			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Every holiday season we get emails from various eBay Sellers asking &#8220;What should I use to ship my widget?&#8221;  That said we want to suggest the best shipping supplies for a few of eBay&#8217;s most commonly sold items.</p>
<ul type="disc">
<li>DVD&#8217;s/Video Games <strong>use</strong> DVD Bubble Mailers</li>
<li>CD&#8217;s <strong>use</strong> CD Bubble Mailers</li>
<li>VHS Tapes <strong>use</strong> VHS Bubble Mailers</li>
<li>Books <strong>use</strong> Bubble Mailers</li>
<li>Clothing <strong>use</strong> Poly Mailers</li>
<li>Pictures <strong>use</strong> No-Bend Mailers</li>
<li>Posters <strong>use</strong> Kraft Mailing Tubes</li>
<li>Jewelry <strong>use</strong> XPAK Poly Bubble Mailers</li>
<li>Coins/Trading Cards <strong>use</strong> #000 Bubble Mailers</li>
<li>Sun Glasses <strong>use</strong> Corrugated Mailers</li>
<li>Golf Clubs <strong>use</strong> 6 x 6 x 48&#8243; Corrugated Boxes</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>Please Note:</strong>  We recommend reading our <a title="Choosing the Correct Size Bubble Mailers" href="http://blog.shippingsupply.com/packing-tips/choosing-the-correct-size-bubble-mailer/" target="_blank">Choosing the Correct Size Bubble Mailers</a> and <a title="How Shipping Boxes are Measured" href="http://blog.shippingsupply.com/packing-tips/how-shipping-boxes-are-measured/" target="_blank">How Shipping Boxes are Measured</a> articles to help choose the correct size product(s).  Lastly, please remember to properly wrap fragile items and always insure your packages with your carrier.  These extra steps will help to protect both your bottom line&#8230;and your reputation.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>One of the most common mistakes made when packing is not properly protecting the item being shipped.  When this happens, the impact to the outside of the box transfers to the contents which may cause damage.  Here are some suggestions for safely packing your item for shipping&#8230;</p>
<ul>
<li>Use a sturdy <a title="Corrugated Shipping Boxes" href="http://www.shippingsupply.com/c-1-corrugated-boxes.aspx">Corrugated Shipping Box</a>.  Make sure the corners and flaps are intact.  If you are reusing a box, do not use a box with tears or holes.</li>
<li>Put protective wrapping such as 3/16&#8243; height <a title="Bubble Wrap" href="http://www.shippingsupply.com/p-8540-316-x-12-x-175-1-upsable-perforated-air-bubble-roll.aspx">Bubble Wrap</a> around the item.  If packing more than one item into a box, wrap each item individually.</li>
<li>Center your item in the box and allow for 2&#8243; to 3&#8243; of packing material to be placed around the item (this includes the area underneath the item).  We recommend using <a title="Packing Peanuts" href="http://www.shippingsupply.com/c-2325-loose-fill.aspx">Packing Peanuts</a> or bubble wrap as cushioning.  The goals here are to suspend and stabilize the contents.  The items should not touch any portion of the box or not move around during transportation.</li>
<li>If shipping multiple items be sure that they do not touch each other and that there is at least 2&#8243; between each item.</li>
<li>Tape your box on the top and bottom seem (include the left and right sides) using a <a title="Carton Sealing Tape" href="http://www.shippingsupply.com/c-2490-carton-sealing.aspx">Carton Sealing Tape</a>.</li>
<li>Put the appropriate <a title="Shipping Labels" href="http://www.shippingsupply.com/c-1390-shipping-labels.aspx">Shipping Label</a> on the outside of the box to encourage proper handling.</li>
</ul>
<p>Remember that poor packing can lead to damaged items or cause your customers to be critical of the item you sold them.  In either case, they might not come back.</p>
<p>Lastly, even the best of packing jobs can end up getting damaged; therefore, we do recommend insuring your packages with your carrier.</p>
