Plain Packaging
This section contains plain, basic packaging that you might want to have to get you started.
You may wish to put your parcels in a mailing bag rather than a box or envelope so I would recommend these! They're environmentally friendly and compostable too!
100% Compostable Black Mail Bag | Eco Friendly Mailer | SR Mailing
Looking for something to wrap around your products to protect them? Here is some environmentally friendly paper wraps that I would recommend. After use they can be put into the recycling bin or composted making it environmentally friendly.
Eco Paper Wrap | SR Mailing Ltd
Looking for plain PiP boxes? I would recommend these as there is a variety of sizes to choose from suitable for posting with Royal Mail.
Royal Mail Large Letter PiP Box | Postal Cardboard Boxes
If you're selling prints you may wish to purchase some “Do not bend” envelopes to ensure that your prints stay protected in transit and hopefully… they do not bend!
Do Not Bend Envelopes
I would recommend this environmentally friendly self adhesive kraft tape to tape up your orders and ensure that nothing falls out.
A paper mail bag is another great alternative to a plastic jiffy bag as it can be put into recycling or compost when it has served its purpose.

Looking for custom made paper carrier bags? I would recommend these. I think these would be good for people that do markets and fayres that way people have something to carry round their purchases in and quite often not many people provide a bag.
