bruce and mopo-
packing 1sheets folded

I use a l-bar sealer 22 x17 shrink wrap the films is a film called 
Clysar by i think Dupont, it can be shrunk after its sealed.. record 
albums where done this way inthe 50 60 70s



I put 2 sheets of corrogated boardd on the poster and sandwich it.theni 
place inthe shrink wrap machine itseals 2 sides andwelds theplastic so 
its impervious to water ifthe box get wet or damp.. theni takea heat gun 
and shrink it tight... I also use 1/16 inch  etha foam to wrap the 
posterand place in a priority mail box. i stuff foam around the inside 
unit to give protectionagaints puncture


a lbar sealer new is like 2000.00
I have 2 units as i used in my productionof Clocks and clappers,,, 
theroll of  film are like 3500 center fold film so2 sides are already 
seled andthe machine welds and cuts the other 2
 almost all package is dont withshrink wrap..i also had tunnels thatwere 
220 toconveyor shrink for volume\


I sold them

if you are on a budget you gat get a single straightarm on ebay from 
china for like 100.00  to do small items itwil work on Mylaror PE. or 
most films..ithas a hot wire that cuts it..I bought one just to have 
forsmall projects...


they also  make ready bags in mylar on ebay in like 25 count to do small 
stuff
otherwise for retail i use Poly bogs from Bagas unlimited and get 
corrogated sheets to back one sheets for retail display i give the 
boards withthepostersale
when i get the boards best price is like 1000-2000 b-dflute  vertical 
flutes and they caot like 80 -100 each

I try to get white claycoat oneor both sides

It sells a posterat shows or retail shopand peopple can flip through 
thetitles


it takes a talent to inset theposter without ripping however overtime 
you learn the art ofinserting


Ive used the same for inserts as well..i but theboards from Bags 
unlimited.



where i am at i get free shipping but tyheone sheets boards can take 
lots of warehouse space as they can fill [allets like 2 8 foot high


so 2 one sheets can cost you like 3 k to put on boards yet if the 
posters retail for 20-30 each you havea decent Gross potential


if you have 50-100 do the math  if a few 200-400 you can have lots of 
fun///


I generally had 2-3000 poster on display in my shop ..rolled i would 
putin rolled sleevessandfdisplayon wings andpeople could choose and find 
the labeled poster in a rack for my smaller or commercial titles

[MOPO] Aw: Re: [MOPO] Some basic items that EVERY movie memorabilia collector should consider owning!

[Helmut Hamm]

Simple PE foil does not stick to anything. It comes in stretched an unstretched. I currently use stretched. It is less expensive, but you need more of it, and I have to wrap it around three  or four times so that it properly sticks to itself. It also adds to the stability of the package.

 

@Alan: Run a search for PE Plastic Packaging Film or Plastic Wrap and you will find countless options and suppliers. Main differences are the thickness (for posters, a rather thin wrap will do) and, as stated above, stretched or unstretched. My 20" rolls hold 600 meters, app. 650 yards.

 

I also wrote up a blog article that shows some images of how we pack:

 

https://www.filmposter.net/blog/how-to-ship-vintage-movie-posters-securely/

 

Re. Tape on Posters: Not too long ago, I bought a VERY expensive folded poster on ebay. It was loosely sandwiched between cardboard and taped. The poster was not exactly folded square, and when it arrived, the overstanding (black!) border had stuck to the tape, taking 0.25" x 2" paper and color from the poster. To make things worse, the poster was in Near Mint condition when shipped. Needless to say, that was extremely annoying.

If that is something that won't stick to the posters, that sounds like a great idea Helmut.

Just seems that masking tape is at the very bottom of the list of things you should use around posters.

I'm not using any tape at all when packing posters. Instead, everything I send out is wrapped in thin plastic foil that I buy on 600 meter rolls. It perfectly secures the poster inside the cardboard backing and makes the package waterproof as well.

Great list Bruce, though I will add that I consider a small portable black light at least as important as a really strong regular light when attempting to detect restoration. Especially when you are looking at pieces backed on heavy board (and as you mentioned a bright light alone usually doesn't cut it there).

 

Seeing your mention of bestine to "save the day" though does make me remember one question I am always meaning to ask you: Why exactly does Emovieposter use paper-damaging masking tape when packing up parcels for customers, instead of the far more paper friendly "blue" tape that most other major auction houses/dealers use? Surely using blue tape will result in a lot less situations where bestine is needed to save the day. I also find the blue tape a lot more friendly on the polybags/packing supplies in allowing them to be reused and helping keep everything a little bit greener.

 

Best,

 

Sean

Did you know that there are some basic items that EVERY movie memorabilia collector should consider owning?

We are often contacted by collectors with various concerns or requests that pertain to collecting movie paper such as "how can I protect the tear in my poster without restoration", "how can I safely remove this piece of tape", "how can I more easily open packages", etc.

So we thought it would be helpful to make a list of some of the items we think ALL movie paper collectors should strongly consider owning:

*Lineco Document Repair Tape and Lineco Transparent Mending Tissue - This is tape that is safe for use on movie paper. You can use it on the back of items to secure tears.

*Bestine (or "Un-du") - This is a solvent that can dissolve the sticky part of tape making the tape easily removed without damage to movie paper and is therefore super useful in removing tape from older posters, and also can "save the day" if you accidentally get tape stuck to a poster when removing it from a package.

NOTE: This is a highly flammable and dangerous substance and should only be used in a well ventilated area, and ONLY if you are at least somewhat "handy" and will be EXTREMELY careful using it. Be sure to read ALL of the manufacture's warnings before use.

*A utility knife, Xacto knife, or similar - This is wonderful for opening well packed packages (such as those eMoviePoster.com uses). NOTE: You should always cut with care as these knives are extremely sharp and WILL cut through several pieces of cardboard with ease, and can also cut into YOU with even greater ease. You definitely do NOT want to accidentally cut your movie paper (or yourself)!

*A REALLY strong light (like 400 watts or stronger) - This is wonderful if you own or are considering buying restored items. When you
