As a general rule of thumb, all your custom attire products are packaged in paper or plastic mailers or cardboard boxes. Depending on local supply availability, packaging can be made of recycled, partially recycled, or virgin materials. Whenever needed, we use clear mailers, tissue paper, foam pouches, or bubble wrap to protect products from breaking or scratching.

The most commonly used packaging our fulfilment group uses is a post-consumer recycled (PCR) plastic mailer. If there’s more than one product, after putting each item in its own separate transparent polymer bag, they then place them all together in a PCR polymer mailer. 

PCR plastics are made from items people recycle every day, like plastic bags and bottles. Most of there PCR plastics are made from shopping bags and wrapping films.

The amount of PCR in the packaging differs for each fulfillment location, but it’s at least 50% for the outside (white or grey) poly mailer bags and at least 30% for the inside (clear) bags used in multi-item shipments.

Back in May of 2022, our fulfilment group started a gradual switch to 90%–100% PCR plastic packaging for apparel products in there in-house facilities all over North America.
