Strength & protection
The 60-micron film resists punctures, scuffs and courier friction. Its tamper-evident adhesive seal forms a permanent bond once pressed, protecting contents through warehouse and transit handling.
Storage & performance
Store bags flat between 13–21 °C away from direct sunlight or heaters. Let cold stock reach room temperature before sealing for consistent adhesive performance.
Lightweight = lower postage
Our grey mailing bags are exceptionally light, helping you stay in lower Royal Mail weight brackets versus cardboard boxes — ideal for bulk clothing and textile dispatch.
