Frequently Asked Questions
What slide size do these mailers fit?
They accommodate standard 75 mm x 25 mm (3 in. x 1 in.) microscope slides. The 1-, 2-, and 3-slide options correspond to the number of slides held per mailer.
How are these mailers sold?
Each SKU ships as a case of 1,000 mailers. Pricing listed is per case, with tiered discounts available for institutional and grant-funded purchases.
How does the snap-close lid secure the slides?
The integrated polypropylene lid snaps shut to hold slides flat and prevent shifting during transit, reducing breakage and edge chipping without adhesives or tape.
Are these mailers reusable or autoclavable?
They are durable polypropylene and can be reused for storage; however, they are supplied non-sterile and are intended primarily for slide transport and archiving rather than autoclave processing.
