jiffy bag
Cushioned mailing envelope
A jiffy bag is a padded envelope used for mailing fragile items, lined with bubble wrap or cushioning material to protect contents during shipping.
The term comes from the Jiffy brand but is used generically in British English: I sent the necklace in a jiffy bag.
Americans more often say padded envelope or bubble mailer.
