Rigid photo mailers

[steviey2493]

I need some rigid photo mailers(9.5 by 11) and was wondering how you guys do it. They aren't suppose to be bendy so how do u put it in the envelope you are mailing out? Do you use a rigid for both the sending envelope AND the SASE?Help please, I have a big batch of pictures and letters ready to go and I am deciding on using the brown ones or the rigids.

I use 10x13 manila envelopes to send my photo mailers.

So should I use a 10 by 13 manilla to send it with the 9.5 by 11 rigid mailer with a letter and pic?Also, what amount of stamps do you use on each?Thank you!

I also use the photo mailers. I simply fold the flap of the photo mailer down, and then put it in a 10x13 inch envelope. The photo mailer will prevent the whole package from being bent. I also have a "Do Not Bend" stamp that I use on the outer envelope (before putting anything in it, of course, until the stamp dries) and the back of the photo mailer.

Okay thank you everyone!How many stamps should the 10 by 13 have and then the rigid mailer?

3 for which, the rigid mailer?i was thinkin 4 on the 10 by 13 manilla clasp then 3 on the rigid...does that sound right?

[bellicosejason]

I'd put 3 on each but when I think more about it 4 would probably be better for the photo mailer. Sorry I was vague in my last response. I had to log out quickly as I'm at work

totally fine i understand(your lucky you have free time at work lol)...i called my post office and they said 4 would do it for the whole thing, and 3 for just the photo mailer, because when i only had 3 on the whole thing it was like 9 cents short, so 4 and 3 stamps
