bubble mailer size

[Ghostface420]

i bought a size 0 bubble mailer to ship a game out and think it may be too small to ship the game in (it barely fits i have to really squeeze it in(to the envelope) what do you guys think should it be ok?

wrong forum.

You should be fine. Just make sure you put the game in slowly/gently so as not to tear the mailer.

I'm not entirely certain which forum this should go in, but hopefully you won't get too much flak.

Yeah just ease it in nice and slow. You don't want any tearing or pain for her..I mean uh the mailer. But yeah I use #0's for games and dvds and I think it's #2 for multiple games and larger things.

EDIT: oh yeah I use JiffyLite, others might run a bit larger or smaller for sizes.

#0 is for single DVD or Game

#1 two DVD's/Games or for larger limited edition cases


I use # 1 for everything just because I bought them in bulk and I don't necessarily need more than 100 mailers in my house at one time. =)

I was thinking of buying a bunch of #1s from Ebay instead of #0s as they're almost always an extremely tight fit.

I prefer a larger mailer than I need, so that I can put a little extra packing material in there.

That usually seems unnecessary to me... bubble mailers work just fine for most hard plastic cased games (PS2/3, GC, Wii, DS, etc.) and I just use boxes for cardboard boxed (GBA, SNES, etc.) games. The only time I use extra packing is for guides- I sandwich them between pieces of cardboard before I stick them in bubble mailers.

If it barely fits, snap some of the bubbles on the edges.

Well, to each his own, suppose. Mailers are too flimsy for my taste, which is why I generally prefer putting my games in a flat rate envelope and wrapping them up in bubble wrap. You can get a couple of layers on each side. I only use mailers for odd things here and there. And obviously, please don't take this as me saying my way is right. I probably waste a few cents on the extra bubble wrap here and there. I would just prefer to avoid the one out of the million maniac who will complain.
