Hi brkcustoms!

You could use either a 9X12 or a 10X13 envelope depending on the size of the magazine. If it's smaller (the size of a Readers Digest, for exampe,) you could try a 6X9 envelope.

You just need an envelope the same size / a little bit bigger than the magazine you are sending.
I would get a 'Do Not Bend' envelope with the cardboard in the back because magazines get bent very easily.
Good luck :mrgreen:

I agree with the two comments above.
Magazines do get bent very easily,
So make sure to include that on your envelope!

And put a stiff peice of cardboard in the envelope. The thicker the better. {thumb2}

I have sent magazines and What I did was to get a magazine bag from my local comic shop. They are just like comic mylar bags and keep the magazine in good condition. I add a backing board to both sides of the magazine.

I am gonna do the same when I send my PlayBoy to Christy Hemme soon.

Maybe it's just me, but magazines don't seem very bendable, given the flexibility of it.

Either way, you can send it via Media Mail and save a few pennies.

Actually, nevermind about the Media Mail, I didn't realize it started at 1 pound.. I don't think a magazine would weight that much.
