Courier Bag Supplier in Malaysia for Custom Printed Poly Mailers
Custom printed courier bags in self-sealing LDPE film, made to your measurements and printed up to 8 colours. Plastik Malaysia has supplied flexible packaging to Malaysian businesses since 2015.
A courier bag is the standard way Malaysian online sellers ship soft and semi-rigid goods without the cost or bulk of a box, also called a mailing bag, mail bag, or postage bag. Plastik Malaysia supplies custom printed courier bags to businesses that ship directly to customers: online fashion sellers, small business owners handling their own fulfilment, and any brand that wants its own name on the parcel rather than a plain courier-supplied bag.
Who should use a courier bag, and who should not
A courier bag earns its place when what you are shipping is soft, semi-rigid or reasonably light, such as clothing, small accessories, documents or packaged flat items. It is the wrong choice when the product is fragile, heavy or an awkward rigid shape that needs box protection against impact. In those cases a corrugated box or a padded mailer is the better fit, and we will say so rather than sell a courier bag that does not suit the job.
What a courier bag actually means
A courier bag is a self-sealing plastic mailer used to ship parcels directly to a customer. It is also called a poly mailer, mailing bag, parcel bag or postage bag, all referring to the same product. Unlike a box, it needs no tape or extra packaging to close, which is why online sellers use it as the default way to send soft goods through a courier service.
Courier bag specifications
Every courier bag job is made to your size rather than picked from a stock chart. The specification below is our standard for custom printed courier bags, and the exact size, thickness and print treatment are set by what you are shipping.
| Thickness | Recommended based on the weight and size of what you are shipping |
|---|---|
| Material | LDPE |
| Finish | Side seal or bottom seal, with a self-adhesive strip for closing |
| Film colours | Clear, white, blue, green, yellow, pink, black, grey |
| Size | Made to your measurements |
| Printing | Up to 8 colours, or plain film with no printing |
| Order size | Orders start from 5,000 pieces, actual figure confirmed in the quote |
| Production time | 4 to 6 weeks from artwork approval and deposit payment |
Choosing your courier bag size
We do not work from a fixed size chart. Every courier bag is cut to the dimensions of what you are shipping, with a small allowance added so it seals properly. If you are not sure what to specify, these are the general categories most Malaysian online sellers use to describe a parcel:
| Small, under A5 | Accessories, jewellery, small folded items |
|---|---|
| A4, the most common | The default most online sellers ship, sized to a standard document or a folded garment |
| A3 and larger | Bulkier soft goods, or more than one item in a single parcel |
Send us the item you are shipping, or its rough dimensions, and we will confirm the size and film thickness in your quote.
Poly mailer, mailing bag, parcel bag: different name, same product
Malaysian buyers search for this product under several names, and all of them point to what Plastik Malaysia supplies. Poly mailer is the term used internationally and increasingly in Malaysia for a plastic courier bag. Mailing bag and postage bag usually mean the same self-sealing film used for documents or light parcels. Whichever term you use when you get in touch, the product and the specification process are the same.
Which businesses in Malaysia order custom courier bags
Online fashion and accessory sellers use custom printed courier bags so the parcel carries their brand from the moment it arrives, not just the product inside. Small business owners who pack their own orders use it to look established without the overhead of a full packaging line. Subscription box and repeat-order businesses use it because the branding is seen on every delivery, which a plain courier-supplied bag cannot offer.
How ordering works
| 1. Send your specification | Bag type, size, thickness and quantity. If you are not certain yet, send what you have and we will fill the gaps. |
|---|---|
| 2. Receive a quote | Pricing and lead time confirmed against your specification. |
| 3. Confirm artwork | Your print file checked against the finish and film colour before production starts. |
| 4. Production | 4 to 6 weeks from artwork approval and deposit payment through to delivery. |
Three things buyers raise before they order
We already have a supplier
That is a good position, and it does not need to change. A supplier who already understands your product carries value that is not easily replaced. Many businesses that run a stable operation still keep a second supplier on file purely for continuity, particularly around peak season or when one film type runs into a supply delay.
Is not a courier bag just what the courier gives us for free
Many couriers do supply a plain bag, and it works for shipping. What it does not do is show your brand. A customer unwraps a plain bag and sees the courier’s name before they see yours. A custom printed bag puts your logo in front of the customer at the one moment they are paying full attention, the moment their order arrives.
5,000 pieces is too many for us
That figure is a starting point, not a promise for every product. The most direct way to reduce the commitment is to settle on one size first, or choose plain film with no printing so the same bag can serve more than one product with a separate label.
Frequently asked questions
Is Plastik Malaysia a courier bag manufacturer?
No. Plastik Malaysia is a courier bag supplier in Malaysia, not a manufacturer, and we do not own a factory. We specify the job, control the artwork and print process, manage production and deliver to you. What that means in practice is that you get one accountable point of contact for the specification, the printing and the delivery date, and you are not the one chasing a production floor.
What is a courier bag?
A courier bag is a self-sealing plastic mailer used to ship parcels directly to a customer, without the need for a box, tape or extra packaging. It is also known as a poly mailer, mailing bag or parcel bag.
What size courier bag do I need for an A4 item?
Most Malaysian sellers ship an A4-sized item, such as folded clothing or a document, in what is generally described as an A4 courier bag. We do not work from a fixed chart though, so the exact size is confirmed once you send us the item’s dimensions.
Are courier bags waterproof?
The LDPE film used for courier bags is inherently water resistant, which protects against rain and general moisture during transit.
Can I print my logo on courier bags?
Yes, up to 8 colours. Most sellers print a logo and a return address, which keeps the design simple while still carrying the brand on every delivery.
What is the minimum order for custom courier bags?
Orders start from 5,000 pieces. That is a floor, not a fixed figure. The actual minimum varies by film type and format, so the number that applies to your job is confirmed in your quote.
How long does production take?
4 to 6 weeks from artwork approval and deposit payment, regardless of order size. Sending your artwork and confirming the deposit early is the only lever you have over when that clock starts.
