mail pouch

Carrier's delivery sack

A mail pouch is a sturdy bag used to transport letters and packages, typically by postal workers or mail carriers.

The term evokes an earlier era of mail delivery—horseback riders, stagecoaches, railway mail cars—though such pouches remain in use.

The courier slung the mail pouch over his shoulder.

Mail Pouch was also a chewing tobacco brand famous for its barn advertisements across rural America.
