Reusing and Recycling Packaging Materials
Our top tips on packaging series continues with helpful hints on reusing your jiffy bags and postal packaging.
3 reasons to reuse your jiffy mailing bags and padded envelopes
1) As pressure on the environment and the need for the nation to economise grows, it’s now critical to conserve and reuse packaging.
2) Reusing packaging is the best form of recycling, because it doesn’t require further use of energy, either in converting or transporting the packaging prior to use. It simply extends the life of your jiffy mailing bags.
3) Thinking ahead to how your customer receives their parcel, reducing unnecessary packaging and making it easy for the customer to reuse their jiffy mailing bags, or other padded envelopes, could have a positive impact on your environmental credentials
“As a specialist packaging supplies company we believe we have a duty to encourage Customers to give greater thought to the packaging they buy and make better use of the packaging materials they retain.”
How to reuse your jiffy mailing bags
- Initially, simply over-label and reseal with packaging tape. Avoid using staples to reseal bags, because these can cause tearing if opened in a hurry by the recipient
- Rather than hand-writing addresses, use a printed address label or documents enclosed label. These mark less of the surface area of your jiffy mailing bag and are easy to over label
- If a jiffy bag has been excessively written on or has a torn flap, simply place the jiffy padded envelope inside a paper mailing sack or lightweight polythene postal bag, thereby reusing the lightweight bubble protection properties of the jiffy bag.
Unfortunately, many types of padded mailing bags are not recyclable, because they are composite packaging made from bubble wrap and paper. However, with care, these two materials could be separated and recycled separately. However, traditional style Jiffy padded bags, made with 100% paper are both reusable and recyclable.
