Why Choose Paper Wrap for Direct Mail

Paper wrap is increasingly popular for mailing magazines, catalogues, brochures and charity appeals. It combines the protection of an envelope, the visual presence of a printed pack, and the sustainability credentials today’s audiences expect.

Key benefits of paper wrap mailing

A sustainable solution

100% recyclable and certified under the FSC® scheme, paper wrap demonstrates your commitment to reducing waste and greener business practices.

Want your direct mail to align with your environmental messaging? We can help.

Lower UK
postage costs

With Mailmark® discounts available, paper wrap can reduce postage spend, particularly for A5 items under 100g where polywrap isn’t eligible.

We’ll compare postage savings side by side for you.

Striking design opportunities

Paper wrap acts as a blank canvas for full colour print, branding, and personalised messages.

Need help with artwork or messaging? Just ask.

Multi-item mailing
made easy

Wrapping multiple items of different shapes and sizes is easy with paper wrap, keeping everything secure in one neat package.

Tell us what you’re sending, and we’ll recommend the best setup.

Economy at
scale

For larger print runs, paper wrap can be more economical than envelopes without compromising quality or presentation.

Ask us to quote your next campaign—we’ll break it down clearly.

When Polywrap Might Be the Better Fit

There are occasions when polywrap mailings make practical and commercial sense:

  • Weather protection – polywrap offers stronger moisture protection during storage or transport.
  • Visibility – your magazine or catalogue cover design remains fully on show.
  • Cost on smaller runs – polywrap can be more affordable for low-volume campaigns.
  • Weight-sensitive campaigns – as polywrap is lighter than paper, it helps avoid tipping over strict postage thresholds.

At The Mailing People, we continue to offer a full range of polywrap services in the UK, ensuring you get the right balance of cost, impact, and practicality.
