Large White Cardboard CD Mailer 6" X 6-3/8" with Adhesive Flap - 50 Pack Review
Made of glossy-both-sides cardboard. Easy to write on with a ballpoint pen but if you want to use a fountain pen or roller ball with liquid ink, better use a paper label. Also, if you have a rubber stamp with "Media Mail" or "First Class" don't use it because the ink will smear. Use a sticker or write with a ballpoint instead. The cardboard material is thicker than a picture postcard but not quite as thick as the cardboad that comes with a new man's shirt. No internal padding, so the mailer is not as stiff as heavier and considerably more expensive ones I have been buying from Office Depot. However, I have been using Netflix DVD rental service successfully for years and their disk mailers are just flimsy paper, so I conclude that these mailers are very safe for mailing your disks even without the internal padding. The inside is glossy smooth, so it will not damage the surface of your disk. Overall sealed dimensions of the mailer are 6 inches x 5-15/16 inches. Unsealed dimensions are 6 inches x 7-5/8. These mailers are designed to mail disks either bare or in a paper or vinyl sleeve; there is not room inside for a plastic jewel case. The flap is securely self-sealing; just remove a paper strip to expose the adhesive and press the flap closed. The flap incorporates a perforated zip strip for easy opening of the package by the recipient. The description of "50 pack" is a bit misleading. A full pack of these contains more than 50 mailers so I received the quantity of 50 loose; i.e. not in sealed packaging; however that is not problem for me.For calculating postage costs: each mailer weights 0.6 ounces empty, 1.2 ounces with one CD or DVD with paper sleeve, or 1.8 ounces with two disks in paper sleeves. The postal rate structure has gotten more complicated lately... so much so that even the postal clerks can get confused. Your most accurate source to calculate postage is the website: [...]. Within the USA, you can send these mailers first class cheaper than media mail, but there is a surcharge over the letter rate. The mailers are defined as packages instead of letters because they are (1) square, and (2) contain a rigid object (so they have to be hand-canceled). Right now (5/31/2011) the first class letter rate for two ounces is 64 cents, but the first class package rate is 84 cents. Letters sent outside the USA can go first class international. These rates vary by country, but once again there is the surcharge to be paid. For example, first class international letter rate for 2 ounces to Costa Rica is $1.76; package rate is $1.96. For Australia: letter = $1.82; package $2.02. Parenthetically, there is a big stink going on now because the USPS has let Netflix pay the letter rate instead of the package rate for their zillions of DVD mailings.
