We also stock paper mailing bags, an environmentally friendly alternative to polythene. Our paper mailers still boast a waterproof design and are high functioning meaning they hold their own against their polythene cousin. These recyclable and biodegradable mailing bags are available in 1 or 2 ply depending on the application, and with a range of sizes to choose from.

Returnable Paper Mailing Bags 

Our returnable paper mailing bags are made from sustainably sourced brown kraft paper and are 100% recyclable. Designed for reliable protection and easy returns, these mailers are the perfect alternative for vendors seeking ‘green’ solutions.

Eco Mailing Bags 

We should, as individuals and as a society, look to lower our carbon footprint where possible. This makes our green alternative to polythene mailing bags an attractive option. Kite’s eco mailing bags are produced from sugar cane and are fully recyclable. Made from strong 50-micron material, they contain the same properties as standard oil derived polythene meaning no compromise on the strength, quality, or appearance.

Weather Resistant Mailing Bags

Our durable and secure heavy-duty bags ensure your item/s reach their destination in optimal condition; whilst ensuring purchase confidentiality.
