Product Description

Purple Shipping Mailers

Not too light, not too dark. This purple is juuuuust right. This is our latest certified Home-Compostable HEROPACK. 

It looks and feels like plastic, but it's not. Not even close. It is a 100% 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.

Design features:

  • Small HEROPACK logo in grey/white on the front
  • Double adhesive strip so your customers can re-use the bags
  • Premium matte finish to differentiate our compostable mailers from glossy plastic mailers.
  • You can apply your existing shipping labels or write directly onto the mailer.
  • Waterproof to keep shipments safe from rain.
  • Dimensions of the mailer now mentioned on the back for ease of re-ordering.
  • Are you looking for customised mailers with your own brand logo? Check out our Custom Mailer page.
  • Our compostable mailers are tough and durable.
  • Please note: Total shelf life of our mailers is 9-12 months. We recommend you buying for a maximum 3 month usage period.

Certifications:

  • Australia: Home Compostable (AS5810) and Commercially Compostable (AS4736)
  • International: Home Compostable (EN13432) and Commercially Compostable (EN13432)

Please note: If you're shipping any products which have sharp corners or edges (such as shoe boxes), it's best to trial a couple of shipments with our mailers to ensure everything performs as expected. In order to remain certified home-compostable, our mailers can't be too thick like evil plastic mailers, so sharp corners could sometimes cause damage. Other than that, 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. This should be considered when ordering mailers in bulk. We recommend ordering for a 3-6 month period of shipments.

Please note: These mailers are semi-translucent. We recommend packaging your products in a bag or wrapping that is opaque so the products can't be seen through the packaging. 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.

Hero Packaging's HEROPACK purple shipping bags are an innovative, environment-friendly alternative to traditional mailers. The reason? Despite looking and feeling like plastic, they're 100% home-compostable and break down within just 90-120 days. These features alone distinguish them from the dull, wasteful plastic mailers that end up in landfill across Australia.

What Sets Hero Packaging Mailers Apart

The quality of these purple postage bags can't be beaten. They're waterproof, tough, and outfitted with a double adhesive strip that allows them to be reused over and over again. The durability of these mailers comes from their quality materials: a blend of 70-80% PBAT (compostable co-polymer) and 20-30% PLA (cornstarch).
They're also gorgeous to look at and sure to leave a positive impression. The deep purple colour has a matte finish and styled with a subtle, grey/white HEROPACK logo on the front. 

Customise the Size and Quantity of Your Order

We offer our purple shipping mailers in several different sizes, all of which are similar to the dimensions used by Australia Post. These include the small (19cmx26cm), the medium 1kg (26.5cmx38cm), and our extra- large 5kg mailers (55cmx55cm). For your convenience, and to get the best value, you can order in quantities of 25, 50, 100, 250, 500, and 1000. With this variety, you shouldn't have any trouble finding a mailer that fits your product.

Can't choose between our multiple sizes? We understand if you'd like to see some samples before committing to a 25+ pack. That's why we offer a HEROPACK sampler containing sample mailers to try out. This variety pack will help you determine which size and colour mailer is best suited to your product. If you'd like to order in bigger quantities, you're welcome to order your own custom mailers.

      No Split Shipments: Please note that if pre-order items are purchased together with regular items which are in stock, the entire order will be on hold until the pre-order stock is available for shipping (we cannot partially ship orders).
