Print Exchange (large) Shipping Option...

2002-05-28 by lyonscox

Ok, I've been trying to figure out how to ship a 13x19 easily without 
buying a case.  Consider the following and tell me what you think 
about the feasibility.

FedEx has a "Med FedEx Bag" located at...
http://www.fedex.com/us/services/packaging/?link=4

It's like a heavy Hefty trash bag.  It's wide and long.  Can be cut 
down to size and the ends folded over and taped shut.

I just used one for the Panoramic Exchange.  I had used a piece of 
plywood as stiffner, images in sleeves enclosed in a larger sleeve, 
taped to the plywood.  Used cardboard to finish the sandwich.  
Strapping taped 'em together.  My usual packaging would then wrap in 
brown paper and send but the returnable had me concerned.  So I was 
able to 'drop' this into the Med FedEx Bag, fold and strapping tape 
it closed.  Off it went.

As large as these bags are it should work for most any size exchange 
in the desktop, small floor model dimensions.  The Host would have 
the 'inconvenience' of needing some strapping tape for the 
exchange...would be worth it for that occassional 'extra' print ;-)


Sincerely & Curiously,
Cleavis
