Are these durable enough to ship a book?

I don't use these to mail books. I used a bubble envelope to mail books. Or a tyvek envelope. These are great in sending clothes!

I don't think by itself. You would have to add some padding around the book, and I THINK you would be OK.

I would definitely not mail anything fragile in these. It is about the equivelance of a ziplock bag. Maybe small framed prints wrapped in bubble wrap.

I would say yes they are durable. Once my PaperWhite was put in this case almost 6 months ago not once have I had reason go even think about the tabs. They hold the reader just fine. The tabs are not flimsy. If anything the elastic will eventually stretch out from pulling over the top tab (holds the back of the case to the reader when it is open). By the time the elastic gives way i am pretty sure the reader will probably be needing to replaced due to issues with use and age. I am very happy with this case.

They are average. Not cheap, but not build for outdoor use. We let our kids use these for all their DVDs and they handle the book like kids - so far, nothing has broke from normal wear & tear.

Absolutely, no problem at all. They are beautiful and tough. Arrived without any breakage. Very happy with purchase.

It should work fine for documents. Just fold over to fit better. If only a few documents I would probably line both sides with cardboard for some stiffness. I have been shipping books hard and soft cover without any problems. Hope this helps

I would say no. You magazines would get creased. I have mailed books but I have always used sort of packaging around the items so it wouldn't get banged up.

I got these with a few books, so they were in a larger box with bubble wrap. They seemed to be protected pretty well and I haven't come across a broken one yet.

I use these to ship 4 + pounds of boots with the box in these and have not had any issues. I am sure you could add a lot more weight without any problems. These things are very strong and I have shipped 1,000's of items (from the smallest mailers to the largest) in these and NEVER had the package break. Hope this helps.

I would think they would be durable enough for gentle play. My grandson is going to use them to store his Football cards. I hope that this helps!

I can't say for sure, but I think they are sturdy enough that it should be okay! I pounded mine in with a sledge hammer (gently).

Yes as long as they are not a lot of pages. I use them to put the cover on top and the disc on the bottom. Bye bye 100 lbs of plastic :)

We use them as a moisture barrier for our books after we have packaged them with cardboard and bubble wrap. Would not be advisable to ship book in this alone. No protection. Bill BBBBooks

I think so. I use them for many of my hard cover books some over 300 pages thick

They should. They are holding up some pretty heavy books, so I don't see why they wouldn't

I don't think that they would hold up to the weather at all. They are simply meant to place over a page and help someone read more easily.
