Bulk pricing tiers
Quick answer
Order 500+ for the best balance of savings and practicality. Test samples first: check cushioning thickness, seal strength, and sizing consistency. Get 3+ quotes. Ask about call-off orders for bulk pricing with staged delivery. Store in a dry area away from heat, which can affect adhesive seal strips. The cheapest quote is not always the best value if the padding is thinner or the seals fail.
Quality checks
Squeeze the padding. It should feel consistent and spring back.
All should seal firmly with a strong, tamper-evident bond.
Measure 5-10 envelopes. Dimensions should match within 2-3mm.
Padding thickness, paper weight, and seal quality vary enormously between brands.

Storage tips
Store flat in original packaging in a dry, cool environment. Heat can soften peel-and-seal adhesive, reducing bond strength. Humidity can weaken kraft paper outer layers. Most padded envelopes have a shelf life of 12-18 months when stored correctly.
