also if this is helpful for anyone - for tabling i currently use kraft paper sleeves + for shipping i use chipboard mailers + vellum interior bags from eco enclose! i've also used glassine envelopes for sticker packaging. will probably be trying some combo of glassine/vellum + board for this now..

oo fun idea! i've used glassine/vellum in the past (for interior packaging / stickers) + i personally like how prints look thru them haha but i was kind of concerned about whether not getting a perfectly clear view might make people more hesitant.. i guess i also won't know until i try lol

ok good to know! that was what i was thinking since i've used glassine for stickers before but wasn't sure if the translucency would be more of an issue with prints

want to try to actually consign/etc zines next year but i also have 100000 prints but also it seems the only way i can just put them naked into a opaque paper bag is if i'm physically tabling

31.12.2025 15:53 โ€” ๐Ÿ‘ 4    ๐Ÿ” 0    ๐Ÿ’ฌ 0    ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

has anybody who wholesales prints / has their work in stores figured out a way to package without plastic or at least something a little less "will be around forever" than poly sleeves.. i get why the expectation is bag + board but it's one of the reasons why i'm hesitant to do that....
