Not sure how many stamps id need to use for these as I bought a few that would hold postcard size photo the Padded bags id be using would be 205mm x 245mm.
If anyone could give me some advise that would be fantastic.
If you think about it, you can bend a bubble envelope very easily and it will very likely happen through all the hands its likely to pass through.
You would be better off with a boarded envelope at least, and you can reinforce those if need be, depending on your own preference.
When I send something its always reinforced with a hard plastic sheet or extra board to strengthen the envelope to avoid any possibility of damage to the item.
So far as stamps are concerned, you can read the royal mail website for prices, and USPS for return stamps.
