How to choose the right ecommerce shipping mailer

All mailers are not all created equal! How to choose the right ecommerce shipping mailer.

There are plenty of places to order shipping mailers for your ecommerce business, but not all mailers are created equal in terms of features and quality. Choosing the wrong type of shipping mailer can be a costly mistake. What should you be looking for in ecommerce shipping mailers? Here is a list of key features to look for:

1. Return-friendly. Ecommerce customers have come to expect an easy return process. A recent survey of 1,300 U.S. online shoppers revealed that 96% would shop with a retailer again based on a positive return experience. Part of providing your customer with a hassle-free return experience is providing then with a mailer that is strong enough to be reused. Make sure your shipping mailers are constructed with quality materials and burst-resistant seams. No one wants to have to purchase packaging to make a return.
2. High quality construction. Your shipping packaging carries your product, but it also delivers the first impression of your brand. Poor quality mailers lead to popped seams and damaged products. This results in dissatisfied customers and costly replacements. High quality mailers are moisture resistant with exceptional puncture resistance. Bubble mailers should adequately protect fragile products without popping under pressure.
3. Consistency in manufacturing. Maybe you tried a certain brand of mailers with good results, then your next shipment of mailers arrives and half of them pop open during transit. Or maybe your next shipment of mailers does not arrive when you need it. Poor manufacturing processes lead to inconsistent quality, color, materials, and delivery schedules. When your business relies on consistent, quality packaging materials to fulfill sales, it is wise to ensure you are working with a manufacturer who makes consistency a priority.
4. Made in the USA. Products made in the USA have many advantages over those manufactured overseas. From shorter lead times to better environmental and worker safety regulations, American-made products are often the more dependable and ethical choice when it comes to supplying your business. For more reasons why you should consider mailers made in the USA, read this.
