- What can fit in a #5 bubble mailer?
- The 11.25 by 15 inch size holds a hardcover book, a folded shirt, a pair of shoes or a small boxed item. Measure anything thicker than about an inch against the bubble lining before sealing.
- Do I need tape to close these mailers?
- No. Peel the backing off the adhesive strip and press the flap down. The seal holds on its own, though heavy contents may warrant a strip of tape for extra security.
- Are these mailers waterproof?
- No. The kraft paper resists light moisture but is not waterproof. For rain-prone routes, use a poly mailer or add a plastic sleeve inside.
- How do these compare with poly mailers?
- Bubble mailers cost more and weigh more, but they cushion fragile items. Poly mailers are lighter and cheaper for soft, non-fragile goods.
- Can these go through USPS, UPS or FedEx?
- Yes, they are accepted by major carriers as padded envelopes. Check the thickness against each carrier's large-envelope limits if you stuff them full.
