rmsexauer Valued Member United States 234 Posts	Posted 05/28/2017 7:57 pm Hello Everyone, I am looking for suggestions/ideas on what is the best way to package straps of notes in order to ship them safely. I have seen that there are solid plastic cases for sale on ebay for $20 that will encase an entire strap but I am looking for something a little more cost friendly. Currently my thoughts are to put a layer of tissue paper around the strap and then cut out 2 rectangles of cardboard to sandwich the strap. I am looking to prevent any ink smudges and of course any type of bent corners/edges. If anyone has any experience with shipping these or has any other ideas, they would be greatly appreciated. Thank you. Robert Report this Post to the Staff

rmsexauer Valued Member United States 234 Posts	Posted 05/28/2017 10:04 pm Do you think it would be safe to put this package arrangement in a padded envelope for shipping or should I stick to putting them in a small box? I don't put it past the USPS to fold padded envelopes in order to cram them into a mail box. I know it has happened at my house.. padded envelopes folded and crammed in the mail box.. boxes crammed in and left hanging half way out of the box. Report this Post to the Staff

The cardboard box also offers a bit more protection as well. Report this Post to the Staff

CelticKnot Bedrock of the Community United States 12819 Posts	Posted 05/28/2017 10:18 pm Flat fee shipping from USPS (small box) seems like it would be the best bet for this.... along with your packing ideas. Report this Post to the Staff
Crazyb0 Rest in Peace 10197 Posts	Posted 05/28/2017 11:46 pm Use the cardboard from USPS envelope mailers...thin enough but enough stiffness. I use these inside small bubble wrap mailers to give added protection Work great for odd size foreign bills as well. Besides, it's free... Report this Post to the Staff
