What we like about Georgia Pacific: Three stock sizes of padded paper mailers.
Padded Paper Mailers
Lined with foam-like padding made from the same material that’s used to emake adhesive for boxes.
-
Kraft mailers have the feel of butcher paper, but the paper is typically thicker while still being flexible. These are made from two layers of kraft paper, lined with dots of adhesive. You may have received Amazon packages in these GP mailers.
Because these mailers are lined, pre-printing may be the only customization option, and only reserved for high volumes.
-
It’s unclear exactly what the foam liner is made from, but. it won’t inhibit the recyclability of these mailers because it will be sifted out in the recycling process.
GP claims these mailers are “sustainably source,” but you should ask for documentation on certifications (FSC or SFI) or any lifecycle analyses they can provide.
These mailers are not made from recycled paper, which might have been a decision for added durability. Virgin fiber has a better water barrier than recycled fiber, and it will be a slightly safer option for shipping in wet climates.
-
The best afterlife for most paper products — from collateral to boxes — is recycling. Most paper fibers can be recycled more than five times. Paper with tape or stickers can still be recycled, because non-paper materials are sifted out in the recycling process.
-
If printing is available, note that printed designs will take on the finish of the paper.
