What size bag or mailer for a hoodie or sweater?
Short answer · hoodie or sweater (folded) to carry
V-Bottom Flat Handle Paper Bags, Large
30 × 38 cm (9 cm V-fold) · 12" × 15" · rated to 4 kg (estimated)
A folded hoodie is bulky rather than heavy — about 35 × 28 cm and 6 cm thick, at around 600 g. That thickness is what pushes it out of a small mailer and into a large one, and in store it needs a carrier that is at least 30 cm wide. Knitwear compresses a little, so a bag that looks snug on paper usually closes comfortably; two hoodies, though, need real depth.

What to watch for
- Fold hoodies with the hood tucked in before measuring — it can add 3–4 cm of thickness.
- For shipping, a large paper mailer beats a box for a single sweater: lighter, and cheaper on volumetric weight.
- Two or more heavy knits sit better in a square-bottom bag than a flat carrier.
