Question

How should I package printed materials to prevent damage during shipping?

Answer

Good packaging keeps flat and folded pieces crease-free in transit. Match the mailer to the product and never let stacks bend.

  • Use rigid mailers or stay-flat envelopes for postcards and business cards.
  • Slip brochures and flyers into poly bags inside padded envelopes.
  • Avoid bending or rubber-banding stacks. Bands leave permanent creases.
  • Add a stiff chipboard backer behind photos and heavy-stock cards.
  • In wet weather, a poly sleeve protects printed pieces from moisture.
