You’re losing money on shipping. Not because of postal rates—because your envelopes are failing you. That jewelry piece chipped mid-transit? The A4 catalog bent at the corners? The 1-star review blaming you for a shattered phone screen? All avoidable. The problem isn’t your product. It’s the flimsy, overpriced mailers you’re trusting to defend your brand.
Enter the G4
Padded Envelope—the only shipping armor your e-commerce business will ever need. Not a “maybe it’ll work” bubble mailer. This is Sealed Air-engineered protection, FSC-certified sustainability, and Royal Mail-approved sizing, forged into a single solution trusted by eBay PowerSellers shipping 10,000 units monthly. It’s not just an envelope. It’s a reputation saver. A cost killer. A silent salesperson that turns first-time buyers into repeat addicts.
Why Your Current Envelopes Are Costing You More Than Money
Most padded mailers are designed to look protective, not be protective. That bargain-bin bubble wrap? It pops under pressure. That “water-resistant” coating? A light drizzle soaks through. And those generic sizes? They force you to upship to larger parcels, burning cash on unnecessary postage.
The G4 isn’t a compromise. It’s a surgical strike on shipping mediocrity.

Answer: At 18% lighter than standard padded envelopes, they reduce parcel weight to help lower postage costs—critical for eBay sellers and high-volume shippers.
