What is your SASE method? (Envelopes of choice)

Unread post by Eriu »

Hi all, I'm thinking about collecting again and one of my biggest worries is will my letter and photos arrive in one piece. Especially when sending stuff over seas. I work with a lot of foreign bands at my job and their promos, and review copies are almost always sticking out, with the package banged up pretty badly.

So for SASE, what I was going to do was send them in a plastic poly mailer, with a rigid photo mailer as the return envelope. Is that a good idea? Or does anyone have any better methods or tips?

If sending from US to Europe is what you mean by overseas, I have a 5x7 photo with a thin piece of cardboard and a sheet protector cut to fit, with a slightly larger 7x9 envelope as my SASE. That gets mailed in an 8x10 envelope to the person. I've enclosed a few US dollars for them to cover postage.
