The complete guide

Everything you need to know about custom poly mailers

Custom poly mailers are lightweight, tear-resistant polyethylene shipping bags printed with your logo, brand colors, or messaging. They do the same job as a plain gray mailer — protecting soft goods in transit and keeping shipping weight (and postage) low — but they turn every parcel into a branded touchpoint. For e-commerce sellers, apparel labels, subscription boxes, beauty brands and Etsy shops, that means a more memorable unboxing and free advertising on every package that moves through the mail stream.

Because they’re made to order, the right specification depends on what you’re shipping and how much protection it needs. This guide walks through the sizes and dimensions available, the film thicknesses (measured in mils) and materials that drive durability, the eco-friendly recycled and compostable options, how the ordering process runs from artwork to delivery, and how bulk pricing works. If you already know what you need, you can request a custom quote at any point.

Why go custom

A branded mailer works twice — protection and marketing

Plain poly mailers disappear the moment they hit the porch. A custom poly mailer printed with your logo does the same protective job while putting your brand in a customer’s hands from the mailbox to the unboxing. Whether you ship apparel, cosmetics, or a monthly subscription, custom mailers make your fulfillment look polished and unmistakably yours.

Brand visibility

Every parcel becomes a moving billboard. Add your logo, handle, or tagline in full color so your brand travels the whole delivery route.

Built to protect

Tear- and puncture-resistant coextruded film, a permanent self-seal strip, and a water-resistant barrier that keeps soft goods dry in transit.

Made to spec

Pick the size, film thickness, bag color and print — we match Pantone brand colors and handle runs from small batches to tens of thousands.

We lay out your print, match your Pantone colors, and send a digital proof for review.

3

4

We print & ship

Your mailers are printed, quality-checked, and shipped to your door nationwide.

Sizes & thickness

Poly mailer sizes and film thickness: which do you need?

Two specs drive your choice: the flat dimensions (which decide what fits) and the film thickness in mils (which decides how much protection you get). Smaller 6"x9" and 9"x12" bags suit accessories and lightweight apparel; larger 14.5"x19" and 19"x24" mailers handle bulky garments and multi-item orders. Here’s how the common options compare.

Common size by longest dimension

Choose a size roughly 1–2" larger than your folded product for an easy seal.

Film thickness by grade (mil)

A mil is one-thousandth of an inch. Thicker film resists punctures from zippers, hardware and heavier items.

Materials & durability

Built to survive the mail stream and keep your brand sharp

Standard poly mailers are made from coextruded polyethylene — multiple layers of film bonded together so the bag stays flexible, resists tearing, and shrugs off the bumps and moisture of transit. An opaque layer hides the contents for privacy, and a permanent self-seal adhesive strip closes the bag in one press, no tape required. Your print is applied so it stays crisp from the warehouse to the doorstep.

For brands with sustainability goals, mailers are also available in recycled-content and certified compostable films. Recycled versions incorporate post-consumer plastic to reduce virgin material, while compostable mailers are designed to break down in the right conditions. You choose the film and thickness that match what you ship — a lightweight sample bag and a heavy-duty apparel mailer are built very differently.

  • Coextruded polyethylene — flexible, tear- and puncture-resistant
  • Water-resistant barrier — keeps soft goods dry in transit
  • Permanent self-seal strip — one-press closure, no tape needed
  • Opaque film — hides contents for privacy and security
  • Recycled-content options — post-consumer material to cut virgin plastic
  • Compostable options — certified films that break down in the right conditions

How custom poly mailer pricing works

Custom poly mailers are priced per unit, and the per-mailer price drops as your quantity climbs. Your final quote depends on four things: mailer size, film thickness, number of print colors, and total quantity. Larger runs, standard sizes and simpler artwork bring the unit cost down the most.

FAQ

Custom poly mailer questions, answered

What is the minimum order for custom poly mailers?
Custom printed runs are available from modest starter quantities up through tens of thousands. The more you order, the lower the per-mailer price — request a quote with your target quantity for exact numbers.
What sizes do poly mailers come in?
Common sizes range from 6"x9" for accessories and samples up to 19"x24" for bulky apparel and multi-item orders, with 9"x12" and 10"x13" being the most popular for standard apparel. Choose a size roughly 1–2" larger than your folded product for an easy seal.
What does “mil” mean for poly mailer thickness?
A mil is one-thousandth of an inch and measures the film’s thickness. Economy mailers run around 2 mil, standard mailers about 2.5 mil, and heavy-duty mailers up to 4 mil. Thicker film resists punctures from zippers, hardware and heavier items.
What are poly mailers made of?
Most are made from coextruded polyethylene — layered film that’s flexible, tear- and puncture-resistant, and water-resistant. An opaque layer hides the contents, and a permanent self-seal strip closes the bag without tape.
Are poly mailers waterproof?
Poly mailers are water-resistant: the polyethylene film and sealed adhesive strip keep out rain and moisture during normal shipping, protecting soft goods inside. They are not designed for full submersion.
Do you offer eco-friendly or compostable poly mailers?
Yes. We offer recycled-content mailers that incorporate post-consumer plastic, as well as certified compostable mailers designed to break down under the right conditions. Ask for eco-friendly options when you request your quote.
How is my logo printed on the mailer?
Your logo and artwork are printed onto the mailer in full color, on one or both sides. Send us vector artwork and we’ll proof the placement and colors before anything goes to production.
Can I get poly mailers in colors other than white?
Yes. Beyond white and black, we produce pink, blue, green, yellow, purple and accent-color mailers, and we can match your Pantone brand colors for both the bag and the printed artwork.
What weight can a poly mailer hold?
Poly mailers are designed for soft, non-fragile goods like apparel, textiles and accessories rather than heavy or breakable items. Heavier or bulkier contents call for a thicker film (3–4 mil) — tell us what you ship and we’ll recommend the right grade.
What’s the typical turnaround time?
Turnaround depends on quantity, size and artwork complexity. After artwork is approved, most orders move into production promptly — share your launch or deadline date in your quote request and we’ll confirm timing.
Do you ship nationwide?
Yes, we ship custom mailer orders across the U.S. Shipping is quoted with your order based on quantity, size and destination.
What artwork format do you need?
Vector files (AI, EPS, PDF, or SVG) give the cleanest print, but we can work from high-resolution PNGs or logos too. Send whatever you have and we’ll let you know if we need anything sharper before proofing.
Can you match my exact brand colors?
Yes. We print to your specified Pantone (PMS) colors so your mailers match the rest of your packaging and brand materials.
How do I get a quote?
Use the custom quote form with your size, quantity, colors and artwork, or call (929) 605-4397. You’ll get pricing and a production timeline back quickly.
