The job it is listed for
A mixed dispatch desk starts from the goods. Grey mailing bags are for soft goods that do not need a rigid wall. Wholesale Packaging keeps Mailing bags as its own range so it is not picked as a rigid carton.
The category calls them shoe bags or grey mailers. They are opaque, European made from a blend of recycled film, and described as 100% recyclable.
The line that is not a substitute
A carton is for goods that must not be crushed. A mailer will not do that job.
Pick the bag by the goods, with a little extra for the seam, not by the carton size you used last time.
Bringing it in
A week of soft lines can move to mailers and leave the carton shelf untouched.
On Wholesale Packaging, put Mailing bags on the order with the lines it belongs to, so you are not paying a second delivery for the piece you forgot. Free UK delivery starts over £50 ex VAT.
Open Mailing bags when you already know this line. Bags are pack quantities. Read the count on the product before you assume a single bag. Wholesale Packaging will still dispatch an order placed by 3pm on the same day.
