E-commerce and logistics packaging

DTC brands lose money twice on packaging: once on the bag, and once on returns and damage claims. This page covers the mailer and protective-film decisions that actually move your landed cost - PCR content, seal strength, sizes, printing and tamper evidence - from a manufacturer that supplies courier-ready packaging to e-commerce brands.

What shipping packaging has to survive

A mailer sits in a van, a sorting machine, three handlers and possibly a doorstep in the rain before it is opened. The two failures that matter are the bag splitting under a heavy item and the seal opening in transit - both show up as a damage claim that costs more than the bag. Tear-resistant film and a full-width self-adhesive seal are the non-negotiables.

Weight matters more than it used to: with carriers charging by dimensional weight, a mailer that is a few grams lighter or a size smaller saves real money at volume. We make to size, so the bag fits the product instead of the product rattling inside a default envelope.

PCR, GRS and the recyclability conversation

Many e-commerce buyers now need a sustainability story that survives an audit. PCR poly mailers and GRS-certified recycled content are the workhorse options - same seal strength, less virgin resin. If your category needs more, compostable structures are available for the niche that pays for them.

What we will not do is label a film recyclable when the collection stream cannot take it. Ask us for the certification documents and we will tell you which claim your market can actually make.

Sizes, printing and quick turnaround

Mailers run from small apparel bags up to 45x60 cm footwear sizes, printed up to 10-colour gravure or digitally for short runs. For a brand scaling from launch to wholesale, the same artwork and spec should carry across; we hold your print files and sizes on file so reorders are repeatable rather than renegotiated.

Tamper evidence and high-value shipments

Pharmaceutical, cosmetics and cash-in-transit shippers need more than a bag. Sequential numbering, barcodes and tamper-evident seals that leave visible evidence of opening are standard lines here, produced to the same AQL 1.5 batch documentation as the rest of the plant.
