I send a 9 x 12 envelope pre stamped with my address hand written on it, a LOR, and a photo in a clear sleeve with some 80lb. card stock to prevent bending....and all this goes inside a 10 x 13 envelope. Write "Do Not Bend" on each envelope and this has worked very well for me, and is a lot less expensive then two bubble pack envelopes. If you are really concerned about the condition of the item being returned to you you can replace the 9 x 12 envelope with a Scotch brand photo/document mailer in the same size because it is made from heavier cardboard it will hold up better in the mail. They also make a smaller one for cd sized stuff that will fit in a 6 x 9 envelope.
