Padded Envelopes

Where can I buy padded envelopes (jiffy bag type of thing) cheaply? I needed a couple today and they were 1.49ea in my local PO. I don't mind buying in reasonably large quantities as long as they are CHEAP!

    I get mine from the Pound shop that is near me. I get 5 for a pound - however they are not huge.

    I'm after ones that are big enough to send a book in. Probably about A4 size.

    Hello mjk

    It's just a thought........why not buy some A4 manilla envelopes and bubble wrap sheet (if you don't already have some in the home).

    Cut a piece of bubble wrap to A3 size, fold it (don't cut it) and slot inside the A4 envelope. Then slot your letter/documents inside the bubble wrap sleeve.

    This option will work for whatever size manilla envelopes you choose so could be useful for the future too?

    Hope this helps.

    My local poundland has the following:

    10 X bubble lined envelopes size 140mmx195 mm

    8 X size 170mmx245mm

    5 X 230mm x 320mm

    A paperback book will fit in the middle size envelope and the bigger size envelope easily takes a large hardback book with room to spare.

    When I have bought books, they come in the post with bubble wrap and brown paper! or if I have bought off amazon they are in a folded bit of brown cardboard!

    Otherwise I did buy some large ones in poundland! they were big and you get 4
