I may try the print sandwich method. Seems pretty easy. I have been using a variety of things. I actually ordered some boxes from West Coast Imaging because they have the perfect sizes. But it isn't very economical for me to keep ordering boxes from them. I have some other boxes that I have been using from ULine, and they work ok. Never had any damaged either, but always looking for better ways ya know? I don't like rolling either, but will do so over 20x30. Just too much of a pain when prints start getting larger than that.

We order cardboard from a cardboard wholesaler in Anchorage (West Coast Paper) - it comes in 4' x 8' bundles of 10 sheets. For a small fee they will then cut it up for us - we give them a diagram. We have it cut in about 4 different sizes basically matching the size of our prints plus 2 inches. They wrap the individually cut pieces together in paper making nice bundles. We then put each print in a Clear Bag and tape in to the cardboard. We sandwich the print with 2 sheeting of cardboard on each side and tape around the edges. Using this method, we have never had a print damaged from shipping - pretty good considering they are all coming from Alaska. We are able to go up to 40 inches with this method. I would like to offer some longer panoramics, but I think they will require going to a tube. I hate to roll prints and put them in a tube, I would much rather keep them flat. Hey Mark,

Hey - would love to trade thoughts with you on print packaging sometime Ron. Do you have a good source for boxes? Ha, I was thinking the exact same thing – “I wonder if he tried to squeeze in there.”

Of course it is easy to say sitting here in a warm, comfortable chair! Hi Richard,

I didn’t squeeze in there, this was a far as I went – but I would like to check it out further. Of course it is easy to say sitting here in a warm, comfortable chair!

That would be quite a canyoneering feat to squeeze in there. I've got to get out there more. You're selling a heck of a lot of prints. nice! A hypnotizing composition.
