Why this 10×14" size is a best-seller

The neutral grey finish hides marks and contents, keeping parcels professional in appearance. Fits within Royal Mail Small Parcel guidelines, making it a reliable choice for e-commerce shipping.
Who it’s ideal for
- Apparel & merch: T-shirts, leggings, single lightweight jumpers, gym tops, kids’ clothing.
- Books & print: A4 brochures, photo books in sleeves, catalogues, planners, diaries.
- Beauty & accessories: boxed cosmetics, small gift sets, belts, caps, scarves.
- Stationery & craft: A4 pads, folders, pattern packs, small kits and components.
- Marketplace sellers: fast, clean packaging for high-turnover A4 orders.
Fit & packing guidance (choose the right size first time)
- Best fit: single tee, thin knit, A4 book with a sleeve, boxed cosmetics, stationery bundles.
- If it’s bulky: jumpers or stacked apparel may fit better in 12×16".
- If it’s slim: for document-only or very small apparel, try 9×12" to remove void space.
- Corner care: add a light wrap to inner boxes to reduce punctures at sharp edges.
- Flatten air: press out trapped air before sealing so labels sit flat and parcels stack neatly.
- Mailing bag size tip: This 10×14" bag fits comfortably within Royal Mail Small Parcel dimensions, helping you reduce postage costs on A4 orders.

Eco & Materials
Material: 100% recycled LDPE (resin code 4), co-extruded for strength and opacity. Recyclable in many UK soft-plastic schemes — please remove the adhesive strip first. These bags are not biodegradable or compostable.
Strength & Protection
60 µm co-extruded film is puncture- and tear-resistant and moisture-proof. The self-seal, tamper-evident adhesive forms a permanent bond once pressed, keeping contents secure from dispatch to delivery.
Storage & Performance
Store bags at 13–21 °C and out of direct heat or sunlight. Let cold stock acclimatise to room temperature before use to maintain adhesive performance.
Lightweight = Lower Postage
Our recycled LDPE mailers are exceptionally lightweight, helping you keep parcels in lower weight bands versus boxes — a simple way to cut postal costs without losing protection.
Size comparison (pick the best fit for each order)
| Size | Inches | Millimetres | Typical fit |
|---|---|---|---|
| Step down | 9 × 12" | 229 × 305 mm | A4 with room, single tee, boxed cosmetics |
| This page | 10 × 14" | 254 × 355 mm | A4 bundles, thin knits, books, apparel sets |

Packing tips to save time and reduce damages
- Use a light inner sleeve for dusty or powder-prone items.
- Fold garments flat; avoid hard creases that create sharp corners.
- Apply labels on a smooth, clean area; press firmly for reliable scanning.
- Add invoices/returns in a clear document wallet on the outside.
Buying guide: choosing the right grey mailing bag size
Picking the correct mailing bag helps reduce costs and improve presentation. A 9×12" bag suits A4 papers, magazines or single T-shirts, while a 10×14" size is ideal for thicker books, jumpers or padded apparel. For bulkier orders, step up to 12×16" to stay within Royal Mail Small Parcel limits. Always flatten air before sealing and store bags flat to keep adhesive performance high.
Build a complete packing setup
Team your grey mailing bags 10×14" with packaging tape for inner cartons, Document Wallets for paperwork, and cardboard boxes when rigid protection is needed. For more colours and sizes, see the full Mailing Bags collection.
