FAQs
1. Where to Buy Mailing Bags in the UK?
🚨 Warning for Amazon & eBay Sellers:

-
💰 Cheapest Prices – No middleman fees = direct wholesale rates
-
🚚 Next-Day Delivery – Reliable UK-based supplier
-
🔄 Always in Stock – No risk of Amazon/eBay stockouts

2. What Size Mailing Bag Fits Royal Mail Large Letter?
A Royal Mail Large Letter can fit inside a mailing bag with dimensions up to 353mm x 250mm x 25mm. The best mailing bag size for sending items as a Royal Mail Large Letter is typically 9 x 12 inch (22.9cm x 30.5cm) and 10×14 Inches (25.4×35.6cm). Here is a breakdown:
Royal Mail Large Letter Size Limits:
-
Max Dimensions: 35.3cm (L) x 25cm (W) x 2.5cm (D)
-
Max Weight: 750g
-
Key Rule: If your package exceeds 2.5cm thickness, it becomes a "Small Parcel" (costs more!).
Best Mailing Bag Sizes for Royal Mail Large Letter
Option 1: 9×12 Inches (22.9×30.5cm)
✔ Fits snugly within Large Letter limits
✔ Ideal for: A4 documents, thin clothing, books
✔ Best for: Minimizing postage costs
Option 2: 10×14 Inches (25.4×35.6cm)
⚠ Slightly over width (25.4cm vs. Royal Mail’s 25cm max)
✔ Still usable if underfilled (bag compresses to fit)
✔ Better for bulkier items (but risk Small Parcel upgrade)
Which Should You Choose?
Size | Inches | Centimetres | Fits Large Letter? | Best For |
---|---|---|---|---|
9×12 | 9" x 12" | 22.9 x 30.5cm | ✅ Yes (safe choice) | A4 docs, flat items |
10×14 | 10" x 14" | 25.4 x 35.6cm | ⚠ Risky (may need compression) | Slightly thicker items |
Mr Bags Recommendation:
-
Stick with 9×12" (22.9×30.5cm) for guaranteed Large Letter pricing.
-
Need flexibility? 10×14" can work if under 2.5cm thick when packed.
(Pro Tip: Use a rigid envelope for extra protection without adding bulk!)

3. Is It Cheaper to Mail Bags or Boxes?
Mailing bags are generally much cheaper than boxes, especially for lightweight and non-fragile items. Mailing bags or Postage bags take less space and are lighter, which lowers the postal costs. However, mailing boxes can help protect your items and carry heavier weight.
Here’s the real cost breakdown for UK sellers:
📦 Mailing Bags vs. Boxes: Cost Comparison
Feature | Mailing Bags | Boxes | Winner |
---|---|---|---|
Price (per unit) | £0.05–£0.20 | £0.50–£2.00 | Bags |
Weight | Ultra-light (5–50g) | Heavy (100–500g) | Bags |
Royal Mail Large Letter | ✅ Fits (cheaper) | ❌ Usually too thick | Bags |
Small Parcel Rate | ❌ Rarely needed | ✅ Required for most | Boxes |
Fragile Protection | Basic | Excellent | Boxes |
Key Takeaways:
-
Bags are 50–80% cheaper for small, non-fragile items (e.g., clothing, books).
-
Boxes only make sense for heavy/fragile goods (e.g., ceramics, electronics).
-
Large Letter vs. Small Parcel? A 500g item in a bag often costs £1.20 (Large Letter), while the same in a box jumps to £2.85+ (Small Parcel).
When to Use Each?
✔ Use Mailing Bags If:
-
Your item is under 2.5cm thick and ≤750g.
-
You sell soft goods (apparel, accessories, paper products).
-
Every penny counts (e.g., eBay/Amazon low-margin items).
✔ Use Boxes If:
-
Your product is fragile or rigid (glass, tech, ceramics).
-
You need branded unboxing experiences.
-
It won’t fit Royal Mail’s Large Letter dimensions.
