One of the most recognised names in the packaging materials and postal supplies industry Jiffy bags are one of the most sought after lines in our office equipment superstore Officeprofiles.

Founded in 1896, the Jiffy organisation was originally a manufacturer of wooden wool products and didn't move into the padded mailng bags market until after 1950. The first ranges that Jiffy produced were made using a brown (Kraft paper) outer envelope, a thinner paper inner envelopes and shredded newspaper as a quilted protection system between the two. These days the brand name Jiffy is as associated with padded mailing bags as Hoover is with the household vacuum cleaner. Jiffy was the first company in the world top manufacture this type of product and these days Jiffy envelopes (known to most as 'jiffy bags') are available in white and brown formats and with two styles of protection.

Padded bags

The traditional way of making Jiffy bags (but with modern materials and production techniques) with the Kraft paper padding are ideal for products requiring extra mailing protection, the Jiffy range of padded bags contain up to 76% recycled paper padding and they can also be recycled themselves after they have been used.
