thats cute Sue - 3 pieces.... I use 4... hahah !!! :) . and in
special cases i use 1/8 inch masonite board as its very strong. ,, I
sandwich it then shrinkwrap it and wrap in Kraft paper like old school
art gallerys did and use masking tape as it comes off. in case they open
and stary tape hits the art..
Then remember if you use PRIORITY mail and confirmation and insure... It
will ship for a flat fee no matter the weight, so the weight is not a
issue!! oterewise I use fedex Ground
this is good for anything like flat one sheet, or magazine book, or
lobbie cards.
on Inserts and rolled 1sheets I uses Yazoo Tubes. and foam wrap and
bubble wrap on
others and plenty of crushed news paper - RECYCLE anything you can
Sue live dangerous.. Use Four next time and think of me...:)

Hi Rick,
When I was shipping lobby cards and smaller items, I would sandwich
them between three pieces of cardboard and then put that in a manilla
envelope. I never had anything bent. I used 200 lb test cardbaord as I
do now for my frame's shipping boxes. Two pieces of
cardboard, however, is not adequate for shipping and that third or
even fourth piece gives it the extra rigidity it needs. So, that's the
scoop.....ps. for all collectors out there.........don't store your
items in cardboard packaging or tubes for any length of time.
Cardboard is loaded with acid and that is what causes brittlization
and yellowing over time.

Subject: [MOPO] OT: Cardboard advice from the pros here....
To: [email protected]
This inquiry goes out to any of the pros here who ship flat items such
as stills or lobby cards. I am wanting to keep the package light but
strong (and I should mention... as inexpensive as possible). What
strength cardboard are you using? I see sheets of 200 pound strength
cardboard available but is it strong enough. The sheets I always see
are corrugated but are sheets of solid (similar to postal boxes)
available and if so, do you know where? Any advice posted publically
or privately is greatly appreciated.
