These 420x594mm compostable mailing bags are best suited for shipping light small, medium and large items. They’re the perfect alternative to plastic mailers — they have the same functionality without the environmental drawbacks of plastic-based packaging. Our mailers aren’t designed to last forever but are guaranteed to get your products from A to B safely, securely and sustainably.
If you’re using plastic mailing bags, our compostable mailers make it easy for your brand to transition to more environmentally friendly packaging. They make a worthy addition to any packaging operation thanks to their versatility and ease of use. They’re supplied with a detachable peel-and-seal closure for easy packing and unpacking (this must be removed before composting).

Compostable Mailing Bags with Eco-Friendly Credentials
Our eco-friendly mailing bags stay true to their word — they don’t last forever. Our mailing bags are made from PBAT and PLA derived from cornstarch. These natural compounds are commonly used to create 100% compostable and biodegradable materials. They can be composted in a home environment and a commercial facility (except for the peel and seal strip, which must be removed). In an ideal composting environment, they will biodegrade completely within 90 days. The process will take approximately six months in an ordinary or microbial environment, such as buried in soil.

Eco-Friendly Mailing Bags: Storage and Accreditation
Since these mailing bags are made using organic materials, they will degrade naturally under the right conditions. They need to be stored correctly to prolong their life while not in use. These compostable mailing bags can remain in cartons in a cool, dry warehouse for about a year. Avoid storing these bags in sunlight or at high temperatures. As a rule of thumb, we recommend a storage temperature range of 10-40°C.
