Custom Poly Mailers

Custom poly mailers are lightweight shipping bags made from LDPE or co-extruded polyethylene film, printed with your branding and sealed with a permanent self-adhesive flap. They're the standard shipping packaging for apparel and soft goods because they weigh 60-80% less than boxes, cost less per unit, and can be printed edge-to-edge.

Cubit produces custom printed poly mailers from just 500 units — low enough for product launches and small DTC brands. Stock (unprinted) poly mailers and clear poly bags are available from 1,000 units with faster turnaround.

Custom printed poly mailers typically run $0.22–$0.55 per unit depending on size, film thickness, and print coverage, with prices dropping at 5,000+ quantities. Blank stock mailers cost less. A 10×13″ printed mailer at 5,000 units lands around $0.28–$0.40 each — try our instant estimator or request an exact quote.

Common sizes are 6×9″ (accessories), 10×13″ (1-2 shirts — the most popular), 12×15.5″ (multi-item orders), 14.5×19″ (hoodies, denim), and 24×24″+ (bulky soft goods). Because every Cubit mailer is made to order, any custom dimension is available.

Yes — polyethylene film is inherently water-resistant, and the self-seal adhesive closure keeps moisture out in normal transit conditions. That's a key advantage over paperboard mailers for apparel: rain on a doorstep won't damage the product inside.

Use poly mailers for non-fragile, soft, or flexible products (apparel, textiles, accessories): they're cheaper per unit, avoid dimensional-weight fees, and ship flat. Use mailer boxes for fragile, rigid, premium-unboxing, or crush-sensitive products. Many brands use both — mailers for basics, boxes for premium lines.

Yes. We offer poly mailers with 50-100% post-consumer recycled (PCR) content that are store-drop recyclable, and certified compostable mailers made from PBAT/corn-starch films. Both take full-color printing, so eco doesn't mean unbranded.

Yes. Clear poly bags and mailers can be printed with the required suffocation warning in Amazon's specified type sizes, and we produce the 1.5 mil+ thickness FBA requires. Tell us the marketplace and we'll match the prep spec.

2.5 mil is the standard for single-garment apparel orders. Step up to 3 mil for multi-item orders and 4 mil co-extruded film for heavy goods like denim, shoes, or anything with corners. Bubble-lined mailers add 3/16″ cushioning for fragile items.

Custom printed poly mailers ship in 10-14 business days standard, with 5-7 day rush production available. Stock mailers and clear poly bags ship in 3-5 business days. Free USA shipping is included on every order.
