Hi all. My folks made these aluminum license plate toppers at the foundry for years, and I’ve had some interest, so I’m going to start making them again. See the pic below. (We have them for multiple cities, and I’ll list them on CFF once I get them back in production)
My folks never shipped them - they had a customer who bought them to sell at flea markets, and he’d pick them up in person. I’d need to be able to ship them to folks who want them.
I know I could ship multiples in a box, no problem.
But what would be the cheapest way to ship 1 or 2 of them, which is likely what most people would order? I don’t want them to get bent. But I want to keep it cheap for buyers.
Who has experience shipping something like this? I don’t want to learn it by trial and error arriving damaged to customers.
Can I just put them in a flat cardboard envelope?
Do I need to add reinforcement like a sheet of cardboard on each side?
Thanks!
