Manila Mailers

Manila mailers are some of the most trusted tools in personal and commercial shipping. A padded manila envelope is resistant to tears and hides its contents from prying eyes. Choosing the right manila bubble mailer helps you feel confident that packages will arrive safely and on time. Browse Staples listings to find envelopes of different dimensions, closing methods and designs.

Keep Package Contents Private With Manila Envelopes
Manila envelopes are generally made from kraft paper, a paper that is thicker and slightly heavier than conventional envelopes. This feature, in combination with the color of the envelope, ensures that your shipments remain private. From checks and personal documents to high-value items, many mailings benefit from this feature. The additional padding built into the envelopes further obscures a package's contents.

Protect Documents and Items From the Elements
Packages often come into contact with rain, snow and other elements while in transit. Manila envelopes help packages remain intact until they reach their final destination. The thick paper and additional padding resist tearing and crumbling caused by water exposure. This feature is a high priority when shipping checks, identification documents and other irreplaceable items.

Different Size Options fit any Package
Padded manila envelopes come in different sizes, ensuring that professionals can safely ship large items and documents. With small envelope options, users can minimize their shipping costs and choose an envelope that provides just enough space for their products. Envelopes are often numbered from size 000 to size 7. Dimensions vary slightly within each number since some brands measure usable interior space and others measure outside dimensions. Envelopes in the size 000 category often measure about 4 inches x 8 inches, while size 7 envelopes measure about 14 inches x 19 inches. In the middle, there are other options that suit documents and items of differing sizes. Some models are tailored to fit specific items, such as media envelopes that fit CDs and DVDs.

How Much Padding is Built Into Envelopes?
A manila bubble mailer balances the need for package protection with the need for lightweight, streamlined packaging. Most bubble mailers have just under 0.2 inches of padding covering the entire interior of each envelope.

Are Bulk Ordering Options Available?
Whether a company is doing a one-off shipment or it sends multiple shipments on a weekly basis, there are envelope packs that fit every need. Small packs have between six envelopes and 25 envelopes. Midsized packs have up to 150 envelopes. Bulk packs make it easy to order up to 500 envelopes at one time. Many items qualify for Staples Auto Restock, taking one more task off your to-do list.

How are Manila Padded Envelopes Sealed?
Sturdy sealing options offer another layer of protection to an envelope's contents. The majority of manila bubble mailer options are self-sealing. Users remove the adhesive strip and fold the flap over to seal it. However, some brands produce open-ended envelopes. After filling the envelope, users can tape or staple it shut or use a heated closing method.
