Mailing Bags - Polythene Postage Bags

From experience we know that this type of polythene postage bag is becoming more popular and it's not hard to see why.  Lightweight and easy to use, they have been used by catalogue and mail order companies for many years as they provide a cheap, yet reliable way of sending items safely.  Many postage bags have a tamper proof peel and seal strip meaning that once the address has either been written onto the bag or a label has been stuck on and the bag has been sealed it is easily evident if the bag has been tampered with.  The bags have a high burst resistance and do not rip or tear easily, in fact they generally have to be cut open carefully when received.
As with most types of packaging, there are a few things to watch out for when purchasing this type of packaging.  We are pleased with the many positive comments and repeat buyers Hazel Valley packaging has for this product, (the postage bags that Hazel Valley Packaging provides are strong, robust and have an extra strong tamper proof peel and seal strip, and were manufactured especially for us to suit your needs best), and are pleased to present our own mini guide to polythene postage bags!
Opacity.  Make sure that the bags you purchase are opaque.
 This means that they cannot be seen through, so once packed the contents cannot be seen.
Most postage bags are opaque however if you are in any doubt ask before you purchase.
Thickness of polythene used.  If you see these for sale and they are advertised as being 55 mu or above, these are generally thick enough and robust enough to stand our postage system!
Tamper proof peel and seal strip.  Make sure that the seal really is tamper proof.  On some postage bags the glue used for the strip isn't very adhesive.  If in doubt we do sell a sample pack of most of the mailing bags we stock and test before you buy larger quantities


Grip Seal Bags

Grip seal are made of clear plastic and can be used time and time again because of the unique snap shut seal feather on the grip seal bag. They are also called Mini grip bags, Zip Lock bags and Self Seal bags.

Grip-seal bags can also be used to store important letters or documents the 9 x 12.75 are ideal for this purpose these grip seal bags fit A4 size paper. Grip seal bags also come with a white panel on one side of the grip-seal bag for you to write the contents of bags.

When sending clothes, lingerie or other small items use white acid free tissue paper to wrap your items in.  It only takes a few more minutes to wrap your item carefully in acid free tissue paper and will create a much better impression of you and your packaging. 
Acid free tissue paper will not harm clothing and can be used to safely protect even small fragile items.  White acid free tissue paper can be safely used to wrap many items, and is available in many different sizes.  When purchasing acid free tissue paper, try to choose the correct size for the items you will be packaging.  It is not easy to cut neatly, and can tear or rip easily.

Of course white acid free tissue paper is not the only coloured tissue paper available.  There are also many different coloured tissue papers available, and it is nice to take the time and effort to package items thoughtfully by for example using cerise pink tissue paper for lingerie, women's clothing or girls items.  However if you are using coloured tissue paper, make sure that you purchase acid free tissue paper.  Ordinary tissue paper may stain, leach or mark clothes or other items, especially if it gets wet.
