Well if there's one way to go when you need bubble envelopes to mail out those special items I say us Staples QuickStrip Bubble Wrap Cushioned Mailers! They're the right size - maybe a bit bigger than needed but who doesn't need things a bit bigger. And the softness from the bubbles. The air is fresh. The plastic supple. Ah! I was sending books that I didn't want to fold over or crease. No complaints from those that received them. I can't wait to see what else I can fit into my bubble wrap cushioned mailer!
This product the bubble wrap cushioned envelopes was used in this case to mail CDs in jewel cases. From what I have heard from recipients all arrived in good order unbroken properly protected. Of course some of this si due to the handling by the post office but some must also be attributed to the bubble wrap cushioned mailers in which the CDs were sent and delivered. The price at first struck as as a bit high and of course we would like to have acquired the envelopes for a bit less money but on the whole this product seems to us to have been worth it--thus the five-star rating as seen above.
As part of a picture project that involves shipping my DVDs across the country I found these padded envelopes. Out of the 51 I have shipped so far all of them have arrived in perfect condition. They are able to be shipped at the "flat" envelope rate and that makes then a cost efficient options as well as protective of their contents. There is also plenty of room inside the envelope that would allow for additional items like a shipping slip or invoice quarter sheet folded. I am very glad I found these to ship my projects!
Mostly what I disliked about this product is the weight of the paper behind the bubble wrap. It was too thin to protect the calendars that I was mailing. I had to add cardboard to prevent bending which increased the total weight thus increasing the postage. Secondly quite a few of gummed closure protective tape stuck to mailers that were on top of them leaving that envelope's gummed flap exposed. The quality was poor for the price I paid which I got at a discount and that price would not sway me to buy this product again. Also your stock was practically empty the day I purchased these. Poor inventory management. I have had a two other bad experiences at Staples this holiday season. Truly looking elsewhere.
