    I'm sure I don't know the "best" way. But I'm pretty sure that they probably cuss me like a skunk in the garden when they try to undo my packaging.

    Raw I place inside one of the flips they provide, then wrap them individually in bubblewrap, then a piece of tape.

    Proofs I left in the capsule and place it inside one of the flips they provide, then wrap them individually in bubblewrap, then a piece of tape.

    Haven't done any crosses or upgrades or anything like that.

    Then I wrap the whole thing in bubble wrap and tape it all up.

    Next I took a box just larger than my package and put it in the box and stuffed bubblewrap all around it and sealed the box.

    Then I take the boxes (one for each submission) and put them inside a bigger box and cram it full of bubble wrap.

    Tape the sucker up with loads of fiber-reinforced boxing tape and then its ready.

    The first one I did like this I was really proud of my work, that is until I realized that I'd forgot to put the submission form in the box image

    Hmmm... maybe thats why my grades are so low image

    Crossovers - place in bubble mailer then into a box with flow-pack
    Raw uncs - flips into safety mailers into bubble mailer into a box with flow-pack
    Raw proofs - poly-bag, into flip into safety mailers into bubble mailer into a box with flow-pack.
  • I NEVER put any proof coins in the poly-bags they provide, it seems to potentially cause haze.
