**Pre-Order** This item is on pre-order and will be shipped from the 8th of November. If you need mailers urgently, make sure to purchase them in a separate order so they can be sent asap. If you purchase the printer and mailers in one order, the mailers won't be shipped until the 8th.
An amazingly convenient and fast direct thermal printer that can help you print labels like the packaging boss we know you are! Equipped with USB AND Bluetooth functionality (for printing from mobile or tablet), the Pink HERO PRINTER is your new packaging BFF.
For so long we have been asked which is the best direct thermal label printer in Australia, and so we created our own! It took us months to perfect, but it’s officially the best in the market (according to us)...and it's so cute.
What is direct thermal, you ask? It means this printer requires no ink or toner! Save on hundreds of dollars on ink costs over the lifetime of the printer.
This printer works seamlessly with HEROLABEL rolls.

COVID-19 Update:
OFFICE: We're operating as usual.
WAREHOUSE: We're shipping orders the next business day as usual.
AUSTRALIA: Australia Post is currently experiencing some delays in parts of their network due to COVID-19 lockdowns and staff shortages due to COVID-19 positive cases. This is mixed with handling Christmas-peak like parcel volumes nationally. Please order ahead and choose Express Post in checkout if you need products quickly.
INTERNATIONAL (outside Australia):
Some delays, depending on COVID-19 outbreaks in destination country.
There may be delivery delays for non-Australian orders. Please allow more time for your order to arrive and check your tracking link for the latest information before contacting us. If in doubt, contact the shipping carrier directly to obtain further information. When ordering mailers, it's best to keep additional buffer stock to avoid running out during this time.
Contact us for urgent orders: If you are in urgent need of compostable mailers, we can provide a separate shipping quote for non-Australian orders using other shipping carriers who may be delivering faster than our usual carriers. Please contact us if this is an option for you and we can assist.
Dispatch times:
Please note that unforeseen events such as natural disasters can impact dispatch times. Check our website for the most up to date information.
Delivery times:

International orders:
Delivery times: In general, please allow 5-20 business days for delivery once your order has been shipped. Delivery times vary from country to country and rely on the central postal services in the recipient country. Please note that unforeseen events such as natural disasters can impact delivery times. Check our website for the most up to date information.
Import duties: Orders placed outside of Australia will be classed as an import in the recipient country. As such, you will need to pay the associated import duties and taxes required to clear customs in your country. The shipping carrier assigned to your shipment will contact you using the details on your order when placed. If import duties are not paid by the recipient as required, the shipment will be diverted to commercial composting facilities for disposal and cannot be returned. No refunds will apply in these cases either.
Returns:
Change of mind: If you have purchased the wrong size, or no longer need your mailers, you may be able to return them for a store credit within 14 days of purchase. Due to the renewable ingredients used and shelf life of our mailers, no change-of-mind returns can be accepted under any circumstances after this period. We have a strict returns process to ensure all returns are received correctly and can be re-sold to other customers. Change of mind returns are also subject to handling and restocking fees and the original shipping cost being deducted from any store credit. If you need to return your mailers, please contact us for further instructions.
Pre-Order Information:
Occasionally, our mailers could be out of stock and move to a pre-order listing. This will be noted when purchasing the mailers and will also be noted in your order confirmation alongside any pre-order items.
No Split Shipments: Please note that if pre-order items are purchased together with regular items which are in stock, the entire order will be on hold until the pre-order stock is available for shipping (we cannot partially ship orders). If you wish to place a pre-order as well as purchase available items, it's best to purchase separately to avoid delays in shipping your order.
You will receive a shipping tracking notification as soon as your order has been dispatched. If you have any questions, please message us for assistance.
FAQs
What exactly are they made from?
HEROPACKS are made from home-compostable materials, mainly corn starch and PBAT (a compostable ingredient which bonds the renewable ingredients together).
How do we compost them?
To compost them at home, it’s best to remove any labels, cut them up and place in your compost bin as “brown” materials. These will completely break down within 90-120 days in a home-compostable environment - sometimes even sooner!
These can also be sent to composting facilities to be properly broken down and composted. If you are in Australia, please CLICK HERE to find a composter near you. You can also ask your local council if they can provide a composting green bin for you. Another great option is to visit www.sharewaste.com to find a local home-composting enthusiast near you!
What happens if they end up in landfill?
The best part is that they still break down in landfill. Unfortunately, due to the nature of the landfill process, this will still add to methane production. That's why it's important to help your customers compost our products to take full advantage of the environmental benefits. Our products take about 2 years rather than 90 days to break down in landfill. In contrast, traditional plastic shipping mailers take 400 years or more to break down, and still release deadly methane gas into the atmosphere.
How do your mailers compare to Australia Post (Auspost) mailer sizes?
Australia Post has the following sized mailers:
500g - 220x355mm
1kg - 265x385mm
3kg - 310x405mm
5kg - 435x510mm
The closest mailers we have are as follows:
500g - Use our Small-Medium mailer (220x340mm)
1kg - Use our Medium mailer (265x380mm)
3kg - Use our Medium (265x380mm) or Large (360x480mm)
5kg - Use our X Large (550x550mm)
When you purchase HEROPACKs, you are purchasing the mailers only (not the shipping). To pay for shipping, you will need to go to an Australia Post shop and get labels printed or if you use e-Parcel or Sendle, you can print and pay for labels at home. If you need any more information, head to our blog post - Check it out here!
What happens in water?
They are water resistant but if they are placed in water for a long time, they will break down there too. It takes much longer to break down in water because of the cooler temperatures.
How can I tell my customers about the compostable packaging?
If you place an order with us, you will receive a link to our Retailer Media Pack, including images and information sheets to send to your customers and/or display on your website.
Are the white strips covering the adhesive also compostable?
The white strips are not currently compostable so should be commercially recycled. However, once your customers receive the mailers, the white strips covering the adhesive have already been removed, leaving the compostable mailer for your customers to home or commercially compost. In order to recycle, find a commercial recycling provider near you.
What's the difference between compostable and biodegradable?
In short, a biodegradable product simply breaks down into smaller micro-plastics which still contaminate the environment. Certified home-compostable products break down as if they were never there, and can also be safely eaten by worms. Therefore, a compostable product is always more preferable over a biodegradable product.
