What do you use to ship out your INK Jet prints in?

I know the Post office has some stiff card board mailers for maybe up to 11x14 but those can get bent too.

Since I can print up to 13x19 how do you protect that size in shipping? Tube?

What if you matte it and even frame it? Where do you go for shipping materials?

With really small ones, the US postal service ones are better. For larger ones, but less than 24 x 36 inches, I use stay flats from Uline; with the larger of these I use corrugated plastic as a stiffener. Foamcore, matt board, and corrugated cardboard will all snap if bent far enough. With all of the flats, the image is inside an archival sleeve.

For 24 x 36 inches or larger I use Uline tubes, with an archival tissue interleave and acid free kraft paper wrap.

Packaging nearly always exceeds my printing costs. For local pickup, I will refund packaging returned in a reasonable condition.

Thanks for the info.

When I received prints from WHCC I just reused their shipping package, plus if I got a decent size order I would get their premium boxes which was a nice touch for about $8 more.

I am getting ready to pull the trigger on some RR Ultra Satin papers so I can write it off for this year.

What are your thoughts on that paper?
