Self-Sealing Shipping options

Did you know that there are now adhesives that will be put on without requiring expensive tapes and glues? It’s become more popular than ever before, and also makes the packaging process not only simpler, but also more economical for everyone involved. 

Here, we’ll go over what self-sealing solutions are, and how they differ from using the regular tape to secure everything.

What Self-Sealers do 

These sealers range from vacuum sealing, which creates a natural vacuum you just close off, to various containers that have a little Strip you take off and push together. This is oftentimes common with mailers and other items. 

While not all of them may be eco friendly, for the most part they are.   They don’t create as much stress on materials for the planet, and also makes them simpler for everyone involved to use. 



They’re becoming more popular for a variety of reasons: they’re cheaper, cost less materials and resources, and also save a buttload of time. Think about it. if you’re always just shipping out items, one way to save efficiency is to make it so that the person doesn’t have to get some tape or glue down an item. 

It also saves time too. Some of those adhesives take a while to finally seal, and that’s time you could be shipping it out.   with these self-sealing solutions, it changes the game. 

Simplifying without compromising 

One big concern for many people who utilize these self-sealers is the quality. You don't want to use something that will otherwise break down on you if you’re not careful. Self-sealing solutions prevent this, by ensuring that you’re getting the item in its rightful place, without having issues with the quality of the seal. 

Many self-sealers are made with the same type of adhesive that tape is made out of, but they’re already added to the package, in order to improve efficiency.   The packaging process is also cheaper too, cause now you just need to buy the mailers that have the sealant on them, rather than having to buy the packaging and the sealer. 



See how it’s more impactful, and better for the environment? Lots of people are taking advantage of that, and for many, it also means that they’re able to get the package out much faster. It simplifies it all.

In the age of minimalism, where people worry about having too much on their packaging, self-sealers help with this, by providing a more efficient, useful means to drive the packaging process towards success, and also takes off a lot of stress from those who utilize the packaging as well. 

How self-sealing Helps Fulfillment centers 

Self-sealing solutions are a godsend for these places for the sheer reason of volume. 

These fulfillment centers deal with a lot of packaging, and high-volume experiences. It can sometimes become too much for any of them if they’re trying to get the packaging out, and also trying to seal the packaging in a more efficient manner. 

That’s why self-sealers work. It’s simplifying the packaging form, and also makes sure that the packaging process is both quick, and also gets to the point.



In general, it does wonders to help improve this, and caters to the efficiency that many companies go for. When you’re dealing with high-volume times of the year such as during the holidays, it isn’t just a suggestion, but almost a necessity these days, hence why a lot of brands choose to use these self-sealers for shipping.

Consider it today, and see if it improves your packaging output, and reduction of resources on all fronts as well.
