All About Peel And Seal Bubble MailersThe alarming number of items that are lost in the mail makes bubble mailers an attractive vehicle for fragile or sensitive items. The name is self-explanatory, but one could also refer to them as bubble wrap cushioned mailers. You've probably seen these at the workplace or your local shipping store. You can place items into these self seal bubble mailers and rest assured that your package is as well-protected as possible. These mailing envelopes are commonly used for packaging DVDs, CDs, and Jewelry, among other things. The popularity of these envelopes has increased significantly. Customers often wonder about picking the correct size for the particular item they intend to mail. Some companies have put forth formulas to aid in choosing the correct size. For instance, the width of the mailer should be the width plus the thickness of the product plus 1/2". The length of the mailer should be length of the product plus the thickness of the product plus 2". Those who have used these mailers understand the frustration of forcing an item into an envelope too small, or wondering what will happen to your item as it slides around in a mailer that is far too large. Therefore, the formula is helpful in choosing the correct size. One of the greatest benefits of a bubble mailer is the peel and seal feature. No one enjoyes licking the bitter paste on an envelope. Peel and seal mailers make the job effortless, and more importantly, tasteless, by offering an adhesive lid that is activated by peeling off the protective layer and simply closing the lid. This also offers a secure, tamper-evident closure. There are different types, but the most common is the ecolite kraft bubble mailer. Ecolite refers to the fact that these packages offer adequate, light-weight protection. The kraft is the familiar golden paper exterior that offers tougher protection than a standard envelope. Additionally, the kraft covering is often made from recycled paper which makes them environmentally friendly. Bubble mailers come in all shapes and sizes, but they also come in many different colors and decorations. Decorative bubble mailers are common for businesses attempting to build brand equity. They can also be used by individuals who simply want to brighten the day of the mail recipient. The most common, and the cheapest bubble mailers, are the aforementioned kraft mailers that are often purchased by companies in bulk to mail merchandise to their customers. |
