5.0 out of 5 stars Great Mailers....for Smaller Items, July 22, 2010

I sell a relatively small amount of books on Amazon.com, so when to time can that I ran out of boxes, I decided to buy a few bubble mailers for ease of use. Naturally, I always try to get the best deal on the internet, so I even calculated how much each individual mailer of several different sizes and brands cost. I wanted to spend under 15 bucks, and found that these were the cheapest small quantity of mailers (bulk quantities of mailers are, of course, the overall cheapest per envelope). At around 11 bucks total with shipping(they were cheaper then)they come to about $.40 per mailer.
The size seemed a little small, but I have plenty of small books, and even averaged out the sizes of some of my books to make sure they would fit. With this in mind, I ordered them.

When the mailers came, I noted that they were sturdy, held together well, and have a very strong glue peel-and-seal. However, when I tried to fit my books in them, most wouldn't fit. They only work with the smallest paperbacks. Even though it says 7.5x12", the inside, is of course, smaller. I took that into account, but they were still too small for most books.

Even so, they are good at what they do, and I have no complaints about them, thus the 5-star rating. If you have a lot of smaller books to sell, get these. They are also PERFECT for DVDs. If not though, I highly recommend getting 75 Counts Kraft Road Warrior® Mailers Variety Pack - 6 Sizes including #0, #1, #2, #3, #4 and #5 Kraft Bubble Mailers. I calculated the cost of these too, and at about .25 cents per mailer with shipping, they are the cheapest bundle of 75 mailers out there, and include enough sizes for all my books. I ordered them a few months ago and they have worked like a dream for me: I can't find a size for only the very, very biggest books! Get the pack of 125 if you have even more to sell, but if you have less, don't get the pack of 50: it costs almost the same amount and is therefore not nearly as good a deal. The smallest mailers in the 75 pack are a bit smaller than these 25, so you might consider still getting the 7.25x12 pack if you have a lot of small stuff to sell. These ones are also a little bit roomier and more flexible than the ones of this size in the Road Warrior pack, although the variety pack comes with bigger sizes too.

UPDATE: The price of the 75 pack seems to have gone up quite a bit, so I recently ordered a 150 pack from Road Warrior. It was about $32 and a MUCH better deal. Why is it that Road Warrior is about the only company selling variety packs?

Back to the 25 Kraft Bubble Mailers:

Pros:
- Sturdy
- Cheap for the quantity
- Right size for dvds and small books
- Glue is very strong

Cons:
- Too small for most books, even if your book is 7x11 inches (also, books over 1" in thickness have a hard time fitting)
- Not that cheap compared to larger quantity

There you have it: I can say from experience: if you have a few smaller books, dvds, or other items under 7x12 inches and quite thin, get these, otherwise the Road Warrior mailers are the way to go. :)

How much can you say about a bubble mailer? Good quality, good price. This size is about perfect for the typical paperback book or DVD.
