Packing Supplies
These are what I consider the essentials to start selling on your own!
Â
I use polymailers to ship pretty much everything. I mostly sell clothes so I find these are a great size and perfect if lettermail does not work for you.
Pack of 100 Poly Mailers Bags
Â
These are great for shipping lettermail if your item is small/thin. Since I usually sell clothes I would probably put accessories or small tank tops in these.
Recyclable Mailer Size 0 Brown: Self-Adhesive Padded Shipping Envelopes
Â
I always try to use packing tape to adhere my shipping labels to my orders. Applying packing tape over the whole slip will ensure it’s waterproof!
Scotch Heavy Duty Shipping Packing Tape Roll with Dispenser
Â
You can also be fancy and use these printer labels! There’s a sticker on the back so it’s much easier. I used these while I worked in retail.
Internet Shipping Labels - White: Printable Mailing Labels, Avery Template, Printer Compatible

Paper for your labels of course! I almost always just print the label on paper and tape it to my package.
Recycled Printer Paper Letter Size

I’m not going to recommend an ink printer to you since they’re crazy expensive, but a thermal printer is a great and MUCH cheaper alternative. A lot of sellers will use these once they’re already selling a lot. No ink needed as it uses heat. Also can...

Okay technically not a packing item, but I use these before taking photos of my items and before I ship as well! You want to make sure your items are clean and in the best condition :)
Lint Roller Sheets
Extras for Buyers!
These are some extra things I do for fun, but not necessary!
Â
I like these because the individual wrapping is really secure! The worst would be to put candy in and it somehow melts out of its wrapper (lollipops & gym esp!)
Skittles, Skittles Gummies & Life Savers Gummies Candy Variety Bag Party Size
Â
Leaving a thank you note for buyers is always fun! Plus personalizing it to them is nice :)
Wrapables Cute and Funny Animal Sticky Notes
Â
When I’m feeling extra whimsy I’ll add some cute stickers to the outside of the packaging

Storing your Inventory
For once you have a lot of items, or if you already do from your own closet and just want it out of the way + keeps any dust out from your inventory!
Â
I use these bins for inventory that’s out of season or has been in the shop for awhile since these deep ones are harder to access for me. These go in my basement!
110qt Storage Bin with Latches - Brightroom™
Â
I use roller bins for my stock that tends to move fast! I put these under my bed and they’re super easy to access.
