Do you also offer paperwrapping?

Yes. While polywrap is often the more affordable choice for low-volume runs, sustainable paperwrapping is available as an alternative. For A5 packs weighing under 100g it can even be cheaper as it may qualify for Mailmark discounts that polywrap is not eligible for. We advise on which works out cheaper for your specification.

How many items can you enclose in one polywrap?

Up to ten items can be enclosed by machine in a single pack. Larger or unusually shaped combinations can be hand-fulfilled where needed.

Will polywrapping affect my postage cost?

Polywrapping can keep costs down by protecting non-standard sizes and letting several items travel as one. We model every postage option to find the lowest band for your mailing.

Turnaround

Recyclable Polywrapping

Polywrapping protects publications in transit, presents covers cleanly and keeps postage competitive. It is the practical choice for catalogues, magazines and multi-item packs that need to arrive in good condition without pushing up cost.

The recyclable clear film wraps single items or several together in one pass, holds non-standard sizes securely and shows your cover straight away. We advise on format at brief stage so your mailing runs efficiently and lands in the lowest postage band.

Is this right for your mailing?

Catalogues and brochures

Multi-page retail and B2B pieces that need to arrive flat and undamaged.

Membership and welcome packs

Several items enclosed together in one wrap, from cards to welcome letters.

Prospectuses

School, college and university prospectuses are often heavier documents that need extra protection.

Annual reports and governance documents

Formal reports and updates to stakeholders, trustees, shareholders and members must arrive looking pristine.

Non-standard sizes and shapes

Mailings that do not fit a standard envelope and would otherwise cost more to send.

High-volume campaigns

Large runs where automated wrapping keeps the cost per item down.

Fast, automated wrapping

Your items are wrapped by machine in a single pass, whether that is one piece or several enclosed together. Our machines can enclose and wrap up to ten items at a speed of up to 6,000 items per hour at sizes from C6 to SRA4.

Built to protect

The clear film holds contents securely through sorting and delivery, keeping catalogues flat and covers clean all the way to the letterbox.

Branded carrier sheets

Every polywrapped pack can include a paper carrier sheet for the address, laser printed in full colour with your images and branding.

Two sides, two messages

Polywrap carrier sheets can be printed double-sided, allowing for the addition of a personalised promotional offer or letter. This adds a second targeted message to every pack without a separate insert.

Sustainable production

Recyclable polywrap
Our standard polywap is made from recycled materials and is 100 per cent recyclable.
Solar-powered production
Much of our energy comes from solar panels at our Portsmouth facility. On a sunny day, we can generate 80 per cent of our requirements through solar power, supporting our significantly lower carbon footprint than the industry average.
Paperwrapping available
As well as polywrapping, we offer kerbside recyclable paperwrapping. While both paper and plastic wrap can be recycled, paperwrap is the ultimate biodegradable wrapping.
Simitri HD toner
Our Konica Minolta digital press uses Simitri HD toner, allowing for lower fusing temperature and reduced energy use.

Keeping your postage cost as low as possible

Postage is typically the highest cost in any mailing campaign. We always aim to secure the lowest prices, applying on your behalf to take advantage of any discounts that are available, such as bulk postage rates for large volumes.

Mailmark®

Mailmark® barcodes are applied where eligible, unlocking the best postage rates. To qualify for Mailmark, items must be machine processable and have addresses that are at least 90 per cent accurate.
240mm x 160mm x 5mm / 100g
The Standard Letter threshold, above which items are classified as Large Letters. Keep your pieces under this and you stay in the lowest postage band. We can advise on size options at brief stage, before designs are committed. For example, Standard Letter sizes using polywrap may be eligible for bulk Mailsort discounts, but will not qualify for Mailmark.
Free postage advice
We model all available postage options and recommend the cheapest solution for your mailing.
