Paper mailing envelopes: a smart choice for efficient and sustainable shipping
Whether you are shipping clothes, documents or other compact products; paper mailing envelopes are an ideal solution. They combine environmental friendliness, ease of use and efficiency. In this blog, you will read why more and more companies are switching to this sustainable alternative to plastic shipping solutions and how to get the most out of them.
Ecological shipping: small gesture, big difference
Paper mailing envelopes are an eco-friendly alternative to plastic. They are made from renewable resources and are easy to recycle. At Marisan, you can choose a paper mailing bag with one or two adhesive strips. A second adhesive strip allows your customers to reuse the envelope in the event of a return. That means less waste and less tape: win-win!
Moreover, mailing envelopes are more efficient than shipping boxes. They take up less space during transport and save weight, thus reducing your fuel consumption. This makes them not only more environmentally friendly, but also cost-effective for your business. On top of that, small variants fit easily in the letterbox, hooray!
A personal touch: printed mailing envelopes
Want to make your brand stand out? Paper mailing envelopes can be personalised with your logo, colours or a unique message. This enhances your branding and ensures a professional appearance. Printed envelopes are available from 2,000 pieces onwards. Show your customers that you pay attention to detail and sustainability!
An important tip from Bpost
Not everything is rosy. Paper mailing envelopes also have disadvantages. For instance, brown paper mailing envelopes are less readable for the sorting machines of parcel services, such as Bpost. Therefore, they recommend using a white label with the recipient's address details on such dark shipping bags. One to remember!
