Materials
EcoPackables D42 Bubble
D42 bubble is an opaque compostable bubble film, made from cornstarch and PBAT, a bio-based polymer. This protective film is often paired with EcoPackables D42 Film or with a recycled Kraft paper exterior. It is ideal for use in eco-friendly padded shipping mailers.
LCA Context: Ideal for applications seeking a plastic-free visual appearance with compostable end-of-life, although it carries a moderate carbon footprint relative to recycled options.
Recycled Kraft Paper
Made from FSC-Certified post-consumer recycled fibers, this kraft paper is customizable in thickness and content, and printed with non-toxic, water-based inks. Fully curbside recyclable and plastic-free, it’s ideal for brands eliminating plastic from their packaging. It can even be composted. Used in many products including mailers, cardboard boxes, paperboard boxes, and void fill.
LCA Insight: Compared to virgin plastic production, recycled kraft paper is made with a nearly 90% reduction in carbon emissions and uses 96% less fossil fuel energy, making it one of the most climate-friendly options in our portfolio.
EcoPackables D42 Film
D42 is an opaque compostable film, made from cornstarch and PBAT, a bio-based polymer. Fully sealable and printable, it is offered in thicknesses from 30–110μm with customizable colors. It is ideal for use in shipping mailers.
LCA Context: Ideal for applications seeking a plastic-free visual appearance with compostable end-of-life, although it carries a moderate carbon footprint relative to recycled options.
More About This Product

Crafted from recycled white kraft or cornstarch-based materials (cornstarch, PLA, and PBAT), these mailers are certified to fully biodegrade in 180 days in home compost and 90 days in industrial compost facilities. Each mailer is printed with water-based inks and includes options for customized tear strips, ensuring both durability and eco-friendliness. Choose your custom size, print (up to 4 colors, full-bleed), and start your order at just 5,000 units, with a daily capacity of 35,000 units. Ideal for cosmetics, healthcare, electronics, jewelry, and more, these compostable mailers meet the high standards of TUV and ABA. Storage Note: For best results, store in a cool, dry place. These mailers have a shelf life of up to one year to maintain their strength and compostability. If a longer-lasting material is preferred, we also offer Kraft paper, which is both recyclable and compostable.
Collapsible content
Is compostable packaging good for the environment?
Our perspective on compostable packaging evolves with ongoing research and new findings. One thing remains clear: we can't continue to depend solely on paper and LDPE (plastic) for future packaging solutions. Innovation in materials is essential, which is why we currently offer compostable options. While our present offerings may not be "perfect," the absence of investment from companies like ours would hinder progress toward the ideal compostable material. There are challenges, such as incomplete composting infrastructure and the lack of a accessible alternatives to PBAT, a common binder in many bags. However, without exploring these options and supporting R&D in material science, legislative changes and the development of new materials will stall. For this reason, we see compostable technologies as a crucial investment in the future.
How much do custom compostable padded bubble mailers cost?
Our minimum order for custom packaging starts at $2,500. Pricing per unit varies based on the product specifics, including size, print method, and any added features. Custom compostable padded bubble mailers typically starts around $0.21 per unit, but we’ll provide a tailored quote once we understand your project needs.
What are the certifications?
The bags are certified by all three industry certifiers; Vincotte, BPI and Dincerto,
meeting American, European, International and Australian standards – including
certifications for your domestic home compost. To gain these certifications, the
product must break down within 90 days in commercial compost and 180 days in
home compost conditions, including wormfarm compost. After degradation, they
must leave no harmful residues behind. In fact, the only residue left behind is a soil
enhancer which is returned to the earth as plant food.
What is the shelf life?
This is very important. To ensure maximum longevity, EcoPackables mailers should
be stored in a dark, dry place. If stored correctly, they will be strong enough to send
parcels around the world for at least 9-12 months, if not, their strength will be
compromised. This is why we recommend ordering in 6-month intervals.
