peel and seal packaging saves you time and money, reduces waste, saves you money on tape and labour costs and speeds up pack times.

As a supplier, an easy win when it comes to saving time and money is to use peel and seal packaging.

A peel and seal strip negates the need for tape and though sustainable packing tape can be a thing of branded beauty, it is also cumbersome, time consuming to use and an extra, unnecessary expense.

Packages can be closed really efficiently with peel and seal strips; the glue adhesive is environmentally friendly and requires minimum effort to close. However, when sealed, it is incredibly strong and hard to tamper with. This is important, because it demonstrates security - if you’re a company shipping consumable products, coffee or tea subscriptions for example, it is vital that your product reaches your customer uncontaminated and in optimum condition and what’s more, your customer will want to see with their own eyes that this is quite clearly the case.

As a result of their strength, peel and seal strips also contribute to reducing the risk of the cardboard envelope or box being bent, crushed or squashed during transit. What’s more, with minimal effort, they look neat, stylish and smart. An added bonus is that despite their robust nature, as a result of their tear open design, your customers will be able to get their hands on their order quickly and easily – no sharp knives, box cutters or scissors required. Now packaging doesn’t have to be forced open or ripped and so can be reused or recycled far more easily.

Let’s take a look at some of the most popular peel and seal packaging options available:

Book Wraps – The most versatile packaging format in our range, book wraps offer a snug, secure fit for books, board games, printed materials, and small parcels. Manufactured using an efficient single-pass print, cut, glue, and palletisation process, they deliver unbeatable pricing direct from the manufacturer. This also means faster lead times and lower emissions. Their all-in-one design includes a peel and seal closure and tear strip, helping speed up fulfilment and create a better unboxing experience.
Postal Envelopes – Ideal for slimline items like prints, garments, or books, these rigid cardboard envelopes offer excellent protection against bending. The peel and seal strip makes packing fast and mess-free, while the tear strip ensures easy opening on delivery.
LP Mailers – Specifically designed for shipping vinyl records, our peel and seal LP mailers feature reinforced flaps and corner protection to keep records safe in transit. The strong adhesive closure guarantees security without the need for tape.
Padded Paper Mailing Bags – For delicate items that need extra cushioning, these fully paper-based mailing bags combine a protective inner padding layer with peel and seal convenience. No plastic, no fuss – just reliable, recyclable protection.
Flutelopes (Fluted Envelopes) – A lightweight yet robust alternative to cardboard-backed envelopes. These fluted envelopes are ideal for photos, prints, or small catalogues. Featuring peel and seal closures and recyclable construction, they balance strength and sustainability.

Peel and seal boxes and envelopes come in all shapes and sizes. There’s one suitable for every product, big or small, fat or thin, long or short, fragile or robust. The Packaging Club’s paper-based, peel and seal tear strips use no plastic and are designed to support efficient, secure and sustainable shipping at scale.

So, to sum up: less hassle, less risk, less mess, less waste, less plastic, less money.
