Choosing the right size for mailer and garment bags
02 Nov 2026
The right size protects the product and avoids waste.
Measure the folded product
Fold or pack your product the way you ship it, then measure its length, width and thickness.
Allow room to seal
Choose a bag a little larger than the packed product so the closure seals cleanly and the product does not strain the seams.
Do not oversize
A bag that is much too big wastes material and can look untidy. If you ship several product sizes, pick two or three bag sizes to cover them.
