padded envelopes

Bubble-lined shipping pouches

Padded envelopes are mailing envelopes lined with cushioning material—typically bubble wrap or paper padding—to protect fragile contents during shipping.

They bridge the gap between standard envelopes and boxes: sturdy enough for books, electronics, or small breakables, but lighter and cheaper to mail.

I sent the vintage record in a padded envelope.
