Top Three Mailers for E-Commerce and Distribution

Are you an e-commerce or distribution company that is experiencing delays due to corrugate shortages? Then this post is for you! Recent studies have shown that the COVID-19 pandemic has pushed e-commerce into overdrive, boosting demand for corrugated cardboard shipping boxes and creating a problem for e-commerce companies[1]. Cardboard box packaging availability has shrunk by over 50% due to labour shortages and increase in demand, which is threatening many small to medium businesses.[2]

We can help resolve your corrugated cardboard shortage issues with a creative distribution packaging solution – use shrink wrap packaging to ship your products instead!

What Are Mailers?

Mailers are packaging envelopes that are specially designed for small to medium-sized products that need uncompromising protection. Coming in padded and rigid options, mailers encase the product in a defensive layer of material, typically in the form of cardboard or plastic.

 

Why Choose A Mailer

Imagine a packaging option that perfectly fit your products, guaranteed protection, and cost less than traditional packaging methods. That’s the packaging mailer.

On top of these benefits, mailers are far easier to store than alternatives, like boxes, and reduce the amount of material needed to pack an item. This drastically improves packaging efficiency and decreases material consumption for a more environmentally friendly alternative.

A 100% Recyclable and Sustainable Solution

While mailers make an excellent choice for packaging small to medium-sized products, not all mailer are made the same. The materials used and design of a mailer will greatly impact its effectiveness. That’s why Crawford Packaging is proud to offer the Jiffy Mailer®.

Recognized for their unquestionable performance, Jiffy® mailers have been a staple of the packaging industry for over 50 years. Cushioned, non-cushioned, rigid — Jiffy® mailers come in many forms, promising ultimate protection in every design.

Beyond their construction, Jiffy® mailers are also 100% recyclable. Since each envelope uses recycled paper fibre with 25% post-consumer content, they are easily recycled with mixed paper. Not only do Jiffy® mailers use less material than boxes, but they also remain entirely environmentally friendly.

There are many types of Jiffy® products, each offering unique benefits for specific product requirements.
