Honeycomb padded mailers: plastic-free padded envelopes
Honeycomb padded mailers are paper padded envelopes lined with expandable honeycomb paper instead of plastic bubble. The honeycomb layer cushions small items in transit, the self-seal strip closes quickly, and the whole mailer is paper, so it suits brands moving to plastic-free packaging. Seven sizes from 125 x 160mm (E0) to 360 x 480mm (E7).
