    As the item is under 100g it goes in the lowest weight band and as 2.5 g is actually less weight than a sheet of A4 sized paper there is every chance this can go as a standard letter which would be 39p 1st class assuming it will fit the required dimensions.

    It has to be very small though to go as a standard sized letter. A CD in a slimline case in an A5 sized envelope (not jiffy) is the biggest you can go. A 30cm by 30cm piece of bubble wrap would be too big for even a large letter even though it would have a very low weight.

    I kind of have an idea what it is in my head and have several here on my desk and they weigh between 2 -3 g . One of these could go (just) as a letter with a single piece of card backing. Obviously I might be wrong, but the category and weight fitted.
