Card mailing guide
1. Identify your order
Print out the order summary or simply write down your 5-digit order number on plain paper. You’ll need to include this with your cards, so that we can easily identify your order.
2. Protect your cards
Protect your cards ideally in a sleeve and toploader (adding a little “post it tab” is also always appreciated!)
Put only one card per sleeve / top loader.
Avoid heavy Ultimate Guard-type slabs, heavy packaging (tin box, metal box, etc.) which weigh down the parcel, take up volume and can lead to extra postage costs.
3. Pack your cards
Don’t use sticking tape, especially on the top loaders or in the immediate vicinity of the cards to group them, as the glue left behind could damage them .If you insist on taping your top loaders, use masking tape, which will leave less residue and be easier to remove. Use bubble wrap to enclose your cards and secure the inside of the parcel. Use layers of cardboard for enveloped orders to stiffen them, but avoid over-wrapping. Insert the order summary sheet or your order number on plain paper.
4. Use a suitable container
You can use an envelope (preferably bubble wrap) for small orders of less than 20 cards, but use a cardboard box for larger orders. If you don’t have a cardboard box, use a thick shoe-box type container. Avoid large cartons or shoeboxes for orders of just a few cards, as the cards can get carried around, generating over-packaging. Seal the envelope or parcel tightly with heavy-duty tape, avoiding the need to open it with a box cutter.
