Packaging and shipping prints

[donkeymusic]

Hello,

I was just wondering how you ship prints to clients?

My popular size 10x8, which I get printed at Loxley. The prints come in their standard ackaging and only recently have I started to order their boutique boxes for orders of five .or more prints..

So now looking at the best way to present prints to clients?
For prints do you post them to the client?

Wondering what methods give the best impression to clients.

Thank you for any advice.

I think it would depend on the distance you need to deliver the prints. If its just down the road then I'd say hand deliver them.

If not then send them via recorded delivery I would say. Don't want people to say they haven't had prints so they can try and get free prints from you.

suppose what i was asking is, do you just pop them in envelopes or do you use any specific parcelling for prints?

Just dropping them into an envelope sounds a little cheap, you would want to make sure they are placed into card envelopes for safe delivery,but oyu need to always cover costs of postage when selling.
I have been using DSCL, they will post to customer , leaving out the invoice which is for your use only..

oh yes, i do put them in a card envelope marked up so that they dot get bent,but just wondering if that looks enough to the customer.
