Fuxury Fu Global 8.5x12 Inches Kraft Bubble Mailers Padded Envelopes #2 Pack of 25

I've been using Fu Global Kraft Bubble Mailers of various sizes for several months now. I just ordered 50 more of the 8-1/2 by 12 sized product because that is the size I most often use when shipping books. All of the their mailers are very well made and the adhesive strip holds securely. Although I found some slightly cheaper mailers available on Amazon, I decided to stick with the Fu Global product because of its excellent quality.

I have purchased many different brands of bubble mailers over the years for home use. They make returns super quick and simple so I always like to have a variety of sizes on hand. This is my first experience with the Fuxury/Fu Global and it will be my last.The Fuxury/Fu Global bubble mailers look and feel like your typical bubble mailer. They were crammed into a very tight plastic wrapping which bent the flaps of the mailers all out of whack. Obviously zero care and consideration was put into the packaging.This particular pack I purchased contains 25 mailers all the same size: 8.5"x12". I like this size for returns since most of my returns are small items like DVD's and stationary items. A DVD fits perfectly inside of this bubble mailer as does a Blu-Ray and a Blu-Ray Combo Pack including a Blu-Ray disc and DVD disc.The mailers themselves are super thin. The paper feels as thin as a standard white mailing envelope, the non padded ones you would mail letters in. The bubble wrap inside is super super thin, like there are barely any bubbles inside at all. They are really flat and the bubbles can't be popped, just too thin.I was willing to look past the thinness of these bubble mailers and I prepared six of them to return a bunch of scrunchies that did not work out for me. Each bubble mailer got a pack of scrunchies and a return bar code. The bubble mailers seal nicely and don't need reinforced with tape which is nice.The price was also good for these bubble mailers, cheaper than other brands. I'm always looking to save a few bucks and I figured brand doesn't matter. That's when I looked at the bubble mailer and could see the barcode on the paper inside. Yes, these bubble mailers are so thin you can see what's in them!I was very disappointed by this. I tried to capture a photograph of it, but it's sort of hard to photograph from the outside of the bubble mailer. If you look closely you can see the black bar code inside of the bubble mailer. Additionally more than one of the mailers had holes in them when I received them.Of all of the brands I've tried over years, these bubble mailers are the worst of the worst. I will not be purchasing this brand again in the future.

I was concerned when I first received these mailers because they seem thinner and flimsier than the mailers you can purchase in an office supply store. But after using these for more than a month to mail out Blu-rays and DVDs and haven't received a single complaint about anything arriving damaged so they appear to be better quality than I expected. I would strongly recommend using a strip of packing tape across the closed flap (which is something I always do anyway) because these have just enough glue to seal the envelope but stand a pretty good chance of coming open after you mail them out.If you are sending something that's relatively valuable or fragile I would at least consider spending the extra money on higher quality mailers--although I have doubled these up several times when I needed more cushioning with good results so far. It's really up to you--these mailers are definitely an excellent value for everyday use but you can easily find thicker, sturdier craft mailers with more bubble padding and stronger adhesive in the flap if you don't mind spending the extra money.

I use these to mail my paper crafts. I have had to cut down my 8.5x11 heavy cardstock paper that I use for packaging which is not an issue for me but if you need to mail something of that size and are not able to fold or cut, you will have a hard time packaging. Other than that, these are of great quality and have not had any issues when mailed.

These envelopes were advertised as being 8.5 x 12 inches, with a "useable size" of 8.5 x 11 inches. There is no way that these envelopes are 12 inches period. They are merely 11 inches long. The width is the advertised 8.5 inches, though. Further, they are much flimsier than I'd thought.I would not purchase these again.
