I still put mine in a "plastic bag". I don't do frames..the plastic bag seems cheap, but I do like that clients can see the photo thru the plastic. It just seems so cheap...I need to find something a little nice for 11 x 14 and above that is not too costly.

I deliver all prints in the standard black box with black tissue and a gold band. I see nothing wrong with plastic bags, after all the client does not keep the package anyway.

I too am looking for a better way to deliver large prints. I do have black 16x20 boxes that I use for that size (and 8x10 and 5x7 black boxes) that are packaged with aqua tissue (that matches my branding) and logo stickers, but beyond that, I usually keep the larger prints and float wraps in the box that WHCC ships them in. Although it's not pretty, it keeps them protected. I would like to find larger boxes that I can pack with the crinkle stuffing or other stuffing material that would give it a more upscale look. I've browsed uline.com but haven't really done a thorough search.

A friend of mine uses Rice Studio Supplies. I have not done business with them as of yet, but it seems that they have lots of possibilities that even have room for your branding.

HTH,

Scott
