    Where to buy padded mailers (envelopes) -- the ones padded with macerated paper

    I know that this is a long shot, but has anyone seen padded mailers that use macerated paper (not bubblewrap and not corrugated cardboard) for the padding on sale anywhere in HK?

    Something like this:

    Amazon.com: Jiffy Padded Mailer, Self-Seal, Heavy Duty, Gold Kraft, # 6, 12-1/2"x19", 50/CT SEL86027: Discount Office Items

    HK has no real brick and mortar office supply stores to call and ask and a quick perusal of the bigboxx.com site didn't yield any padded mailers with paper padding.

    Asking here before I try calling up some of the bigger mom-and-pop stationary-shops-cum-ancestor-worship-supplies stores.

    Thanks in advance!

    I've seen them in Bookazine, in Prince's Building.

    Awesome. I'll be going to Olivers for groceries early this evening and can pop in there.

    Thanks!

    Hiya - I was in PB so I went and checked....they only have the plastic insert ones, no more paper padding. Sorry!

    Better to try the stationary store like PDLM recommended. Anything in the Princes building will be marked up a few hundred %.

    I'm pretty sure I saw these at the stationery store on Stanley Street in Central. Not sure what it's called, but its in line with all the photo stores. They seem to have pretty much everything.

    True re the cost factor but when I'm buying only one or two things, for convenience (barely have time to run errands!) it's a quick run over from the office

    When shopping for bulk items, I have used these guys before:

    Yat Fat Stationers
    2nd Floor, Yat Fat Building
    44-46 Des Voeux Road,Central
    (Entrance on Li Yuen Street)
    Tel: 2523 2628
