EcoEnclose is popular (best for: Sustainable mailers and boxes), but it is not right for everyone. Common reasons to switch: pricier than generic poly mailers and custom orders take time. Here are the alternatives in packaging & shipping supplies, with what each does best.
| Alternative | Price | Best for | Standout strength |
|---|---|---|---|
| Uline | Bulk pricing; varies | Bulk boxes, mailers and tape | Huge selection |
| noissue | Custom orders from low minimums | Branded tissue, stickers and mailers | Low minimums |
| Poly Mailers (bulk) | About $0.05-$0.15 each in bulk | Shipping clothing cheaply | Very cheap per unit |
| 4x6 Thermal Labels (bulk) | About $0.02-$0.04 per label in bulk | Anyone using a thermal printer | Pennies per label |
Uline carries every kind of box, mailer, bubble wrap and tape in bulk with fast shipping. Prices drop sharply at higher quantities.
noissue offers custom printed tissue paper, stickers and compostable mailers with low minimums, letting small resellers add a branded unboxing experience.
Poly mailers are the cheapest, lightest way to ship clothing and soft goods. Buying in packs of 100+ brings the unit cost down to pennies.
