Convenient & cost-effective

Looking for a way to ship products while also promoting your brand? Poly mailer bags are a weather- and tear-resistant alternative to cardboard or corrugated boxes. And because they’re lighter in weight and compact in size, you can cut down on storage needs and shipping costs. Plus, with 2-sided printing extending into the flap area, you can add your logo or custom message to product shipments. This gives you more opportunity to get your brand seen.

Versatile & customizable

Made of flexible polyethylene or compostable materials, our shipping bags can accommodate soft, flat and not easily crushed products. If you need extra room for bulkier items, you can opt for gusseted options that boast additional space at the base. Available in 4 sizes and 2 orientations, you can find the right fit for your soft goods, clothing or accessory shipments. Unlike many other mailers, we offer a compostable material option – after you tear open the mailer and throw away the perforated flap, the envelope will break down into organic matter for cleaner, more mindful disposal.

Perfect for my business

Love how these mailers came out. The design and size was exactly what I ordered and the shipping was quicker than expected. I’ve been using VP for years and I’ve never been disappointed.

Great Product

We use these bags for our collateral that goes with our cold chain product. So many ways to brand it! Will be using for a long time.

I feel duped!

Jul 26, 2025 | Joel J. | Verified Buyer
The gusset on these envelopes is just at the bottom. Not on all sides. These envelopes are completely useless to me.
Response from Vistaprint Customer Care Team:
Thank you for sharing your thoughts on the poly mailer. We regret to hear of your dissatisfaction with the gusset on the item. Please note that gussets are typically sewn into the sides or bottom of the mailer. The ones that you purchase are at the bottom. To help, we have taken action on your account, and a follow-up email with more details will be sent to you. We hope this helps.

Not lined

Jul 13, 2025 | Lindsay C. | Verified Buyer
I should have read the description more thoroughly; I assumed that these mailers would be lined like the ones at the post office but not the case. Our logo printed well but the mailers themselves are essentially plastic bags.
Response from Vistaprint Customer Care Team:
We appreciate you taking the time to provide us with your feedback about the poly mailers. We are sorry they did not have any liners as expected. The business of our customers is important to us, so we'll pass your feedback to the team for review.

Perfect!

  • 12" x 9.5" with 3" gusset: 0.49 oz.

Made from a robust 2 mil material, most of our poly mailers can hold up to 5 lb. – including the gusseted options. Our 6" x 9" size option, however, has a reduced weight capacity of 3 lb.

Our poly mailers are made of budget-friendly polyethylene. This plastic material is durable, flexible and weather- and tear-resistant. We also offer a slightly thinner yet durable material option that’s compostable, after you tear open the mailer and throw away the perforated flap.

Some, not all. Our poly material isn’t, but our compostable option is – after you tear open the mailer and throw away the perforated flap. With proper conditions, this material will break down into non-toxic, organic matter. This is a mindful alternative to traditional disposal and a great way to help reduce your environmental impact.
