Buying Guide

Match mailer size to book dimensions

Choose a mailer slightly larger than your book to avoid bending; options shown range from compact 7.5x10.5 in to large 19x24 in for oversized formats

Prefer tear- and waterproof materials

Poly mailers resist moisture and tearing better than paper, which helps protect books during transit and handling

Check closure type for speed and security

Peel-and-seal or self-sealing closures speed packing and reduce the need for tape, improving throughput for bulk shipping

Buy pack sizes for your shipping volume

Bulk-pack options (hundreds to a thousand) lower per-unit cost and reduce ordering frequency for high-volume book shippers

Balance weight and protection

Lightweight poly mailers minimize postage but offer less cushioning than padded options, so add internal protection for fragile or collectible books
