This may sound odd but why don't you try a couple of methods and send them to yourself, and then you can guage what condition the arrive in.

Depending on how many you will be selling /sending i'd do it this way. Piece of bubble wrap on top of the card to protect any embellishments. Sandwich both these between corrugated card then put into a brown envelope - fold and tape the edges to give a tight fit and prevent it sliding around. I usually fold parcel tape around the edges to prevent any rips or tears. Cheap too!

Hi you fello crafters,

I've just sold a few cards on an auction site and was putting down 60p for postage, then I thought I ought to actually weigh my card/cardboard/jiffy and found that it'll actually come under the 'packet' description as it was over the 25mm the post office allow for large letter.

So I had to up my postage costs to a £1 which bothers me because I want my cards to be as cheap as possible.

But now I've read your suggestions ie putting bubble wrap (which I may have some left after popping!) with the cardboard in a larger envelope. I shall try that tomorrow and if it works well will leave out the jiffy bag totally!

Can I suggest to you card makers that an 'enveloper pro' I bought is fab for making large envelopes and if you can get hold of cheap scrapbook papers they only need cutting down slightly for the correct size.

Thanks again!

Lisa
