Book Mailer Recommendation | CBCS Comics

Gemini Mailers are great.... But...
I have bought mailers from another source (Matt’s Baseball, and there’s a difference
Comparing the two.
They look the same
The cost is about the same but Matt’s has a minimum
But structurally Matt’s is thicker, the corrugation is a little thicker thus a smidge stronger

.
Not that it matters all that much (they both do the job)
But I tend to always look for what I think is the best bang (quality) for the buck..
By the way I am not affiliated nor do I have a ax to grind.
Just my opinion
Here’s a link to Matt’s

By the way,,, if your mailing a “RAW” book under $50 please use one of these mailers
We all have horror stories.. I personally painter tape a bagged and boarded book to another piece of corrugated cardboard for extra strength. You can either cut up old box's (what I do) or buy a stiffener from Matt’s.
Enjoy.

You can put two mailers taped together in a USPS Medium flat rate box. Over that, I reuse Amazon and even CBCS boxes (which can easily be cut down in height) to hold three or more mailers. I believe the more layers of cardboard, the better. And it is important that the books do not shift around during shipping. . Yep I give people a choice on the higher priced (over 25) to ship in a double boxed way. With either styrofoam pellets or bubble wrapped mailer. I’ll use FedEx or priority mail. Depending. But on all I use the extra board. A little over pac doesn’t hurt. But alas no matter how good we pack it doesn’t save us from driving over it Stomping it into a mail box Throwing it out the truck window as they pass by Rain and of course hitting the dog with it and pissing it off. Lol ....🛸🛸

	I also use products from Matt's Baseball. The prices are really good. For my new pull list books and cheaper books I order bags and boards along with dividers from him too. Pretty quick shipping as well. I have also ordered the CSP mailers too. I have those on standby until I run out of Gemini holders.
