Accepted Answer

Custom bubble mailers are manufactured in our China facilities with a total turnaround time of 8-13 weeks from artwork approval to delivery. This includes production time (6-8 weeks) and international shipping (2-5 weeks). Production begins once you approve the digital proof. West coast deliveries are typically 2 weeks faster than east coast. We recommend planning ahead and ordering in advance to ensure timely delivery for your business needs.

We recommend planning your custom mailer orders well in advance. Contact our team to discuss options if you have a tight deadline.

Question 12

This includes 6-8 weeks for production and quality control, plus 2-5 weeks for international shipping (west coast deliveries are 2 weeks faster). Air freight is available for faster delivery (6-8 weeks total) at an additional cost. We provide tracking information throughout the entire process.

Question 13

What are the shipping costs for custom mailer orders?

Accepted Answer

Ocean freight shipping from China is included in your quote price for orders delivered to the continental United States. The 8-13 week timeline includes this standard shipping.

Large volume orders over 10,000 units often receive the best per-unit pricing including freight.

Question 14

What materials are custom bubble mailers made from?

Accepted Answer

Our custom bubble mailers feature a durable kraft paper exterior and protective polyethylene bubble interior. The outer layer is made from 100% recyclable paper while the bubble lining provides excellent cushioning for fragile items. Available in multiple bubble thicknesses depending on your protection needs. All materials meet or exceed industry durability standards.

Question 15

What materials are custom poly mailers made from?

Accepted Answer

Custom poly mailers are manufactured from high-quality co-extruded polyethylene film that is lightweight, water-resistant, and tear-resistant. We offer various thicknesses (2.5 mil standard, 3.15 mil heavy-duty) to suit different shipping needs. Our poly material is puncture-resistant and provides excellent protection against moisture and dirt during transit.

Question 16

Are your custom mailers eco-friendly or recyclable?

Accepted Answer

We also offer biodegradable poly mailers made from plant-based materials that break down in 3-6 months in composting conditions. Standard poly mailers can be recycled through plastic film recycling programs available at many retail locations. Ask about our sustainable packaging solutions.

Question 17

How durable are custom bubble mailers for shipping?

Accepted Answer

Custom bubble mailers are extremely durable and designed specifically for shipping protection. The kraft paper exterior resists tears and punctures while the bubble lining provides excellent cushioning against impacts and drops. They meet USPS, UPS, and FedEx shipping standards and are ideal for protecting electronics, cosmetics, jewelry, books, and other delicate items during transit.

Question 18

Are custom poly mailers waterproof?

Accepted Answer

Yes, custom poly mailers are water-resistant and protect contents from rain, snow, and moisture during shipping. The polyethylene material creates a protective barrier that keeps items dry even in wet conditions. This makes them ideal for clothing, textiles, and other items that need moisture protection but don't require padding.

Question 19

What sizes are available for custom bubble mailers?

Accepted Answer

Custom bubble mailers are available in a wide range of sizes from small 4x8 inches (perfect for jewelry and cosmetics) to large 14.25x20 inches (ideal for apparel and books). Popular sizes include 6x10, 8.5x12, and 10x15 inches. We can also create custom sizes for unique products. Each size is designed to accommodate standard shipping items while minimizing dimensional weight charges.

Question 20

What sizes do custom poly mailers come in?

Accepted Answer

Custom poly mailers range from 6x9 inches to 19x24 inches with many standard sizes in between. Common sizes include 10x13 (t-shirts), 12x15.5 (medium apparel), and 14.5x19 (large clothing items). Custom sizing is available for non-standard products. Choose the right size to avoid excess material while ensuring your products fit comfortably.

Question 21

Should I choose bubble mailers or poly mailers for my products?

Accepted Answer

Choose custom bubble mailers if you're shipping fragile items like electronics, glassware, cosmetics, or jewelry that need cushioning protection. Opt for custom poly mailers if you're shipping non-fragile items like clothing, textiles, documents, or soft goods where weight and water resistance are more important than padding. Bubble mailers cost more but provide superior protection, while poly mailers are more economical for high-volume shipping of durable goods.

Question 22

Can I order both bubble mailers and poly mailers together?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely! Many businesses order both custom bubble mailers and poly mailers to accommodate different product types in their inventory. We can coordinate production so both orders arrive together. Ordering multiple product types in a single transaction can also qualify you for additional volume discounts. Contact us to discuss combining orders.

Question 23

Do you offer custom paper mailers as well?

Accepted Answer

Yes! In addition to custom bubble mailers and poly mailers, we also offer custom paper mailers made from recycled kraft paper. These are perfect for eco-conscious brands shipping non-fragile items. Paper mailers are fully recyclable and curbside recyclable, making them the most environmentally friendly option. Available in multiple sizes with full-color printing capabilities.

Question 24

How do I reorder the same custom mailer design?

Accepted Answer

Reordering is simple! Your custom bubble mailer or poly mailer design is stored in our system, so you can reorder with just a few clicks. Login to your account, go to order history, and select 'Reorder'. You can adjust quantities as needed. Reorders follow the same 8-13 week production and shipping timeline but skip the design approval phase, allowing us to begin manufacturing immediately upon order confirmation.

Question 25

Can I make changes to my custom mailer design after ordering?

Accepted Answer

Design changes can be made during the proofing stage before production begins. Once you approve the proof and production starts, changes cannot be made to that order. However, you can order a revised version for your next shipment. We keep all previous designs on file, so you can always reference or modify them for future orders.

Question 26

What if my custom mailers arrive damaged?

Accepted Answer

We stand behind our quality. If your custom bubble mailers or poly mailers arrive damaged due to production defects or shipping issues, contact us within 30 days with photos of the damage. We'll either replace the damaged items at no charge or provide a credit toward your next order. All orders are carefully inspected before shipping to ensure quality standards are met.

Question 27

Do you provide samples before I place a large order?

Accepted Answer

Yes! We offer sample kits that include various sizes of bubble mailers and poly mailers so you can evaluate material quality, see printing examples, and test different sizes with your products. Physical samples with your custom design can also be produced for a fee before committing to a full production run. This ensures you're completely satisfied before ordering in volume.

Question 28

How do I track my custom mailer order?

Accepted Answer

Once your custom bubble mailers or poly mailers ship, you'll receive a tracking number via email. You can also login to your account to view order status and tracking information.
