Amber PPC One-Slide Mailers for 25 × 75 mm Glass Slides — 50/Bag
These Caplugs® Evergreen one-slide mailers are molded from polypropylene copolymer (PPC) and sized to accept a single standard 25 × 75 mm laboratory glass slide, providing impact-resistant protection during postal, courier, and interlaboratory transport. The amber body reduces light exposure for photosensitive specimens — including fluorescent, IHC, and special-stain slides — while enabling color-coded batch identification across anatomic pathology and cytology workflows. Supplied non-sterile in convenient 50/Bag format under part number 240-3071-N80, these mailers are lot-numbered for full traceability.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will these mailers fit all standard microscope slides?
Yes — the interior of each mailer is sized for the standard 25 × 75 mm laboratory glass slide format used in histology, cytology, hematology, IHC, and microbiology workflows. Slides outside this format may not seat correctly.
Does the amber color actually protect photosensitive slides?
The amber PPC body attenuates visible light, reducing incidental light exposure during transport for fluorescent-labeled, immunohistochemistry, and other photosensitive preparations. For slides requiring complete light exclusion, additional opaque overwrapping is advisable.
Are these mailers appropriate for regulated clinical and pathology laboratories?
Yes — each bag carries a lot number to support the traceability documentation required by CAP, CLIA, and ISO 15189 accredited laboratories. The mailers are non-sterile and BPA/phthalate-free, consistent with typical anatomic pathology consumable standards.
How many mailers come in a bag, and can larger quantities be ordered?
Each bag contains 50 mailers. LabSupplies.com offers tiered institutional pricing for larger order quantities — contact our team for volume quotes suitable for high-throughput pathology or cytology departments.
