Poly mailer weight
The weight of a poly mailer, also known as a poly envelope or poly bag, depends on several factors, including:
- Size: Poly mailers come in various sizes, ranging from small to large. The larger the size, the heavier the poly mailer.
- Material: Poly mailers are typically made of polyethylene or polypropylene, which have different densities and weights.
- Thickness: The thickness of the poly mailer also affects its weight. Thicker poly mailers are generally heavier than thinner ones.
- Gusset: Some poly mailers have gussets, which are folds in the material that allow the envelope to expand when filled. Gusseted poly mailers are generally heavier than non-gusseted ones.
Here are some approximate weights for poly mailers:
- Small poly mailers (6" x 9" x 0.5mm): 1-2 ounces (28-57 grams)
- Medium poly mailers (9" x 12" x 0.5mm): 2-4 ounces (57-113 grams)
- Large poly mailers (12" x 15" x 0.5mm): 4-6 ounces (113-170 grams)
- Extra-large poly mailers (15" x 18" x 0.5mm): 6-8 ounces (170-227 grams)
- Heavy-duty poly mailers (18" x 24" x 0.75mm): 8-12 ounces (227-340 grams)
Keep in mind that these are approximate weights and can vary depending on the specific product and manufacturer. If you need to know the exact weight of a poly mailer, it's best to check with the manufacturer or supplier.
