Measure the internal product dimensions and allow for cartons or inner packs. Below are common codes (guide only).
| Code | Approx. internal (mm) | Typical contents | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| A/000 | 110 × 160 | Cables, jewellery, small parts | Often letterbox-friendly |
| D/1 | 170 × 245 | Mobiles, cosmetics, boxed accessories | Popular small-parcel size |
| E/2 | 220 × 265 | Tablets, slim books, small kits | Add a stiffener sheet if needed |
| G/4 | 240 × 330 | Headphones, apparel basics, components | Good all-rounder for eCom |
| H/5 | 270 × 360 | Boxed tech, bundles | For heavier items, consider boxes |
Right-size: choose a snug mailer to limit movement; oversized bags can crush.
Corner care: for books/media, switch to book wraps or add a stiffener.
Seal cleanly: use peel & seal; press firmly along the entire flap; add a tamper label if needed.
Printer Address Labels for clear addressing, Documents Enclosed Wallets for invoices, and Cardboard Envelopes for rigid items.
For larger consignments, step up to single wall or double wall boxes.
Airkraft® uses an internal bubble layer, offering light cushioning with the lowest mailing weight. Jiffy® Padded uses dense paper-fibre padding that resists crush and edge knocks better for heavier, denser contents.
Performance is equivalent. Gold gives a traditional kraft look and hides scuffs; White looks premium and improves label/barcode contrast for scanners.
It incorporates recycled content in the cushioning while keeping a label-friendly paper outer—chosen by brands that want lower-impact plastics without sacrificing the convenience of bubble mailers.
For small, non-brittle items—yes. For glass/ceramics or sharp corners, use book wraps or boxes with internal cushioning.
Local rules vary. Mixed paper/plastic construction may require separation. If easy kerbside recycling is a priority, consider paper-only board envelopes or paper mailers.
Match internal dimensions to the product’s packed size. When between codes, choose the smaller if compressible (textiles) or the larger if boxed/rigid to avoid stress on seams.
Yes—both kraft and white outers take printed labels reliably. For high-speed packing, use printer address labels; wipe off dust before application.
Right-size the mailer, immobilise contents with inner wraps or trays, add a stiffener for flats, and seal firmly end-to-end. Consider Jiffy® Padded for dense/heavier items.
