Recently when ordering grey sacks through Royal Mail's online "shop" I have been receiving a lot of other colours, especially red, but today I got red, green, yellow and blue. My sack deliveries come tracked, and the tracking starts at Royal Mail, Yorkshire Distribution Centre.
I can use the blue sacks as I send M Bags. Can anyone point me to an official list of what the other colours are for? I know that one of the post offices at which I sometimes drop my mail like to have red sacks, I think for Special Delivery items.
Regards
Peter

Re: Purpose of red green and yellow sacks
Does it matter what colour bag you use as often I might get a few batches in a row of blue bags also are they ever sorted before they are bundled and sent as sometimes it seems I over half of the bundle is not useable due to holes
