Courier Bag Size Chart for Meesho, Flipkart and Amazon Sellers

September 8, 2026

Picking the wrong courier bag is the most common packaging mistake new marketplace sellers make. Too small and the seal pops or the product creases; too big and you pay for a higher weight slab and the parcel looks careless. This chart maps every standard Indian courier bag size to the Flipkart and Meesho size codes, the products that fit, and the micron you should buy.

Quick answer: pick a bag about 2 inches wider and 2 inches longer than the packed item. Most apparel sellers run on 8 x 10 and 10 x 12 inch bags, footwear and multi-item orders need 12 x 16 inch, and anything above 1 kg or over 16 inches long should go in a carton instead.

Amazon does not use size codes on its printed bags; order by the inch size in the first column. All sizes above are stocked at PAQEE in packs of 50 to 400 in the courier bags collection.

How to measure your product for a courier bag

Pack the item exactly as it will ship, including any inner polybag, tissue or box.
Measure length and width at the widest points, then add the thickness to the width. A 1 inch thick folded T-shirt at 8 x 6 inches needs at least 7 inches of width.
Add 2 inches to each dimension for the seal flap and easy insertion.

Amazon printed	Amazon branding, 60 micron	FBA or Easy Ship orders where a branded parcel builds trust

Common mistakes that cost sellers money

Buying one size for everything. Stock two or three sizes and let the smallest one that fits win. Courier weight slabs in India step at 500 g, so a lighter bag can drop you a slab.
Reusing torn bags. A tamper-evident seal only works once. A reopened bag is a rejected parcel on most marketplaces.
Skipping the inner polybag for garments. Courier bags are waterproof, but a torn corner exposes the product. An inner 25 micron polybag is cheap insurance.
Ignoring the marketplace packaging policy. Flipkart and Meesho expect their size code on printed bags; using the wrong code can trigger a packaging violation.

Frequently asked questions

Which courier bag size is best for Meesho?

Most Meesho apparel orders ship in MB2 (8 x 10 inch) or MB3 (10 x 12 inch). Sarees and kurti sets usually need MB3 or MB3.5, while footwear needs MB4 (12 x 16 inch).

What size courier bag for a T-shirt?

A single folded T-shirt fits an 8 x 10 inch bag. Two or three T-shirts fit a 10 x 12 inch bag. Add an inner polybag to keep the fold neat.

Are 60 micron courier bags worth the extra cost?

For anything with hard edges, weight above 500 g, or a marketplace-printed design, yes. The difference is a few paise per bag and it removes most sorting-cage splits.
