Looking for cute packaging for cards...

[Goldyward]

I am selling cards in sets of four...I have been packaging them in the Papertrey Ink clear acetate boxes and tying a ribbon on them...I have to mail the sets out to customers...Here is where I am looking for help...Are there any cute ways to package that won't be a ton to mail...when I use the PTI boxes, I have to mail in a box...I was hoping to start using padded mailers but I don't want the box to get damaged. But I also want them to look cute when the customer receives them.

Any Ideas or photos of ideas would be awesome!!!

I often wrap them in clear cellophane and then tie a beautiful bow. Simple, light and pretty! I sometimes do a vellum wrap kind of like this.

Yes, I use cello bags, too. I fold them over so the package is flat and tie them with raffia. I like the raffia because if it gets "smooshed" it still looks okay.

This does make a nice looking presentation. And when you use the padded envie to mail them, I would add a piece of cardboard cut to size to protect the cards from bending.

I found a pouch made from one sheet of 12 x 12 designer paper that easily holds 4 cards and envelopes and can hold six......I found it at
http://elissacreates.blogspot.com/20...pouch-i-made-u
that is what printed off at the bottom of the sheet when I printed it... but incase it doesn't work..
Take a 12 x 12 sheet of double sided paper.
fold in half diagonally
Open- position with corners pointing as compass directions
Fold East and west corners in about 5.5" (each side)
Create a "W" fold in the center about 3/4" deep
Bring North and south corners together and punch with your choice of punch- She used slot punch and I used a regular hole punch.
slip a loop of ribbon through the hole, and then slip ends of ribbon through the loop.
Ready to fill. Can tie ends of ribbon together to make a hanger.
Flat enough to mail in a padded envelope but cute as a bug's ear.

Hello Mugsy:

What a wonderful project - those pouches made from school folders. At the dollar store they come in packets of 3 for one dollar! I shall be trying my hand at these for presents. Thanks for passing this link along.
