Poly Mailer Bags

Poly mailer bags are lightweight, flexible, and ideal for shipping products that don’t require rigid protection. At Rutan Poly, we manufacture custom poly mailers that combine durability, printability, and performance—all made to order.

Whether you’re shipping clothing, promotional kits, or soft goods, we’ll build a mailer that fits your exact size, material, and branding needs.

Plastic Mailer Bags

What Are Poly Mailers?

Poly mailer bags are durable plastic envelopes made from polyethylene film. They’re moisture-resistant, tamper-evident, and cost-effective for direct-to-consumer shipping — especially for non-fragile items.

Common uses include:

  • Apparel and accessories

  • Subscription boxes and promotional kits

  • E-commerce shipments

  • Literature, documents, and flat-pack items

Most mailers can be made with tamper-proof adhesive closures, custom printing, and optional perforations for easy opening.

Mailer Styles We Offer

All styles below can be custom-manufactured to fit your dimensions, closure type, color, and print:

  • Clearview poly mailers – With a transparent panel to show contents

  • Layflat poly mailers – Simple flat mailers, ideal for apparel and paperwork

  • Compostable poly mailers – Plant-based film available upon request

  • Bubble mailers – Padded with bubble lining for added protection

  • Tyvek poly mailers – Lightweight and tear-resistant for documents or durable items
