This is the second set I have purchased. The first ones were great so I purchased again. This time the envelopes seem to be more brittle where it was easy to puncture then if you squeezed to hard. I used them anyway and long story short they worked ok. Probably will buy something different next time.
I had previously bought mailers under the STAPLES name - sku 1810328225. They were no longer available but these seemed to be the replacement under an new name - TRU RED. The item though acceptable feels more flimsy that the original STAPLES product. The bubble insert feels less "bubbly" and the paper feels thinner and less substantial. They will do for my purposes but now I will have to add more wrapping on the items inside to feel secure about mailing. IT IS AN ENVELOPE AND IT HAS BUBBLE WRAP INSIDE BUT IT IS NOT AN EQUAL REPLACEMENT.
I still like visiting stores in person but during this time at least ordering supplies on line from Staples is just too convenient. The package was on my porch in 18 hours. Free shipping! Oh yeah the product was great as well.
The mailer is sturdy with no clasp at the back which makes it easy to use with USPS. I have mailed cloth in these mailers to several people and the mailers held up well.
TRU RED™ 6.75" x 9" Self-Sealing Bubble Mailer #0 Kraft 25/carton is a great product and reasonably priced. It will protect a DVD in its 7.5" x 5.25" x 5/8" case for easy mailing. I have used the bubble mailers twice to send out DVDs from our non-profit organization. Make sure to plan and place labels before inserting DVDs. I preferred to add an extra layer of tape to the self-sealing flap for a more secure closure. A smaller product would fit better and probably not need the extra tape.
