Product Information

Full details

Mail Lite Tuff Padded Envelopes are ideal for small businesses and individuals shipping items that require extra protection. Their primary benefit is the combination of lightweight design with robust cushioning, leading to potential savings on postage and reduced risk of damage during transit. A caveat is that while water-resistant, they are not fully waterproof, so extreme conditions might still pose a risk. These envelopes feature a self-seal closure, a white, writeable surface, and AirCap bubble lining for shock absorption.

FAQs

What are the external dimensions of the envelope?

The external width is 371 mm. The external height is not explicitly stated but is larger than the interior height of 470 mm to accommodate the flap.

How many envelopes are included in a pack?

Each pack typically includes 50 padded envelopes.

Can I write directly on the envelope?

Yes, the white outer surface is designed to be compatible with handwriting, printing, and stamp adhesion.

Are these envelopes completely waterproof?

No, they are water-resistant, offering protection against light moisture and dampness, but not against prolonged immersion or heavy rain.

What is the primary material of the envelope?

The primary material is Polyethylene, lined with AirCap protective bubble film.

How do I seal the envelope?

The envelopes feature a self-seal strip. Simply peel off the protective backing and press the flap down firmly to create a secure seal.

Are these suitable for very fragile items?

They offer good shock resistance due to the bubble lining, but for extremely fragile items, consider adding extra internal padding or using a sturdier outer box.

Troubleshooting

Self-seal strip not adhering

Ensure the sealing surface is clean and dry. Press firmly along the entire length of the seal for at least 10 seconds.

Envelope arrived damaged

While designed for protection, extreme handling can occur. For sensitive items, consider additional internal padding or a more rigid outer box.

Content arrived wet

The envelopes are water-resistant, not waterproof. For items requiring absolute protection from water, use a waterproof inner bag or a fully sealed plastic container.

Labeling issues (ink smudging)

Allow ink or marker to dry completely before handling. For printing, ensure your printer settings are optimized for envelope stock.
