    Are these bubble mailers too big?

    So I have a whole bunch of 6in x 9in bubble mailers and I was wondering would it be a bad idea to ship cards in these? They're a bit large so do you think I'll have to worry about cards being bent and such, I just want to make sure my cards are getting to the other end safe.

    I placed cardboard to fill up the envelope and to pretect the toploader and hopefully to prevent it from moving too much in the envelope as well.

    Obviously I'm knew to this, what do you guys think?

    for small trades (1-4 cards) they can be a bit big and allow for movement. If you have used mailers, or bubble wrap is use that to pack it.

    It will make the package a bit bulkyier so the contents have less of chance to shift. Also, it can save you some postage. Cardboard can add an ounce to the package, which can increase your shipping costs

    I have those same ones, i cut them in half, but tape down the open end with some packaging tape, so i actually save some money on the toploaders, as well as around 50-60 cents on shipping per envelope. You just need to make sure the part that has been taped doesnt have any holes or gaps where it doesnt seal.

    This is what I did with huge bubbles too

    I use the same ones and have never had a problem with cards being damaged or anything.
