Packaging is a central piece in transportation and delivery services. The primary function of packing is to keep the contents safe from any destruction that could happen during shipment, handling, and storage. Packaging ensures that the product retains its freshness and remains unbroken all through its shipment chain from the manufacturer to the final destination. For this process to be efficient, we have poly mailers.
What are poly mailers? Poly mailers are lightweight bags made from a durable, moisture-resistant plastic material. They are even made to be more durable by getting lined up with bubble wrap. Poly mailers are different from boxes in that they are mostly ultra-thin.
What are some of the advantages of using poly mailers over other conventional means such as boxes? Well, these envelopes are thin, so little space is utilized, especially on freight.
There is also room in front of the envelope for you to label your items for easy identification.
Another underrated aspect of poly mailers is that they are eco-friendly. Unlike boxes that, once opened up, it's difficult to reuse, and poly mailers are reusable. Many poly mailers are fully recyclable. This reduces waste and thus is environmentally beneficial.
Poly mailers are also cost-effective in freight charges, especially when rates apply on size and weight. Therefore, it is cheaper to ship a product in a poly mailer package than in a box, with everything else equal. Poly mailers do allow some leeway for branding your product. Every business owner knows how vital branding is to the success of their product. Branding makes a memorable impression on consumers and allows your customers and clients to know what to expect from your business. With poly mailers, you can customize your product by adding labels in front of the package. You can easily embed your product’s emblem onto the poly mailer to boost your brand visibility.
What Goes Into Poly Mailers?
There are exceptional circumstances in which other conventional packaging methods such as boxes are preferable to poly mailers. For example, boxes are recommended for products that can be easily crushed. But in most cases, poly mailers usually come in handy. The following can all be packed into a poly mailer:
1. Accessories and Phone cases
Phone products such as covers can nicely fit into poly mailers. Small accessories such as necklaces can also be packed in a poly mailer.
2. Beauty products
Perfumes, lipsticks, and fingernail polishes can be easily slotted into a poly mailer. A thinner and lighter envelope is preferable. Make sure that the product is properly sealed before putting them in a poly mailer.
3. Books
Books are suited for poly mailers as they can be laid flat. However, using a poly bubble mailer is highly recommended. This prevents the pages from getting folded and at the same time preserving the quality of the cover.
4. Clothes
Clothing is the ultimate product for poly mailers. They lay flat and cannot be crushed on transit.
Even though poly mailers are discouraged when fragile products are involved, they still offer quality packaging, and safety is guaranteed to deliver your product.
