Hey guys... I recently acquired a bunch of vintage posters. They are all 20x30. Half are older Hatch Show Prints and half are old cardstock Circus posters.

I'm going to be selling these and am wondering what you all would advise in terms of how to ship them. They appear to be too thick to roll without damage. I was thinking of shipping them flat, maybe between poster board -- but even 2-3 poster boards I am not sure would make the journey unscathed.

Advice on shipping thick cardstock posters, please?

Flat, if they're the Hatch card-stock variety. Some of the newer Hatch prints are on thinner paper and easier to roll.

Any advice on how to ship a 20x30 1980s era Hatch Show Print flat? I was thinking get 4 pieces of poster board (found some for $1/sheet at Dollar Store), but even four of those I am not sure it will not bend or take a hit in center because of the size. Advice for shipping flat appreciated.
