ValueMailers100-10x13PM 2.5 Mil Poly Mailers Envelopes Bags, 10x13-inch, 100 Bags, White

Poly mailers are so useful if you ship a lot of items.These particular ones are a nice smaller size, very handy. I love the poly bags for shipping stuff as they minimize the total shipping weight of packages compared to boxes...I can't hardly believe I ever used to ship in boxes...well they're great for breakables but for anything fabric, soft, lightweight, indestructible, poly mailers are the way to go.I've been very pleased with my orders of these. They take up very little room in my desk drawer. A stack of these, the 100 pack is only about an inch tall....my stacks of cardboard boxes would be a few feet high and no way could I store them in my desk drawer!!!These are so lightweight that they register as 0.1 oz on my shipping scale, that's like nothing to the shipping weight.I also find them quite sturdy. I was nervous as first when I switched to poly mailers but I have had no issues. They seem pretty strong for what is basically a tough little plastic bag with sealer strip.When I run out again I'll be ordering more again.A couple tips if you're new to shipping with these sorts of bags. You can use a cardboard insert to make a sturdy shipping package, like if you're shipping photos or prints or something.You can use bubble wrap around your item for extra cushioning, basically creating your own bubble mailer as well.Only more affordable and you have the flexibility of shipping your items the way that suits them best.Oh and if you have an itty bitty box that's too small for adhering the online purchased postage to (grrr, I didn't realize when I invested in some super small cardboard boxes that they didn't meet USPS guidelines for surface area for the postage) you can just stick one of those inside the poly mailer. Great for shipping little breakables etc.

Its great product & I used this product for long time. i really like this product

I usually use two of them when I ship something. For some reason u got the impression that these were bubble mailers from the picture. I didn't read the description as carefully as I should have. They do the job. The only problem I sometimes have is the plastic strip that peels off to reveal the adhesive will sometimes pull apart while handling the envelopes and they stick to each other. Just handle them carefully and watch how you pick them up. The adhesive is nice and strong and stays in place. No extra tape is needed like some "self adhesive" envelopes. I probably would not buy again due to the type of items I ship: it's more practical to use bubble mailers. These are great for items that don't need any protection during shipment. They are secure and you cannot see thru them at all. Good buy for the price. I still use these quite often.

These bags are great for shipping clothing and soft goods. They hold up to the rigors of the postal system and are the right size for t-shirts, etc.

These mailers are fantastic. The only reason I left one star off of them is because they are very thin and flimsy. However, don't assume that means they're cheap. They seem to be durable and fine. They just don't file easily in my cabinet with my other stiff envelopes. But since they are thin, I can store a lot more of them in the same space, so in that area the thinness is a bonus. They seal very easily and securely. I have only used a couple of them so far, but they're great. If you're thinking of buying some like this, I would highly recommend them unless you need a stiff envelope for some reason. I've actually stuffed things in them, folded them over and taped, which worked very well. Just a tip. The company I bought from sent them quickly, and I had no problems. I would definitely recommend this seller and the bags themselves. THANK YOU!!

We have just placed our 11th order of the '500 10x13 PLUS 100 9x12 PINK' combo from ValueMailers and continue to be happy with the bags. The bags have always been the thick poly mailers and remain durable shipping products all over the country. The only problem we have had is one batch had some smashed bugs on them (around 3% of the bags). It looked like they were packed in a factory with small gnats that got caught up in them during the production process. This has only happened in one out of ten orders, so haven't worried about it. We have tried other sellers on Amazon with lower prices, but those bags have all been thinner, tear easily or have a slick feeling to them, which has caused damaged in mail scanners.

I thought the expansion was on the sides also and not just the bottom -so it is not big enough for what I am trying to replace

These mailers are great for shipping most items. I've shipped clothes and small boxes in them. The prize was great at about $0.10 for each mailer and I can fit just about anything I need to ship. I used to ship mainly in bubble mailers, but for items that don't need the extra protection, it's cheaper to use ship using these. I would personally recommend shipping first class mail packages in these, since you wouldn't want to put a lot of weight in the mailers. I've never had or at least never heard that these bags have ripped or tore, but I tend to ship lighter objects like clothing or small boxes. Another thing to keep in mind is to be careful when sealing these mailers, the seal is very sticky and if it accidentally folds the wrong way, it will stick and you probably won't be able to peel it apart. Overall, these mails have been great and are good for keeping costs down.

they are not bad, but not as good quality as a previous purchase
