Five-Slide Mailers — Polypropylene, Yellow, 25×75 mm Compatible, 100/Bag (240-3074-Y30)
These yellow polypropylene five-slide mailers are engineered to transport and protect up to five standard 25×75 mm glass slides simultaneously, making them the practical choice for complete panel submissions in anatomic pathology, cytology, and clinical laboratory workflows. Supplied non-sterile in 100/Bag bulk format, they are well-suited for high-throughput departments that mail H&E plus multi-stain panels, IHC marker sets, or sequential biopsy levels as a single case package. The yellow body color provides immediate visual identification for color-coded sorting systems, allowing receiving staff to distinguish panel type, case priority, or department at a glance without reading labels.

Applications
- Anatomic pathology panel submissions: H&E plus multiple special stains or IHC marker panels requiring five glass slides per case
- Sequential biopsy level series transport, where five section slides must travel together in a single mailer
- Hematology and cytology slide sets dispatched for remote or specialist review
- Proficiency testing panel distribution, where the 100/Bag bulk format supports high-volume mailing programs
- Teleconsultation and second-opinion consultations requiring complete case slide submission
- Color-coded laboratory intake workflows in CAP- and CLIA-regulated environments that assign mailer color to panel type, organ system, or case priority for sorting efficiency

Frequently Asked Questions
How many slides fit in each mailer?
Each mailer holds exactly five standard 25×75 mm glass slides, making it suited for complete multi-stain or IHC panel submissions that must travel together in a single unit.
Are these slide mailers sterile?
No — they are supplied non-sterile. Histology, cytology, and pathology slide transport does not ordinarily require sterile packaging, and the non-sterile format keeps per-unit cost low for high-volume mailing programs.
Why choose yellow mailers instead of a single standard color?
Yellow enables color-coded case management: departments can assign specific mailer colors to panel types, organ systems, case priorities, or destination laboratories, so staff at every step from dispatch through receipt and pathologist review can sort cases visually without reading individual labels.
Are these mailers compatible with standard 1 mm thick glass slides?
Yes — the mailers are designed for standard laboratory microscope glass slides measuring 25 mm × 75 mm. Verify slide thickness against your specific slide stock if you use unusually thick or coverslipped preparations.
