Use the disclosed flat-mailer rule
Add product thickness plus 1.5 inches to packed width, and thickness plus 3.5 inches to packed length.
Estimate a flat poly mailer's minimum outside dimensions from the product as packed, then round up and test the real fit before buying in bulk.
Minimum poly mailer size
10.50 × 14.50 inWidth × usable length, rounded upward. Test the packed product before bulk ordering.ONE CLEAR OPERATING SIGNAL
Measure the folded product as packed, add thickness to both directions, then add the supplier's width and usable-length allowances.

THE FIELD NOTES
Use the result now, then read the practical notes for assumptions, examples, limitations, and the choices behind it.
Minimum width × usable length under the disclosed Uline rule
Add product thickness plus 1.5 inches to packed width, and thickness plus 3.5 inches to packed length.
Supplier outside dimensions may exclude or describe the sealing flap separately.
Each minimum dimension rounds upward to the selected increment; it never rounds down.
Fabric compression, seams, gussets, closures, tolerances, and irregular shapes can change real fit.
THE PRODUCT IS NEXT
Add product thickness plus 1.5 inches to packed width, and thickness plus 3.5 inches to packed length.
The rule comes from Uline's mailer sizing guide and applies to flat poly mailers, not padded bubble mailers.
Supplier outside dimensions may exclude or describe the sealing flap separately.
Compare the calculated usable length with the exact stocked product specification.
Each minimum dimension rounds upward to the selected increment; it never rounds down.
Choose a stocked size that meets or exceeds both minimum dimensions.
Fabric compression, seams, gussets, closures, tolerances, and irregular shapes can change real fit.
Test the actual packed product before buying in bulk; this calculator does not guarantee fit.
Measure the product as packed. Under the Uline rule, add thickness plus 1.5 inches to product width and thickness plus 3.5 inches to product length.
Not always. Supplier outside dimensions may exclude the sealing flap, so compare the calculated usable length with the exact product specification.
No. Flexible goods, gussets, seams, closures, and manufacturing tolerances affect fit. Test the actual packed product before bulk ordering.
