product weight.
- Items needing cushioning against impact. Add protective wrap before despatch.

Choose the right mailing bag
Black mailing bags are ideal for discreetly packaging items that need to stay concealed, and they support your sustainability goals as they're made from 100% recycled content.
- Choose black mailing bags when you need opaque, waterproof black postage bags made entirely from recycled LDPE, for clothing and soft goods.
- Choose grey mailing bags when you want the same recycled poly in grey rather than black.
- Choose poly mailers with handles when you need a standard grey finish but parcels need a carry handle, so they can be easily carried by hand during transit and on the customer end.
- Choose compostable mailing bags when you need a bag that breaks down after use rather than recycled polythene.
