What is a Jiffy Bag?
A Jiffy bag is a padded envelope designed to protect items during postal delivery. It typically consists of a strong paper outer layer and a bubble wrap lining inside, offering cushioning to fragile goods such as electronics, jewellery, or documents.
These bags provide a lightweight yet durable packaging solution to secure contents and reduce shipping damage, making them a common choice in e-commerce and retail sectors.
Are Jiffy Bags Recyclable in the UK?
Jiffy bags are widely used for mailing and packaging, but questions about their recyclability often arise. In the UK & Ireland, standard Jiffy bags combine a paper exterior with a bubble wrap interior, which makes recycling more complex than with single-material packaging. Many local recycling facilities do not accept mixed materials like padded bags in general paper recycling streams.
However, some recycling centres or specialist programs do accept them if the paper and plastic components are separated before disposal.
Are Jiffy Bags Classed as Letters?
Jiffy bags are generally classified as letters or packets based on their size and weight. Smaller, thinner Jiffy bags may qualify as letters, while larger or thicker padded bags often fall into the packet or parcel category. Understanding these classifications helps with correct postage and delivery expectations. View Royal Mail parcel sizes blog to find out more information on letter sizes
Superior Protection
Abriso Jiffy Bags feature a high-quality bubble lining that cushions your items during transit. This protective layer absorbs shocks and prevents damage from rough handling, ensuring your products arrive safely every time. The tough outer paper layer adds an extra level of durability, resisting tears and punctures.
Sustainable Options
Many Abriso Jiffy Bags are FSC certified and made with sustainability in mind. Choosing these bags supports eco-friendly packaging efforts by using responsibly sourced materials.
Are Jiffy Bags Waterproof?
Standard Jiffy bags are not fully waterproof. They feature a paper outer layer combined with an inner bubble wrap lining, which offers cushioning but does not provide complete water resistance. While the bubble wrap helps protect contents from minor moisture and impacts, the paper exterior can absorb water, potentially compromising the package and its contents if exposed to heavy rain or wet conditions.
For shipments that require more protection against moisture, there are waterproof or water-resistant alternatives available, such as poly mailers or specially coated padded envelopes. If your items need protection from water during transit, consider these options or use an additional waterproof layer inside the Jiffy bag.
