Choosing the Right Size To Determine Width of Mailer: (W) Width of product + (T) Thickness of product + ½"
To Determine Length of Mailer: (L) Length of product + (T) Thickness of product + 2"
Example #1: Tablet: Size of product is 4" × 7½" × 1" ( W × L × T ) (Packaged in a standard video mailer box).
Width of product 4" Length of product 7½"
Thickness of product 1" Thickness of product 1"
+ ½" ½" + 2" 2"
Width of mailer 5½" Length of mailer 10½"
Width Length
For this example, use a #1 mailer (7¼" × 12"), which fits both dimensions. The #0 (6" × 10") size would be too small. Usable depth is approximately 1¼" less than stated except for Jiffy Rigi Bag® and Jiffy ® ShurTuff ® mailers.
