Everything You Need to know about Bubble Mailers

Whether you run a major e-commerce business or a small online shop, bubble mailers are planned to help you deliver in safety.

Introduction

Cartons are a shipping staple. They hold huge amounts of items, are tough and durable, and can be custom-built to fit your brand. However, sometimes you don’t require all of the space that a box has to offer. If you are sending out smaller stuff and want to save money, consider using a Bubble Mailer.  Bubble mailers are thin, padded envelopes that come in different sizes and cost less to transport. They still offer safety to your item but without the bulk and higher shipping costs of a box. Bubble mailers can be confusing to ship, whether because of postage, weight restrictions, or packaging processes.  Euphoria Packaging is here to walk you through all you need to know about these thin, flexible box replacements.

What Is a Bubble Mailer?

Before we start, it’s essential to understand what a bubble mailer is. A bubble mailer is a plastic or paper envelope lined with a cover of bubble wrap. They come in an extensive range of sizes, commonly rectangular in dimension.  There is a variation in size between the external and inner of a bubble mailer. Take this into account while selecting the right mailer for your product. The practical size is the inside space of the envelope – make sure it has sufficient room for your items.  Bubble mailers are often mentioned as padded envelopes. Padded envelopes are envelopes that use paper, foam or bubble wrap as a protective layer inside of the envelope. The terms are frequently used interchangeably.  However, bubble mailers are padded envelopes, but not all padded envelopes are bubble mailers. 

When to Use a Bubble Mailer

Mailer boxes offer the best protection and stability. However, there are several situations where a bubble mailer is the ideal container for shipping your stuff. Bubble mailers are best for light, small, delicate items that need protection while in shipment. Flat items, such as CDs, books, jewellery and documents fit nicely into the rectangular mailer. These things don’t need the full packaging and space of a shipping box.  A study done in 2010 found that parcels experience as many as 27 drops or tosses on a one-way shipment. Hence, it is essential that your items are safe, even if they don’t fall into the category of delicate items. A bubble mailer offers protection to smaller objects that you may not think of as delicate but is still vulnerable to breakage. 

How to Pack a Bubble Mailer

Bubble mailers come lined with a defensive layer of bubble wrap. For most objects, that layer offers enough protection. There is no requirement to add more packing material inside of the mailer. However, you might still be worried about the safety of your item. If this is the case, and there is room in the mailer, you can add an additional layer of bubble wrap or packing paper around your item. This offers additional safety, but also extra weight, so weigh your priorities.
