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.

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
