Sending out 8x10's help

[smejus57]

What's the best way to send out 8x10s? What type of envelopes do you use? Do you put any protective items in the envelopes? Any help is appreciated.

I use 9x12 clasped envelopes. I add some cardboard with the 8x10 so it won't bend that easy.

If you are not in a hurry, shop.usps.com has envelopoes made for photos so they dont bend for free. Hope that helps a little. Takes about a week or two to get to your house.

oxxon, do you include a note in your letter for the athlete to use the cardboard on the way back too?

I have never included the extra cardboard. I usually send my request letter andtwo photos in the white envelopes 9x12 that you can buy real cheap at WalMart in like a pack of 25. The shipping my way is one regular and one postcard samp each way. I hve onle had one photo come back creased.

No, I never included a note for them to use the cardboard when they send the 8x10 back.

Really??? I have been getting parcel postage every time I send a photo. I include a piece of cardboard (usually the soda case from walmart since they still use the old style non fridge containers) and have had some success. I may try to send like you indy, white envelope no cardboard. Are you sure its only a postcard and reg. stamp each way???
