Product Description

Get your own custom branded mailing bags

If you love the thought of using compostable packaging, but want your own logo or branding on it, then it's time to get custom HEROPACKs.

You can get double-sided, custom mailers from as low as 500 pieces! However, the best price per unit is when you select 5000 pieces or 10000 pieces.

These custom mailers can take 2-4 months to make and deliver to your door in Australia. Your custom mailers are made from scratch and printed on our certified compostable film.

HOW TO ORDER CUSTOM SHIPPING MAILER BAGS:

  1. Choose your size and quantity in the dropdown menu
  2. The price reflects the total price of the mailers (INCL the printing plate and GST)
  3. Place your order. You can pay using credit card, BNPL options or bank transfer
  4. Email us at hello@heropackaging.com.au with your artwork for the front and back of the mailer (this must be in .ai format)
  5. We will send you a PDF proof with your artwork
  6. Once approved, the mailers will go straight into production

These mailers are not single use plastic. Not even close. They are certified home-compostable shipping mailer and is made from 70-80% PBAT (a co-polymer that is completely compostable) and 20-30% PLA (which is a fancy way of saying cornstarch).

In a commercial compostable environment, it will break-down within 90 days. At home, it may take up to 120 days.

Note: We recommend purchasing compostable mailing bags for a 9 month usage period. This is because compostable mailers have a shelf life of 12 months.

Features and choices:

    • Single or double adhesive strip so your customers may re-use the bag. If you need a double adhesive strip, please email us to get a quote (hello@heropackaging.com.au)
    • Price INCLUDES double sided printing
    • One colour printing on one colour background (You can choose the mailer colour and then either 1 colour print on top)
    • Premium matte finish 
    • Water-resistant to keep shipments safe from rain

Certifications:

  • Australia: Home Compostable (AS5810) and Commercially Compostable (AS4736)

PRICE BEAT GUARANTEE:

We have a price-beat guarantee* (conditions apply). If you receive a lower price on like-for-like mailers, we will beat it by 5%. Please also note that home-compostable shipping mailers are specially designed to disappear! They have a shelf life of 9-12 months. When ordering custom mailers, they will need to be used up within this timeframe. 

HEROPACK mailers have a high weight load rating and can withstand all the hard knocks during the shipping process.

Product shelf life: as our compostable mailers are made using renewable ingredients, they have a shelf life of approximately 9-12 months when kept in cool and dry conditions, out of direct sunlight. 

Please note: The lighter the colour, the more translucent the mailer is. We recommend choosing a medium to darker background colour.

The translucency of the HEROPACK material is due to the nature of the renewable ingredients used. There are strict rules to be in compliance with the Australian home-compostable certification from ABA, and this is the most important factor for us. If you are looking for no transparency, we recommend our black compostable mailers.

How long do custom mailers take?

Custom compostable mailers are made from scratch and take 2–4 months to make and deliver in Australia. Plan ahead so you don’t run out of stock.

Need them faster or in a smaller quantity?

Our custom HEROKRAFT paper mailers and HEROHEX paper padded mailers can be printed from just 25 units and are printed and shipped within 1–2 weeks.

What printing is included?

The price includes double-sided printing, the printing plate and GST. Printing is one colour on one background colour: you choose the mailer colour and one print colour.

What sizes can I order?

What materials are custom padded mailers made from?

Choose a paper matte outer or a compostable gloss outer, both with a compostable bubble inner made from PLA and PBAT. Most brands choose the paper outer: it has the best sustainability rating and customers can tear the paper away to recycle it.

Are custom mailers certified compostable?

Custom HEROPACKs are certified Home Compostable (AS 5810) and Commercially Compostable (AS 4736), and meet EN 13432. Custom padded mailers are certified for commercial composting only (AS 4736, EN 13432).

How do I order?

  1. Choose your size and quantity (and material for padded mailers) and place your order.
  2. Pay by credit card, buy-now-pay-later or bank transfer.
  3. Email your front and back artwork to hello@heropackaging.com.au — .ai files for HEROPACKs; AI or PDF for padded mailers.
  4. We send a PDF proof. Once you approve it, your mailers go straight into production.

Can I have a double adhesive strip for returns?

Custom mailers come with a single adhesive strip as standard. Email us for a quote on a double strip.

Which mailer colour should I choose?

The lighter the mailer colour, the more translucent it is, because of the renewable ingredients needed to stay certified compostable. We recommend a medium to dark background colour; choose black for no transparency.

What is the shelf life of custom mailers?

About 9–12 months when stored cool and dry, out of direct sunlight. Order a quantity you will use within that time.

Do you price match?

Yes. If you receive a lower price on like-for-like custom mailers, we’ll beat it by 5% (conditions apply).

Can I cancel or return a custom order?

Custom orders that have already been printed can’t be returned under any circumstances. If production hasn’t started, contact us within 14 days of purchase; a $15–$50 setup fee plus handling and restocking fees are deducted from your store credit. See our Shipping & Returns page.
