Courier Bags

Courier Bags for Fast, Secure Satchel Dispatch

Courier bags are strong plastic satchels for posting non-fragile goods at volume. Made from tough, water-resistant plastic, they keep the contents dry and protected through the courier network, and a tamper-evident seal shows if a bag has been opened in transit. The peel and seal strip closes the bag in one press, so a packer can fill and seal order after order without tape. They come in weight-rated sizes to match the parcel, which makes them the everyday satchel for apparel, soft goods and other non-fragile items. Premium Packaging supplies courier bags in bulk to eCommerce, dispatch and retail operations across Australia, delivered from our Sydney base.

What Courier Bags Are Used For

• eCommerce dispatch, posting apparel, soft goods and other non-fragile items
• High-volume fulfilment, fast fill-and-seal satchels for busy dispatch benches
• Secure delivery, tamper-evident bags for goods that need a sealed trail
• Weather protection, water-resistant satchels for items that must stay dry

Why a Courier Bag

For non-fragile goods, a courier bag is lighter and faster than a box and tougher than a plain mailer. The water-resistant plastic shrugs off rain and spray on the truck, the opaque bag keeps the contents private, and the tamper-evident seal gives both sender and recipient confidence the bag arrived unopened. The peel and seal strip closes it in one motion, which keeps a high-volume dispatch bench moving. For soft, unbreakable items, it is the quickest way to get an order out the door.

Courier Bags or Padded Mailers

Match the satchel to the contents. Courier bags are unpadded, so they suit non-fragile goods such as clothing and soft items where cushioning is not needed. For items that need protection, a padded mailer is the better choice: white paper padded mailers are bubble-lined and water-resistant, and brown Jiffy mailers use recyclable paper-fibre padding. For extra cushioning in a bag, a bubble bag adds a bubble lining. Choose a courier bag for soft goods, and a padded mailer where the item needs cushioning.

Choosing the Right Size

Match the size to the parcel weight. The sizes are weight-rated, from the smallest bag for light items through to 1kg, 3kg and 5kg sizes for heavier parcels, so the bag matches the courier weight tier without excess material. A size close to the item keeps the parcel neat and the satchel sealed. Keeping two or three sizes on hand covers most of what a dispatch bench sends.
