What to Look for in Paper Mailing Bags
A paper mailing bag replaces a plastic mailer, so the first test is whether it protects what you ship.
- What you ship. A shirt, a book and a candle need different protection. Light soft goods suit a simple bag, and fragile items need a box.
- Padding. A plain paper bag gives no cushion, and a padded one adds some. Ask what is possible for your products.
- Seal. A peel-and-seal strip is quick. Test it on a sample, in a dry and a humid place.
- Water. Paper takes up moisture. Tell us if parcels travel in wet weather, and we confirm what is possible.
- Size. Measure the folded product, and add room so the bag closes easily without bulging.
Where Paper Mailing Bags Are Used
- Clothing and apparel shops posting folded garments.
- Book and print sellers posting flat items.
- Subscription and sample senders with light products.
- Brands that avoid plastic and want a paper alternative.
Artwork and Printing Tips for Paper Mailing Bags
- A mailing bag has a large flat face. Put your logo on the front, and keep a clear space for the address label.
- Leave room for the label on the area where it will not be hidden by a fold or the seal.
- Natural paper colors change how ink looks. A light color on brown paper can look weak, so check the proof.
- Use a bold simple design. A pattern across the whole bag hides scuffs from postal handling.
- Tell us your colors as Pantone or CMYK values, and ask for a proof.
Planning Your Order
Measure the folded product and test a similar bag with it. Decide whether you need padding, and whether your parcels need a barcode area. Think about how many you ship each week, and where you store bags flat and dry.
Try a sample and post it to yourself. Our Standard Sample Kit is $50, shipping included, and the Samples page lists the other types. We confirm pricing and minimums with your quote.

How long does it take to get custom paper mailing bags?
Timing depends on the product, the size and the quantity, and it is confirmed with your quote. Production starts once your artwork is approved and payment is received. Delivery usually takes another 4–5 working days, depending on the carrier and your location, so a typical order arrives in about 2 weeks and larger orders take longer. See the turnaround guide.
What size paper mailing bag should I choose?
Measure the folded product, and add room so the bag closes. Send the size and we confirm what works.
Are paper mailing bags waterproof?
Paper takes up moisture, so we do not promise this. Tell us how your parcels travel, and we confirm what is possible.
Can a paper mailing bag protect fragile items?
A paper bag gives little cushion, so fragile items need a box or padding. See our mailer boxes.
Where do I put the address label on a paper mailing bag?
On the front, on a flat area away from the seal strip and the folded edges. Leave a clear space for it in your design, so the logo is not covered.
