Grey Mailing Bags 28×30" (711×762 mm) – extra-wide capacity, quick to pack
Grey mailing bags 28×30" (711×762 mm) give you serious space for very wide textiles and large retail boxes while keeping parcels lightweight. Made from tough 60-micron recycled LDPE, they’re moisture-proof (water-resistant), opaque for privacy, and close fast with a self-seal strip.

Why choose 28×30"?
When 24×36" is too long but not quite wide enough, 28×30" adds the width you need for pillows, bulky bedding, cushions and wider boxed goods without jumping to heavy cartons. For extra length, consider 28×34".
Real use examples (what typically fits)
- Textiles & home: pillows, duvets in sleeves, large throws, curtains, cushion sets.
- Apparel & kits: multi-item clothing bundles, coats with inner wrap, bulky soft goods.
- Boxed goods: wide retail boxes, gift sets, equipment in inner padding.
Fit & packing guidance
- Best fit: very wide textiles, big soft goods, wide boxed items with padded corners.
- Need more length? Step up to 28×34".
- Need less bulk? Step down to 24×36", 21×24" or 20×26" for a neater seal and lower postage.
- Corner care: pad sharp inner-box edges to reduce punctures.
- Press out air: flatten before sealing so labels sit flat and sacks/totes stack cleanly.
Key benefits
- Self-seal, tamper-evident closure for rapid 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, uniform look.
- Recyclable LDPE — remove the glue strip before recycling.

Eco & Materials
Material: 100% recycled LDPE (resin code 4), co-extruded for strength and opacity. Recyclable in many UK schemes — please remove the adhesive strip first. Not biodegradable or compostable.
Strength & Protection
60-micron film is puncture- and tear-resistant and moisture-proof. The self-seal, tamper-evident adhesive forms a permanent bond once pressed.
Storage & Performance
Store at 13–21 °C and out of direct heat/sunlight. Let cold stock acclimatise before use to maintain adhesive performance.
Lightweight = Lower Postage
Recycled LDPE mailers are exceptionally lightweight, helping you keep parcels in lower weight bands versus boxes.

- Add invoices/returns in a clear document wallet outside the bag.
