About us

Polythenemailers.co.uk is a division of Polybags specialising in polythene mailing bags. Polybags were established in 1961 by Mr Geoffrey Davies, who purchased a bag-making machine advertised in the local paper and sold door-to-door. As sales grew, the business moved firstly to a lock-up garage and then on to larger factory. Polybags now have a new management team and are looking to continue Polybags' development and success.

Our Printed Mailing Bags

Our printed mailing bags are manufactured from 60 micron Co-Ex LDPE (Low Density Polyethylene) as normal.

A Note About Packaging - I am working towards being as environmentally friendly as potential. Cardboard boxes, bubble wrap, polystyrene pellets and air packs that arrive with supplies I've ordered are checked for cleanliness, saved and reused when packing outgoing parcels. In addition we acquire a lot of charity bags through the door and, rather than send the unused ones to landfill, if I need to keep safe an item against damp etc, I'll cut a plain part from one of them to wrap it in. I also reuse the cellophane sleeves from greetings cards to package craft supplies and material that I have for sale. I do sometimes use polythene suppliers mailers, nevertheless am in the process of sourcing an eco-friendly substitute.
