Does anyone here ship coins using self-stick corrugated wrap? It's a thin type of cardboard that folds and sticks to itself, protecting the coin. If you know of a good source, let me know--thanks!   Edited by DVCollector 01/22/2012 1:52 pm

I purchased some Corrugated Safety Mailers from Wizard Coin Supply, but these were sized for a couple of coins, not box size as your picture.

Thanks for the link; I'm looking for coin-sized dimensions too. Amazon has a 2.5' x 50' roll that translates to $0.16 per #10 mailer. The best deal I've seen is a 6' x 250' roll that translates to $0.02 per #10 mailer. I guess I answered my own question--I'll just cut down my own.  If anyone wants to know the cheapest source I've found, I'm me.

Bobby, that looks pretty convenient--and a lower price than I've seen online. I may just buy the bulk roll, and resell the extra to collectors here.

Thanks for the link. I'm going to split a bulk purchase with Nohope. That way, the #10 mailers would be less than a nickel each. I should have extra, in case anyone here wants some.

I have been using cohesive corrugated wrap for some time now. I buy a roll of it from Uline (I have no affiliation with them and just found them to be the cheapest price in my case). It is 12" x 250' for I think $50 plus ship. I cut the roll in half to make it 6" and cut it 7" long at a time and it fits in 000 mailers perfectly. It does take some time to cut, but I still have a roll after a year and if I need different sizes I just cut accordingly. I have had many positive feedback on ebay from sellers saying that their items arrived well packaged or professionally packaged. Always good to here that the coin did not fall out the bottom

Mmorgan,  This material is well-suited to coins; it both protects and keeps them from breaking out of an envelope.

Glad I found this topic because I was wondering if those old corrugated sticky sheets Teletrade used to send my small shipments in were still acceptable. Seemed like a very efficient way to package one to four slabs.
