Re: [MOPO] BEST WAY TO SHIP WINDOW CARDS

[Susan Heim]

I see Phil and I are on the same page, instruction wise. I was automatically thinking of a thicker card stock or restored window card that had to maintain flatness, but of course if the window is thin, it can be rolled and as JR said, a sturdy tube.   Sue ----- Original Message ----- From: Phil Edwards Cinema Arts To: MoPo-L@LISTSERV.AMERICAN.EDU Sent: Thursday, May 25, 2006 3:09 PM Subject: Re: [MOPO] BEST WAY TO SHIP WINDOW CARDS Depends on cardstock thickness. If they are thing enough then can be CAREFULLY rolled in a large diameter tube (extra tough carboard or PVC, none of those post office triangulat boxes). Of course roll, it, bag it and make sure there is soft padding inside tube to stop it moving backwards and forwards and causing edge dammage. But it's going to have to be a pretty thin cardstock and/or a WIDE diameter tube. Or other otherwise use two pieces of composite board as a sandwich. If you use thick cardboard instead of composite board make sure that corrugations in board are crossed. To dissuade PO employees from bending, then I'd be making the board sandwich at least 3/4" thick and stamping PLEASE DO NOT BEND all over it. They are indeed a derriere aching shipping experience.
