Kraft Padded Mailers
Kraft padded mailers use a kraft paper exterior with fiber padding to add protection around compatible products. The current category is a narrower selection than the self-seal assortment and includes several kraft sizes. 1. Choose the mailer from product width, length, and thickness. A mailer that looks large enough when flat can become tight once product thickness is added. 2. Match padding to product sensitivity. Fiber padding helps with surface contact and light handling but does not turn a flexible mailer into a rigid shipping box. 3. Protect sharp or rigid corners. Use additional wrapping or a different package when edges can puncture or stress the envelope. 4. Check the closure on the exact SKU. Closure features vary across padded-mailer families, so use the product record rather than assuming every kraft padded mailer closes the same way. Padded kraft mailers are useful for books, documents, media, samples, parts, and similar products when a flexible package with an internal padding layer fits the shipping risk. The right choice depends on the product, not just postage or package weight. Heavier, fragile, high-value, or sharp-edged items may require a corrugated mailer or box even when they physically fit inside a padded envelope.

They provide a padding layer, but fragile products may still need a rigid package or additional protection. Leave extra width and length so the product loads without stretching the seams or interfering with the closure.
