What is a Custom Compostable Mailer?

A custom compostable mailer is designed to deliver both domestic and industrial items like art prints, small canvas paintings, and clothing. These are made from durable materials to preserve and protect apparel and cosmetic products during transportation. These mailers come in professional and neutral colors making them ideal for e-commerce product packaging, gift boxes, and subscription boxes. Compostable mailers are durable and stylish and have custom shapes that match the size of your item. These are air-tight packaging sealed by using tapes, fol-over flaps, and adhesives to avoid any damage. In compostable bubble mailers, additional bubble wrappings can be used to provide extra cushioning for delicate accessories, unique handicraft items, and expensive clothes.

Materials used for Customized Compostable Mailers

We use the following high-quality FSC-certified Materials Polylactic acid (PLA), Polybutylene adipate terephthalate (PBAT), and kraft paper to manufacture custom compostable mailers.

  • Polylactic acid (PLA) made from fermented plant starch is eco-friendly and durable which makes it an excellent choice for Sustainable Boxes. It is adaptable and can be made in multiple dimensions which allow brands to select the size that packs their product perfectly. PLA is resilient to withstand handling and offering extra protection during delivery. It decomposes after a certain time in particular environmental conditions reducing environmental waste. 
  • Polybutylene adipate terephthalate (PBAT) made from petrochemical sources like terephthalic acid. It is flexible which makes it tear-resistant and breakage-free during handling and shipping. It provides extra protection against punctures and environmental impacts. Despite being made of petrochemicals, it decomposes over time under specific conditions which makes it an eco-friendly option. 
  • Kraft made of wood pulp is a durable and lightweight material. It is used in raw form which makes it attractive for eco-friendly customers. Its thickness varies from 10pt to 20pt which provides extra-protection to products stored inside. Kraf allows custom sizing, colors and branding which makes it a suitable option for custom compostable mailer packaging. 

Compostable Mailer Packaging made from Eco-Friendly Materials

Compostable mailers are composed of eco-friendly material like kraft paper, Polylactic acid (PLA) and Polybutylene adipate terephthalate (PBA). These materials are extracted from plant based resources and are as durable as plastic mailers. They decompose quickly, only taking 90 to 120 days to break down completely. Our compostable poly mailers are reusable with a new or second adhesive tape. The ink we use is either water-base or soy-based to grab the attention of our eco-conscious customers. These mailers are an excellent opportunity to showcase your brand and promote sustainability while reducing waste material in the surroundings.

Printing & Finishing Options:

We offer visually striking designs with modern printing techniques to make compostable mailers stand out in the market among competitors

  • Offset Printing is a traditional technique that works for large quantities. It makes clear details and instructions which is necessary when it comes to compostable mailers. It produces excellent results and your packaging will look simple yet elegent. 
  • Digital Printing is for high-quality images. It works well for limited editions and seasonal promotional packaging. 

Finishing

To grab the customer’s attention, it is important to choose the right finishing for a decent and eye-grabbing compostable mailer. We offer: 

  • Gloss adds shiny layers and provides vibrancy to colors. The reflective surface draws the customers attention.
  • Matte is used for plain and simple surface. It is ideal for custom designs, patterns and artwork.
  • UV Coating is shiny layers that improve the durability of the packaging.
