Whether you are sending your goods via post, courier or shipping company, you should always choose the right type of envelope for the type of shipment. There are many sizes and materials to choose from. But which is the best one for your shipment?

PLASTIC ENVELOPES

If you’re looking for packaging that won’t get damaged and that can withstand weather conditions, plastic envelopes are the ideal choice. You can easily wrap a t-shirt, bed linen, duvet or even a shoebox in them. Their big advantage is, as mentioned, their waterproof and tear-resistant properties. In addition, they are soft and flexible and easy to close with the help of a self-adhesive flap. Plastic envelopes ensure that your parcel is protected at all times, whatever mode of transport you choose. If you want to save the environment reach for cardboard or kraft envelopes.

BUBBLE ENVELOPES

Bubble envelopes are most commonly used for shipping by mail. They are high quality and sufficient protection for fragile products. They absorb shock well, save you postage costs due to their low self-weight and are easy to close thanks to the flap with self-adhesive strip. They are ideal for mailing small electronics, crayons, CDs and DVDs, chocolates etc. There are also many sizes to choose from – from small 100×165 envelopes to A3+, a size suitable for calendars among other things.

CARDBOARD ENVELOPES

Cardboard envelopes made of plain or microwavable cardboard are ideal for sending paper products – catalogues, calendars, diaries, annual reports, books, notebooks, but also for CDs and DVDs. They provide strong enough protection for paper-based mailings, are easy to close – either with the help of drawer slats or self-adhesive strips – and look presentable. They are suitable for both postal and courier services. The envelopes have a practical perforation thread for easy opening.

CARDBOARD COVERS FOR CALENDARS AND BOOKS

Even products such as books should be packed in cardboard sleeves to protect them during transit. Calendars should be enclosed in a mail-order package that has been custom-made for them. The microwavable cardboard will protect them from folding and is easy to close thanks to the drawer slats. Books fit best in cross-covers that fold easily. The short flaps secure the product and for perfect wrapping, just fold the long flaps over them, seal and the package is ready to ship. Again, you can choose from A5, A4 and A3 sizes. The calendar cover offers a maximum size of 1000x700x11 mm.
