What is a Flat Poly Mailer?
A custom flat poly mailer is a type of packaging designed to ship small, lightweight items that require protection from moisture and tearing during shipping. It is most commonly made of high-density polyethylene (available in other materials) material that is both waterproof and durable, ensuring items remain safe during transit.
Poly mailers require minimal storage space, and can be easily customized, providing an opportunity to elevate brand recognition while promoting environmental responsibility. What sets the custom flat poly mailer apart is its ability to be personalized with a business’s branding, providing an opportunity to enhance brand recognition while promoting eco-friendliness.
These mailers are used in a wide range of packaging applications for e-commerce businesses, small businesses, and individuals who frequently ship small items. They are particularly well-suited for shipping items like clothing, cosmetics, and jewelry.

Print Options
Flexographic printing is a printing technique that uses a flexible plate to print images onto the flat poly mailer. This printing method offers high-quality prints at high speeds, making it ideal for large-scale orders. Flexographic printing is also a cost-effective option for businesses that need to print large quantities of packaging.
Digital printing is a popular option for customizing flat poly mailers. It offers a high-quality print with vibrant colors and is ideal for short-run orders. Digital printing allows businesses to customize their packaging with minimal setup time and can be a cost-effective option for small businesses.
Screen printing is a printing technique that uses a stencil and a mesh screen to transfer ink onto the flat poly mailer. This method offers a high-quality print with vibrant colors and is ideal for printing large designs. Screen printing is also a great option for businesses that need to print packaging with opaque colors.
Lithographic printing, also known as offset printing, is a printing technique that uses a flat plate to print images onto the flat poly mailer. This method offers a high-quality print with accurate color reproduction and is ideal for printing high-resolution images. Lithographic printing is also an excellent option for businesses that need to print packaging with multiple colors.
Hot stamping is a printing technique that uses a heated die to transfer foil onto the flat poly mailer. This method offers a high-quality print with a metallic finish and is ideal for creating a premium look and feel. Hot stamping is also an excellent option for businesses that want to add a logo or branding to their packaging.
Graphics
Mailers can be printed with a company logo, tagline, or other branding elements to create a cohesive and recognizable brand experience.
Color options allow businesses to choose a color that aligns with their branding, creating a cohesive brand experience. Custom colors are an excellent way to make packaging stand out and create a lasting impression on customers.
Labels can be added to a mailer and designed with a company logo, branding, messaging, or custom designs, providing an easy and affordable way to customize packaging. Custom printed labels are an excellent option for businesses that want to add graphics to packaging but are working with a limited budget.
Seasonal themes or holidays is an excellent way to add a personal touch to packaging. By incorporating seasonal graphics, businesses can create a memorable unboxing experience and make customers feel appreciated.
Structural Design
Mailers are available in polypropylene, LDPE, or HDPE, which have different properties like tear resistance, moisture protection, or puncture resistance. Choosing the right material type is essential to ensuring that the package provides adequate protection during transit.
A tear strip is a customization option that allows the recipient to easily open the package without using scissors or other tools. It also adds an extra layer of security, ensuring that the package remains intact during transit.
A poly mailer’s size should fit and support a specific item being shipped. Choosing the right size ensures that the package fits snugly, reducing the risk of damage during transit. Custom sizing also reduces excess material use, which is an eco-friendly option for businesses looking to reduce their environmental impact.
Security Features: Security features like barcodes, QR codes, or serial numbers can be added to flat poly mailers, providing an added layer of protection and traceability. These features ensure the package can be tracked and identified easily during transit.
Gussets are a design feature that provides additional space and flexibility for items that may not fit comfortably in traditional packaging options, making them an excellent choice for bulkier items.
Add a metallic shine to the packaging, making them an excellent choice for businesses that want to create a high-end look. They also provide excellent protection against moisture, making them ideal for businesses that ship products that require extra protection.
The self-seal flap is a customizable feature that eliminates the need for tape or additional sealing materials during the packaging process, providing a quick and easy way to secure the package.
Bubble lining is a customization option that provides extra cushioning and protection during transit. The bubble lining absorbs shock and prevents damage to fragile items, making it an ideal option for businesses shipping delicate or valuable items. See our bubble mailer page for more details.
Tamper-evident seals are a design feature that provides an added layer of security and protection during transit. These seals indicate whether the package has been opened or tampered with, giving businesses peace of mind and customers an added sense of security.
Bottom folds are a design feature that provides additional support and durability to the package. It can also help to prevent the package from bursting or tearing during transit.
