Why 14×21" is a UK favourite
This mid-large size bridges the gap between 13×19" and 17×24", offering reliable space for jackets, knits, towels, textile sets and A3+ documents. It’s perfect when you need extra room but want to stay within affordable postage bands. The neutral grey film hides contents, resists scuffs, and maintains a clean, professional delivery look.
Who it’s ideal for
- Apparel & outerwear: jackets, jumpers, sweat sets, heavy knitwear.
- Textiles & home: cushion covers, towel sets, throws, bedding sleeves.
- Retail & gifts: boxed kits, catalogues, larger A4 bundles.
- Marketplace sellers: eBay, Amazon and Shopify merchants dispatching varied parcel sizes daily.
Fit & packing guidance
- Best fit: jackets, textile sets, A4+ bundles, boxed gifts, multi-item apparel.
- If it feels tight: step up to 17×24".
- If it feels roomy: step down to 13×19".
- Corner care: pad sharp box edges to avoid punctures.
- Press out air: flatten before sealing for neat, stackable parcels.
Key benefits
- Self-seal, tamper-evident closure — fast, secure and tape-free.
- 60-micron co-extruded film — strong, tear and puncture resistant.
- Water-resistant protection — guards against rain and damp.
- Opaque grey — privacy and a clean, professional look.
- Lightweight — saves on postage and storage space.
- Recyclable LDPE (code 4) — remove glue strip before recycling.
Eco & materials
Material: 100% recycled LDPE (code 4), co-extruded for strength and opacity. Recyclable in most UK supermarket soft-plastic return points. Not biodegradable or compostable — designed for durability and reprocessing.
Strength & protection
The 60-micron film resists punctures, scuffs and courier friction. Its tamper-evident adhesive seal forms a permanent bond once pressed, protecting contents through warehouse and transit handling.
Storage & performance
Store bags flat between 13–21 °C away from direct sunlight or heaters. Let cold stock reach room temperature before sealing for consistent adhesive performance.
Lightweight = lower postage
Our grey mailing bags are exceptionally light, helping you stay in lower Royal Mail weight brackets versus cardboard boxes — ideal for bulk clothing and textile dispatch.
