Padded mailers provide essential protection for small or fragile goods during transit. Each envelope features a smooth paper exterior and an interior lined with air-filled bubbles, creating a cushion against impacts and shocks. This design makes them ideal for shipping items like cosmetics, jewellery, small electronics, and books. The range includes both plain and customisable options, such as the Custom Bubble Envelope, to suit different business needs from logistics to direct-to-consumer branding.

Protective features of padded envelopes

Our padded envelopes combine a durable kraft paper exterior, in white or brown, with a protective bubble interior. A strong self-seal adhesive strip ensures a secure closure, keeping contents safe until they reach their destination.

Custom printed bubble envelopes

Personalise your mailings with custom printing on our bubble envelopes. The Custom Bubble Envelope provides a white kraft paper surface that serves as a clean base for full-colour CMYK printing, ensuring your logo and branding show clearly. This option transforms a simple mailer into a marketing tool. We offer a range of standard sizes designed to fit common products and letterbox dimensions. For functional shipping without branding, the Plain Bubble Envelope offers the same protection and comes in white or traditional brown kraft. Both types are lightweight to help manage postage costs, and you can order them in quantities that suit your business, starting from low minimums.

Sizing for padded mailers

Our selection of padded mailers comes in various industry-standard sizes, suitable for everything from compact accessories to A4 documents. These dimensions are compatible with major UK courier services, including Royal Mail's letter and large letter formats.

These bubble envelopes are a reliable choice for e-commerce businesses and anyone shipping delicate items. Their lightweight construction and built-in cushioning offer a practical and efficient packing process. If your products require different protection, browse our full collection of mailing envelopes for more options.

FAQ

What can I send in bubble envelopes?

Small, delicate items that need cushioning - jewellery, electronics, cosmetics, handmade goods, as well as sensitive documents. The inner cushioning layer protects them from shocks and impacts in transit.

What are bubble envelopes made of?

Bubble envelopes have two permanently bonded layers: an outer layer of white or brown kraft paper and an inner cushioning layer. The outer paper is light, which lowers shipping costs, and at the same time durable.

What padding do bubble envelopes have?

There are two types of cushioning to choose from: classic bubble film, also called pluriball, and paper padding. Both protect the contents from shocks - you choose depending on whether you prefer film or paper padding.

Can I stick an address label on a bubble envelope?

Yes. The outer kraft paper layer is a good surface where an address label sticks without any trouble.

Can bubble envelopes be printed?

Yes. We print in full CMYK colour across the whole outer surface, on white kraft paper - for vivid, saturated colours. Plain versions in brown or white kraft are also available.

Which bubble envelope size fits an A4 sheet?

An A4 sheet fits in a bubble envelope from size F16 upwards. Sizes range from small A6 formats for jewellery or USB sticks to larger ones for books or clothes - many of them fit parcel locker slots.
