# Packaging Builder

> Work out which mailers, protection and labels you need each month, and what they cost, for the number of orders you ship.

## Baby and kids

- Fold the clothes flat and seal them in a clear bag.
- Slide the bag into a poly mailer, or box toys and gear with void fill.
- Weigh it and buy the Ground Advantage label for that weight.

Avoid: Shipping bulky strollers and cribs in a mailer. Box them, or offer local pickup.

- **[Gray poly mailers, 10 × 13 in, 100 pack](https://sellersetups.com/us/product/grey-mailing-bags)** ($8 to $15): A light poly mailer at about 8 to 15 cents each, for folded clothing. (1 per order)
- **[Zip-top bags, 4 × 6 in, 100 pack](https://sellersetups.com/us/product/resealable-cable-bags)** ($5 to $10): Small clear bags that keep cables and parts with their item. (1 per order, optional)
- **[Double-wall boxes, 18 × 12 × 8 in, 15 pack](https://sellersetups.com/us/product/double-wall-boxes)** ($45 to $70): Fits a boxed pair of sneakers with room for padding. (1 per order, optional)
- **[Honeycomb paper wrap roll](https://sellersetups.com/us/product/paper-void-fill)** ($20 to $35): A plastic-free wrap that cushions as well as light bubble wrap. (1 per order, optional)

## Beauty

- Wrap each item in bubble wrap and tape it closed.
- Use a padded mailer for compacts and lipsticks, a small box for glass or sets.
- Fill any gap so nothing moves when you shake the box.

Avoid: Glass bottles in padded mailers. One drop on a sorting belt can break them.

- **[Kraft bubble mailers, #0, 100 pack](https://sellersetups.com/us/product/padded-envelopes)** ($16 to $28): Bubble-lined envelopes for small, light items. (0.6 per order)

## Books, games and vinyl

- Wrap books and games in a layer of bubble wrap to protect the corners.
- Use a padded mailer for single items, a small box for bundles and box sets.
- Weigh it to the ounce, and try a Medium Flat Rate Box for heavy stacks.

Avoid: Thin envelopes for hardcovers. The corners push through and arrive dented.

- **[Kraft bubble mailers, #0, 100 pack](https://sellersetups.com/us/product/padded-envelopes)** ($16 to $28): Bubble-lined envelopes for small, light items. (0.6 per order)

## Coins and currency

- Put the coin in a capsule and tape the capsule to a small card, so it can’t slide around.
- Slide the card into a padded mailer, or a small box for sets.
- Ship anything you would hate to lose with tracking, and add insurance above the included cover.

Avoid: Loose coins in envelopes. They work their way out through the corners.

## Comics and manga

- Bag and board the issue, then add a second board behind it.
- Slide it into a rigid mailer, or a small box for runs and graphic novels.
- Weigh it and buy the Ground Advantage label for that weight.

## Crystals and minerals

- Wrap each piece in tissue, then bubble wrap.
- Put small tumbled stones in a padded mailer and clusters in a box.
- Shake the box before you seal it, and add fill if anything moves.

Avoid: Several pieces wrapped together. They knock against each other and chip.

## Electronics and gadgets

- Bag cables and accessories separately, so loose plugs don’t scratch the screen.
- Wrap the device in bubble wrap and box it with padding on all six sides, so it can’t shift when the box is dropped.
- Tape every seam, and add insurance for anything over $100.

Avoid: Mailers for anything with a screen: other packages pile on top in the truck and can crack it.

- Fold costumes into a clear bag, then a poly mailer.

- Wrap the piece in tissue and close it with a sticker.

- Box figures in a single-wall box, and ship single cards in a rigid card mailer.

## Estate cleanouts and storage units

- Wrap each piece in bubble wrap, with extra around handles and rims.
- Pack it in a double-wall box and fill every gap with paper.
- Shake the box. If anything moves, add more fill.

Avoid: Thin boxes for china and glass. Heavier packages stacked on top crush them.

## Toys and collectibles

- Bag loose small parts so nothing goes missing.
- Wrap boxed items and put them in an outer box with padding on every side.

Avoid: Reused grocery boxes for boxed collectibles. The weak board lets the corners crush.

- **[Kraft bubble mailers, #0, 100 pack](https://sellersetups.com/us/product/padded-envelopes)** ($16 to $28): Bubble-lined envelopes for small, light items. (0.5 per order)

## Trading cards

- Sleeve the card, slide it into a toploader and seal it in a team bag.
- Put it in a rigid mailer with a strip of tape over the toploader’s open end.
- Weigh it on the pocket scale: eBay Standard Envelope for cards under $20, Ground Advantage with tracking above that.

## Sneakers

- Wrap the original shoe box in bubble wrap.
