My first review, but it might save another buyer from needing to go a return.
IF you want the largest size 0 mailer (internal size). Order from Royal Mailers.
They ship quickly and the item is light but wide. I ordered from Group Deal and the size was the smallest internal size 0 I've ever seen, much less tried to use.
I wish each seller would list the specifics of their respective product.

These sturdy mailing envelopes by Kraft have an excellent internal lining of bubble wrap to make whatever you're mailing get to its destination safely! I sometimes mail CDs or DVDs to friends and I wouldn't be able to do it without these excellent envelopes with their bubble wrap lining.

Of course, the bubble wrap inside the envelope simultaneously serves as padding; and the envelopes are padded somewhat more as well to make the insides safe for CD cases and the like. Just as they say, the bubble wrap lining runs all the way to the flap of the envelope. This is far superior to the regular envelope (or a thin cardboard envelope) which really offers little or no protection against the contents being broken should the envelope be accidentally dropped or just banged around in transit.

The sealing to each envelope is easy--just pull off the strip on the envelope's edge and press down hard. If you have any remaining concerns about the envelope staying shut in transit just use some tape to reinforce the seal of the envelope.

Moreover, these envelopes come cheap. As I write this they cost just about 12 cents an envelope--who could ask for anything more in this department!

One suggestion: write the name and address of the recipient on the envelope before you insert the contents and seal it. That way you're protected even more against the envelope accidentally becoming less padded by the force of any ink pen you use to write with.

Overall, envelopes like these count for a lot. I am always mailing something and they sure do come in handy! I have also received tons of packages over the years from sellers of CDs and DVDs who used these envelopes to reliably transport the media to me.

I highly recommend these envelopes. Great job, Kraft!

These envelopes are too small for shipping DVDs. They are not 6X10. They are 6X9 with little play in them.

One thing that was frustrating when trying to decide which bubble mailers to order was that the reviews for a single item obviously referred to different products. Reviewers reported different sizes and contradictory characteristics.
I ordered
#0 6.5" x 10 KRAFT BUBBLE MAILERS PADDED ENVELOPES, 250 ct.
ASIN: B000GHXWI4
Brand Name: Ecolite
Model number: N0_150_Mailer
Manufacturer Part Number: kraft0-250m
Shipped from Valuemailers

I'm not sure what the 6.5x10 in the description refers to because the inside padded dimensions are 6.5" x 9.0" and the overall outside dimensions are 7.5" x 11" (9.5" after sealing the flap)
These are the largest #0 bubble mailers I've seen and the padding is as thick as the thickest I've seen. The adhesive strip is wider than most, very sticky and extends all the way to the edge of the envelope for a secure seal without the need for additional tape.
Recommended.

I specifically ordered this product because it said Ecolite #0 6" x 10 "mailer and showed the Ecolite logo in the photos. What I received is not Ecolite. It is a substitute, CPI Packaging. They are decent weight and all but not as large as an Ecolite #0. The specific box I need to fit in this mailer tears the mailer because it is too small. This same box fits nicely in an Ecolite #0. Beware, these are a small 6" x 10"!

Really disappointed, I'd return, but I can use for other items, just not what I bought them for. Now I have to place another order somewhere else to get the right ones!

As many merchants are selling different brands (and store brands) under this same item listing, it seems that there is a large variation in quality, internal size, and materials used among the delivered products. Reviews listing the vendor used have been the most helpful to me, so I will do the same in my review below.

Size: I ordered from ValueMailers due to their item description of "Extra wide for DVD insert." Shipment was received timely and in good order. The mailers I received are branded as Ecolite and are indeed wider than the mailers I have previously used from ULine. The ULine #0 also fit DVD cases, but they were a snug fit at times and you often had to apply significant pressure to get your DVD case fully inserted. The #0 I received when ordering from this Amazon Merchant (ValueMailers) would appear to have an extra 0.5 inch or so of internal width which made DVD/game case insertions much easier. Length (internal and external) is roughly the same as my previous mailers.

Weight: The weight of these #0 mailers was 0.08 ounces more than my ULine mailers, which can be attributed to the extra width. If you do not need the additional internal width and the extra weight will push your shipment to the next ounce and lead to increased shipping rates, I would suggest getting one of the #0 mailers listed that is not wider than standard.

Build quality: These mailers seem sturdy and comparable to my ULine mailers. When comparing the bubble padding to the mailers I have always used in the past, it appears they are a slightly less inflated than the bubbles from my prior ULine #0 mailers. There's not a huge difference and I believe they will still provide sufficient shipping protection, but it is worth noting.

Overall, I am satisfied with the quality of these mailers from ValueMailers when compared against the mailers I have used for my shipments in the past. If they always ship these same mailers I will continue to use them in the future.

This is the most used size for my needs, I ship about 100 packages a week. I was paying a little more for mailers elsewhere so I thought I'd give these a try because they would save me a little. They work but I would not consider them to be a quality product. They're thinner and have less padding than what I was using. I will be switching back to the other ones I was using (ULine).

The envelopes are of good (not great) quality. The self seal works well and holds up good. The bubble padded envelope is a little thin, compared to others I've ordered. Depends if you are looking for protection when mailing, or for a lighter weight.

Overall the product is good, too bad no vendors specify the thickness or weight of 1 envelope.

Pretty nice envelopes for mailing DVDs, Books, and cds. For 32.00 for this many envelopes it's a very nice price.

The adhesive is better than similar envelopes that cost almost a dollar each at brick and mortar stores.

The padding isn't quite as good as others I have seen. It feels fairly thin and stiff, but it still works great for my purposes.

I will buy these again.
