Packing tip for Ties, banners

[aswegrow2]

When shipping a men's tie  or flag or banner  you can wrap them around an air pillow  or  paper towel cardboard tube.  Wrap around and  place in sealed plastic bag to hold your item in place. Then I ship In a poly mailer.  This method keeps your item from getting crushed .

that is fancy alright, but is a tie being crushed a real issue?

Thanks for the tip.
I've sold ties before too but never thought of wrapping them around a cardboard tube.
I'll definitely do it on my next sale. 🙂

I fold them in half, then fold in half again and then thirds (or half depending on length of tie) and then slide it in a sandwich zip lock and seal it. 

No one has ever complained and it takes up a lot less room when I store them.

I don't sell ties but I store mine snugly rolled around themselves thin end to thick end.  I can see every one of them instead of having to dig through a drawer.  I would think rolling them would be a good method for shipping.

No added bulk and 99% wrinkle free upon delivery.

I tried rolling but sometimes the bias will shift and the tie will have wrinkles that are very hard to get out or the lining will not center again.

My way is bulky, but usually with no evidence of creases.

When folks get ties they really do not went to send them to dry cleaners to get the creases out. This prevents this in shipping but works with felt pennants, banners and flags also 🙂
