These Caplugs® Evergreen five-slide mailers are designed to safely transport and mail up to five standard 25×75 mm glass slides simultaneously, making them the practical choice for multi-stain panel submissions, IHC marker sets, and complete biopsy level series. Constructed from polypropylene and color-coded green for instant visual identification, they ship non-sterile in bulk packs of 100 to support high-throughput anatomic pathology, cytology, and reference laboratory workflows. Lot-numbered for CAP/CLIA traceability, these mailers deliver reliable fragile-slide protection from bench to recipient.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will these mailers fit standard 25×75 mm glass slides?
Yes — the mailers are specifically sized to accommodate standard 25×75 mm laboratory glass slides, the format used in histology, cytology, hematology, and most clinical slide-based workflows.
Why choose green mailers instead of a single color for all cases?
Green serves as a color-coded identifier within a multi-color mailer system. Laboratories can assign green to a specific panel type, organ system, case priority, or department so that staff recognize the correct category at a glance from mailing through receipt and sorting — reducing mis-routing without additional labeling steps.
Are these mailers lot-numbered, and do they support CAP/CLIA traceability?
Yes — each bag carries a lot number, enabling laboratories to document the consumable lot used for a case submission, which satisfies traceability documentation requirements under CAP, CLIA, and ISO 15189 quality programs.
Are the mailers sterile, and can they be autoclaved?
These mailers are supplied non-sterile, which is standard for slide transport applications. Polypropylene is autoclavable as a material; however, since sterility is not a stated product claim, labs with specific sterility requirements should verify suitability with their quality team before autoclaving.
