Product Information
Full details
The Kraft Padded Honeycomb Mailing Envelope is a versatile, eco-friendly shipping solution designed for small business owners and frequent shippers who prioritize sustainability without sacrificing item protection. Its primary benefit is the innovative honeycomb interior that replaces traditional plastic bubble wrap, offering structural cushioning for fragile goods; however, users should note that while durable, it is best suited for lightweight items rather than heavy, sharp-edged objects.

FAQs
Can I recycle these envelopes?
Yes, because the internal structure is paper-based, the entire envelope is typically accepted in standard paper recycling streams.
Does it need extra tape?
No, the integrated peel-and-seal strip is designed to be secure enough for standard transit without additional tape.
What is the maximum size item I can fit?
The envelope measures 135x225mm, and the 40mm gusset allows for items with a thickness up to approximately 35-40mm.
Are these envelopes waterproof?
No, these are made from kraft paper and offer no moisture resistance.
Can I ship heavy glass items in these?
While the honeycomb structure offers cushioning, it is designed for lightweight items. For heavy glass, a rigid cardboard box with additional padding is recommended.
Troubleshooting
Adhesive strip is not sticking properly
Ensure the envelope flap and the target surface are free from dust or debris before pressing. Apply firm pressure across the entire seal.
Envelope feels damp
The envelope is made of paper and is not waterproof. Keep all packages in a dry holding area until they are collected by the courier.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your shipments arrive safely, follow these guidelines:
- Preparation: Place your item in the center of the envelope to allow the edges to seal flat.
- Sealing: Peel the protective strip from the adhesive backing and fold the flap firmly over the top. Press along the entire length of the seal to ensure full contact.
- Compatibility: Ideal for lightweight items up to 135x225mm. Ensure items with sharp edges are wrapped in a protective layer of tissue paper to avoid snagging the inner honeycomb structure.
- Storage: Store envelopes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and humidity to keep the adhesive strip fresh and prevent the kraft paper from becoming brittle.
