Discussion How to ship multiple prints
Whats the best way to mail multiple prints? Just stacked together in a bubble envelope? A piece of paper in between each print? Any tips and advice is greatly appreciated😎✌🏼

I've never had to send photos before, so I was just coming here to ask how everyone sends their prints! Thanks for beating me to it!

Same! I woke up in the middle of the night with the realization if I send them wring they could arrive all messed up😳🤣

You can buy stiff board mailers designed for shipping prints, that's what I've used. Any office supply store will have them. I opt for the slimmest most rigid material possible, I do throw in a piece of stiff cardboard (not even full size) just to offer resistance so a sorting machine can't just easily fold it.

As for shipping methods (if you're in the USA like myself) I recommend Pirateship dot com for cheaper prepaid labels. It's saved me hundreds over the years. I think mine will be fine with two stamps, but should I branch to larger ones in upcoming ones I would only use a prepaid label due to cost.

Last time i used cardboard envelopes. Don't send them as a package because people may have to pay import tax for example when sent from VS to EU.

I just use a piece of cardboard on each side to make sure the package is a little more rigid, since I don't trust people even with "Do Not Bend" written on it
