Hey guys,
If I sell some of Mike Mitchell's Fat Birds and/or Portraits obviously i should ship them flat. Where can i get the flat mailers that work for this type of shipping? Is there a specific name for the materials I should use so i know what to look for?
Materials for shipping flat
I'm a fan of papermart as well. You're going to want some cardboard flats, variable depth mailers, and poly bags.

I guess I'm more thinking of the materials that Mike uses when he ships these types of prints. Putting this between two pieces of flat cardboard and putting it into a bubble mailer thing doesn't exactly seem safe/sturdy.
What does Mike use to package them? Almost everything I receive flat is sandwiched in cardboard in some kind of mailer...usually made of cardboard.
When I'm done ranting about elite power that rules the planet under a totalitarian government that uses the media to keep people stupid, my throat gets parched. That's why I drink Orange Drink. - BH
I didn’t say bubble mailer. I said variable depth mailer. Guess I should have been more clear and said variable depth box. #facepalm

The words he used to describe the supplies indicate they are not the same supplies you describe. He literally described Mike's package
Well tell Papermart that, pal. When you type in "variable depth mailer" on the site you get lots of bubblewrap/padded envelopes and nothing that looks like what you're describing that Mike uses.

I'm gonna level with ya and admit I put about as much effort into my answers as yer putting into dis.
For the record, I actually bought corrugated sheets from papermart, which ya will want/need for shipping flat. For example:
https://www.papermart.com/p/brown-corru ... -pads/4652
The Easy Fold Mailers AKA Multi Depth Mailers AKA Easy Fold Vari-Depth Mailing Boxes were actually purchased a couple years ago from Staples when they were way cheaper (half the price):

Here is virtually the same product on papermart in various different sizes:

And now, I'm spent.
