Grey Mailing Bags 14×21" (356×533 mm) – reliable space for jackets & textiles
Grey mailing bags 14×21" (356×533 mm) give extra room for jackets, thicker knits, textiles and larger A4 bundles while keeping parcels lightweight. Made from 60-micron, 100% recycled LDPE, they’re moisture-proof (water-resistant), opaque for privacy, and close fast with a tamper-evident self-seal strip.

Why this 14×21" size?
When 13×19" starts to feel tight, 14×21" adds length and a little width for outerwear, textile sets, and retail boxes that don’t need a rigid carton. If you’re packing bulkier bedding, step up to 17×24". For coats or multi-item bundles, consider 15×18" (wider) or 17×24" (bigger overall).
Real use examples (what typically fits)
- Apparel: jackets, thick knitwear, sweat sets, stacked tees.
- Textiles: throws, cushion covers, towel sets in sleeves.
- Boxed goods: larger books/catalogues, retail kits with padded corners.
Fit & packing guidance
- Best fit: outerwear, textile sets, larger A4 packs, bulkier apparel.
- If it strains at the seal: move up to 17×24".
- If it’s roomy: step down to 13×19" to cut void space and postage.
- Corner care: pad or round inner-box edges to reduce punctures.
- Press out air: flatten before sealing so labels stick flat and sacks stack neatly.
Key benefits
- Self-seal, tamper-evident closure for fast, secure packing.
- 60-micron co-extruded film helps resist tears, splits and scuffs.
- Moisture-proof / water-resistant outer for wet routes.
- Opaque grey for privacy and a clean, professional look.
- Recyclable LDPE — remove the glue strip before recycling.

Eco & Materials
Film: 60 µm, 100% recycled LDPE (code 4). Recyclable in many UK schemes — please remove the adhesive strip first. Not biodegradable or compostable.
Strength & Protection
Co-extruded film for puncture and tear resistance. The self-seal adhesive forms a permanent bond once pressed. The opaque grey finish hides contents and looks tidy on arrival.
Storage & Performance
Store at 13–21 °C out of direct heat/sunlight. Let cold stock acclimatise before use for best adhesive performance.
Lightweight = Lower Postage
LDPE mailers are exceptionally lightweight versus cartons, helping you stay in lower weight bands when the product doesn’t need a rigid box.
