Bubble Mailer vs. Regular Shipping Materials

Posted on May 27, 2010 | Category: Office Trivia

Bubble mailers are a must for anyone who is shipping something whether fragile or important to someone far away. From documents, to CDs, DVDs, books, accessories, etc. you name it, the bubble mailer can bring it to its destination safely. The advantage of this over a regular shipping envelope is that it has a plastic bubble lining on the inside, adding additional shield and protection to the content.

Bubble mailers come in different shapes, the smallest ones are about 4×7’’ while the bigger ones go as big as 10×8.5’’. They are thicker than regular envelopes and are mostly waterproof. It has a self adhesive strip on the inside of the cover flap that can securely seal the opening. The outer part of the bubble mailer can be written on so you don’t have to worry about jotting down the information of the recipient. Sticking shipping labels on the envelope is as easy as sticking stickers on a notebook, so that too won’t be a problem.

Another advantage of using bubble mailers instead of boxes is that it is more cost efficient. Due to its light weight and smaller size, it would be cheaper and easier to transport. Even the bubble mailer itself is cheap; costing you not more than a dollar per piece, and you can keep a stock of these in your house or office without the trouble of taking too much space. So if ever you need to mail something on the spot, you can just reach out to your supplies closet and grab a bubble mailer.

If you have not used a bubble mailer for shipping yet, maybe you should consider using it now. It greatly tops the benefits of the regular shipping envelope, so much cheaper and smaller than shipping a box, and you can be sure that your item gets to its destination safe, wrinkle free, and in good condition.
