How do I send out an 8X10 photo?

[TexAggie_2014]

Howdy Ya'll,

Quick question, ive been sending out TTMs for a while now, but with only cards. I want to send out an 8x10 photo out but i dont know what to ship it in (bubble mailer?)

And what do I need to send out as far as returning it?
Just put it in a bigger envelope?


If anyone has any information that would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks & Gig 'Em

I usually use a manilla envelope with a document mailer inside as my SASE. At my LCS you can buy 8x10 top loader for the pic. They may not put it back in the top loader and send in the document mailer so get a sturdy document mailer. Runs me $2.50ish for the retun shipping

I personally like to send 4x6 photos. They're like baseball cards when it comes to shipping them, so it's still very cheap. They look very nice in a regular photo album. I still have 8x10s, but save them for IPs.

Get on eBay buy 9x12 photo mailers you can get 100 for about $25 shipped or go to any store and pay $2 a pop for them. Throw that in any dpcument paper envelope bigger than 9x12 obviously. Throw three stamps on each envelope it's a done deal. If you print via Costco you're looking at about $4.75 total money in for photo, envelop, postage. That's a huge savings compared to when I was buying photofile photos and my envelops at the stores. That was costing me about $12 total.
