SASE size confusion

[BossC]

I don't use photo mailers because they get expensive and it costs extra to send them. I use 9X12s and I fold them and put them in a 6X9 (folding in half, then in half again). The post does bend my mail quite regularly (expecially if it is not labled) but I haven't gotten anything that is totally ruined.

I prefer using the 9X12s because they only cost 0.88 instead of the 1.22 a photo mailer would be. If I provide the 8X10 photo to sign, I often include cardboard so the post office won't bend it. With cardboard, the mail can't bend it.

Would it work if you put a 9x12 inside a 9x12 but just fold the edges slightly so that it fits? And also put in a piece of card slightly smaller than the 9x12? Has anyone tried this?

The smart move would be to put the cardboard inside the SASE so that the celebrity doesn't have to think about it. So I don't think putting a 9x12 inside a 9x12 would be a good idea. For that matter, a 10x13 is only slightly larger and the additional postage cost would be minimal.

Well the idea was to have a 9x12 with a piece of cardboard inside and fold the edges of the envelope so it would fit into another 9x12. It's kinda like a custom 9x12 envelope I suppose!
