How to Design Your Own Poly Mailers

WH Global Pack blog

Gone are the days when retail and eCommerce sellers are left with no choice but to stick with big and bulky boxes.

Now more than ever, poly mailers are here as a reliable and popular option for sellers all over the world. Poly mailers are cheap and lightweight, allow flat storage, and are completely customizable to suit your brand.

Learning how to design your own poly mailers gives you the chance to make the most out of these unique packing options.

Determine the Size

Before anything else, make sure you know the dimensions of the product you will ship. Poly mailers are similar to bags and have enough room for a decent number of items inside.

You have to make sure that you choose something big enough to fit your products inside without stretching out the material.

However, it also shouldn’t be too big to the extent that there is leftover space that will require you to fold or roll the mailer before sealing it.

Pick a Background Color

Custom poly mailers have a white-grey material that can serve as a beautiful canvas you can work on. You can choose to simply put your business logo here or you can also fill the area with a stunning solid color if you like.

Add a Stock Artwork

You can also design your poly mailer with some artwork depending on the specific theme of your custom packaging. You can choose from subjects such as animals, sports, holidays, and more. One to two images might just be the best finishing touches to your poly mailers.

Put Some Text

Custom poly mailers are effective shipping containers because they also offer you the perfect opportunity to include brand messaging. You can include a tagline or sharp headline to announce the arrival of your items.

You can decide on the color, position, color, size, and font of your text to make it more personalized and customized for your business.

Decide on the Quantity

It is not always cheap to get these custom poly mailers. This is why it is important that you consider how many mailers you need before you proceed with your order.

Of course, you wouldn’t want to end up with a large inventory of mailers that won’t even be used in the first place. This is why you need to do your own market research first to determine the number of poly mailers you will likely use throughout the year or quarter before you place an order.

If this is your first time to use custom poly mailers and you have no idea if your customers will also like them, you might want to start with a smaller bundle of mailers first that will serve as some sort of trial run.

Doing this will help you determine how your initial designs will be received once fully created. This is also a great way to avoid spending a huge budget on custom poly mailers that might still require additional tweaking to be considered successful.
