Are paper mailers waterproof?

Our paper mailers have a special coating which makes them water-resistant. This repels water to a certain degree, protecting contents from leaks, splashes and light rain. Please note, they are unsuitable for liquid items. 

Are paper mailing bags as strong as poly mailers?

As our paper mailing bags are made from kraft, heavy-duty or multi-ply paper, they offer adequate protection for many common applications. They are great for businesses that want to use eco-friendly packaging. However, if durability and weatherproofing are your main concerns, then poly mailers are your best bet. 

If you’re after the eco benefits of paper mailers, but the strength of poly mailers, give our eco mailing bags a go. These are made from sugar cane, carbon neutral, and possess the same properties as poly mailers. So, there’s absolutely no compromise on strength or quality.
