Why 100% Recycled Honeycomb Mailers Are the Plastic-Free, Protective Packaging Solution You've Been Waiting For

Why 100% Recycled Honeycomb Mailers Are the Plastic-Free, Protective Packaging Solution You've Been Waiting For

If you're on the hunt for sustainable, plastic-free packaging that doesn't compromise on protection we’ve got the solution for you: EcoPackables 100% recycled honeycomb mailers. Designed with the environment and functionality in mind, these innovative padded mailers are the perfect alternative to traditional poly mailers and bubble-lined envelopes.

How It Works: Innovative Honeycomb Padding

What makes these mailers unique is their internal honeycomb cut paper structure. The honeycomb layer, which is sandwiched between two layers of kraft paper, features a lattice-cut design that expands to form cushioning pockets. When expanded, the paper is no longer flat—instead, it forms a 3D structure that absorbs impact through the compression and crushing of the paper cells.

Features That Deliver

EcoPackables' honeycomb mailers aren't just eco-friendly—they're also thoughtfully designed with user convenience in mind. Each mailer includes:

  • Tear strips for easy opening

  • Bottom gussets for extra space and flexibility

  • Full customization options, from sizes to print designs

Compostable, and Certified Recyclable

Made from 100% recycled paper, these mailers are curbside recyclable and biodegradable. While they aren't certified compostable (as current certifications apply only to compostable films, not paper), they are technically compostable in a home composting environment like any other paper product. Plus, they are FSC-certified for recycled paper, ensuring the material is responsibly sourced and processed. 

A Note on Printing and Customization

Our honeycomb mailers are fully customizable in terms of size and print, making it easy to align your packaging with your brand identity. However, keep in mind that these mailers are made from kraft paper, which has a natural brown tone. Colors printed on kraft will appear slightly darker compared to prints on white backgrounds. For brands looking for a brighter print, we do offer honeycomb mailers with a white kraft exterior layer, though this option comes with a higher minimum order quantity (MOQ).

Eco-Friendly Meets Practicality

Combining durability, customizability, and sustainability, EcoPackables' 100% recycled honeycomb mailers are a smart choice for any business seeking to reduce plastic waste without sacrificing performance. Whether you're shipping clothing, accessories, small electronics, food products, cosmetics, books, home goods, or artisanal crafts, these mailers deliver protection and presentation—all while keeping your carbon footprint in check.
