Grey Mailing Bags 17×24" (432×610 mm) – extra-large capacity for bulky textiles and boxed goods

Grey mailing bags 17×24" (432×610 mm) give you serious room for bedding sets, pillows, large textiles and mid-sized boxed products while keeping parcels lightweight. Made from tough 60-micron LDPE, these self-seal postal bags are moisture-proof (water-resistant) and opaque for privacy, so big orders stay tidy from packing bench to doorstep.

Why this 17×24" size?

When 15×18" starts to strain, 17×24" adds space without forcing a move to heavy cartons. It’s ideal for bulkier apparel bundles, duvet covers and bedding, throws, and larger gift sets in inner boxes — all with fast peel-and-seal packing and clean presentation in neutral grey.

Real use examples (what typically fits)

• Textiles & home: bedding sets, pillows, throws, towel bundles, large cushion covers.
• Apparel: winter coats, multi-item clothing stacks, knitwear bundles.
• Boxed goods: mid-size retail boxes, gift sets, components with inner wrap.
• Print & fulfilment: catalogues, bulk A4+/tabloid packs with sleeves.

Fit & packing guidance

• Best fit: bedding/textiles, stacked apparel, larger boxed kits.
• Too tight? Step up to 20×26".
• Too roomy? Step down to 15×18" for a neater seal and lower postage.
• Corner care: pad sharp inner-box edges to reduce punctures.
• Flatten air: press out air 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.
• Lightweight versus boxes — save on postage and storage space.
• Recyclable LDPE — please remove the glue strip before recycling.

Specifications

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. These bags are not biodegradable or compostable.

Strength & Protection

60-micron co-extruded film is puncture- and tear-resistant and moisture-proof. The self-seal, tamper-evident all-season adhesive forms a permanent bond once pressed, helping contents stay 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 (choose the right bag for each order)

For the widest range, keep 15×18" on hand for smaller bulky items and step up to 20×26" (or 24×36") for very large packs.

Packing tips to save time and reduce damages

• Use a light inner sleeve for dusty or powder-prone items.
• Fold textiles/apparel 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.
