Grey Mailing Bags 10×14" (254×355 mm) – A4-friendly, fast to pack, built for daily dispatch
Grey mailing bags 10×14" (254×355 mm) are one of the UK’s most in-demand sizes for e-commerce. They fit A4 items with room, make quick work of apparel orders, and keep postage weights low. Made from tough 60-micron LDPE, these self-seal postal bags are water-resistant and opaque for privacy. The peel-and-seal strip closes in seconds, helping busy packing benches maintain speed without sacrificing protection.
Why this 10×14" size is a best-seller
Sitting just above A4, 10×14" gives you enough spare room for a folded garment, a brochure pack, or an A4 folder with inserts—without tipping parcels into heavier weight bands. The neutral grey finish looks tidy and professional; it hides contents and minimises scuffs in transit. When packed sensibly, this footprint often suits common small-parcel services, making it a dependable everyday choice across fashion, lifestyle and stationery categories.
Who it’s ideal for
- Apparel & merch: T-shirts, leggings, single lightweight jumpers, gym tops, kids’ clothing.
- Books & print: A4 brochures, photo books in sleeves, catalogues, planners, diaries.
- Beauty & accessories: boxed cosmetics, small gift sets, belts, caps, scarves.
- Stationery & craft: A4 pads, folders, pattern packs, small kits and components.
- Marketplace sellers: fast, clean packaging for high-turnover A4 orders.
Fit & packing guidance (choose the right size first time)
- Best fit: single tee, thin knit, A4 book with a sleeve, boxed cosmetics, stationery bundles.
- If it’s bulky: jumpers or stacked apparel may fit better in 12×16".
- If it’s slim: for document-only or very small apparel, try 9×12" to remove void space.
- Corner care: add a light wrap to inner boxes to reduce punctures at sharp edges.
- Flatten air: press out trapped air before sealing so labels sit flat and parcels stack neatly.

Strength, protection and presentation
The 60-micron film gives real-world durability without unnecessary weight. It helps protect against split seams and scuffed corners, and it holds shape through sorting machinery.

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