Georgia-Pacific Expands EarthKraft Recyclable Mailers with Larger Sizes and Gusseted Options
Georgia-Pacific, LLC has announced the expansion of its EarthKraft line of curbside recyclable mailers, now offering larger and gusseted versions of its unpadded mailer. Initially introduced in late 2023, the recyclable unpadded mailer is available in four standard sizes and can be customized for shipping a variety of items. The new gusseted versions, with side and bottom expansions, provide additional capacity for larger shipments.

The EarthKraft mailer line, which debuted with a padded version in 2020, has become a popular, sustainable option for e-commerce shipping. Georgia-Pacific recently reached the milestone of producing its two billionth recyclable padded mailer and has invested in new production lines for the unpadded mailer, beginning with a recently opened facility in McDonough, Georgia. Additional lines are planned for 2025.

With strong sustainability credentials, EarthKraft mailers carry a Widely Recycled label from the How2Recycle program and are sourced from certified suppliers through the Sustainable Forestry Initiative (SFI-00007). Georgia-Pacific supports responsible forest management, and all wood used in EarthKraft mailers is sourced from the U.S., where forest areas are stable or growing. For every tree used in production, at least one is replanted.

“Recent consumer research indicates that people are increasingly seeking environmentally friendly purchasing options, including packaging,” said Adam Ganz, Vice President of E-Commerce Packaging at Georgia-Pacific.“

EarthKraft mailers address this demand, offering an affordable solution for brands and e-commerce companies to exceed customer expectations, enhance loyalty, and achieve sustainability goals.”

Georgia-Pacific’s new EarthKraft production line also includes advanced printing capabilities, allowing brands to create multi-color packaging that enhances their marketing efforts.
