"I have been looking for padded mailing bags in which to ship my recently released books. I found these in a local stationery store, but they were only sold on a per-piece basis. I was pleased to find that they were sold in bulk. They are sturdy, great size to contain a book, and NO PLASTIC!!! This is what I was trying to accomplish--no plastic for the environment."

"Love the horizontal opening."

"I am an author who sends single copies of books out and I have been looking for a recyclable alternative to plastic bubble mailers. I was enthused to read the reviews about this product—and also feel misled by them after receiving these mailers. These are surprisingly thin--flimsy really, and offer little more, are maybe less effective, than wrapping my book in a torn open paper shopping bag. I have since returned them. I found a product made by Earth Hugger (not sold on Amazon) that is completely curbside recyclable and has more padding, more body to it, and even a bit of stiffness that is much more protective of the books I am shipping. I returned these and would highly not recommend them if you want to be sure books mailed arrive to their destinations in good condition."
