As the Holiday season approaches we put together a useful list to help send out your gifts.\u00a0Whether you are shipping to a friend or family member or working in fulfillment these tips are sure to come in handy.<\/div>\n

Apparel.<\/h2>\n

\"Picture\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Generally You should try and ship apparel in\u00a0<\/span>poly bags<\/span><\/a>\u00a0to save on cost.<\/span>
\n\u200bTry and measure your items in the form that you will be shipping them out (folded etc) and choose bags accordingly here.
\nA good places to start for T-shirts, yoga pants, jeans and even light sweatshirts is a<\/span>\u00a010×13<\/a>.<\/span>
\nDresses or lager sweaters –\u00a0<\/span>12×15.5<\/span><\/a>
\nSmall coats or bigger items<\/span>\u00a014.5×19<\/a><\/span>
\nAnd you can keep sizing up from there.<\/div>\n
\n

Shoes.<\/h2>\n

\"Picture\"<\/a><\/p>\n

When shipping shoes in their\u00a0original box a\u00a0<\/span>14×10.5×6<\/span><\/a>\u00a0usually works great and you\u201dll even have room for some bubble or void fill. If you want to try and send two at a time and stack them on each other, you can try and squeeze in a<\/span>\u00a016x12x10<\/span><\/a>,<\/span>\u00a0but measure your shoe boxes first.<\/span>
\n\u200bThe next size for larger sized shoes (Mens 13+) or even some boots would be a<\/span>\u00a016x10x6<\/span><\/a>\u00a0or\u00a0<\/span>16x12x6<\/span><\/a>.<\/span><\/div>\n
\n

Smartphones & Eye-wear<\/h2>\n

\"Picture\"<\/a><\/p>\n

If your sending out the newest Iphone or some sweet summer shades they both have similar sized product packaging that fits great in an\u00a0<\/span>8x4x4.<\/span><\/a>\u00a0If you want to add something extra special you can use a white corrugated mailer with the<\/span>\u00a0same dimension<\/span>\u00a0<\/a>or even try an\u00a0<\/span>8x3x3<\/span><\/a>.<\/div>\n
\n

Toys.<\/h2>\n

\"Picture\"<\/a><\/p>\n

This one you\u201dll really have to measure each item as they all size so differently.
\nIf you are dealing with small collectible\u00a0figurines a\u00a0<\/span>4x4x4<\/span><\/a>\u00a0is great or\u00a0<\/span>a<\/span>\u00a06x4x4<\/span><\/a>.<\/span><\/div>\n
\n

Books & Video Games<\/h2>\n

\"Picture\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Video games cases fit great in a padded mailer<\/span>\u00a08.5×12.<\/span><\/a>
\n\u200bBooks can also work in there but if they are heavier or hard cover try a\u00a0<\/span>book-fold.<\/span><\/a><\/div>\n
\n

Records<\/h2>\n

\"Picture\"<\/a><\/p>\n

It’s a no brainer, send these in a<\/span>\u00a0record mailers.<\/span><\/a>\u00a0You can check out our\u00a0<\/span>post<\/span>\u00a0<\/a>abo<\/span>ut the best way to\u00a0<\/span>pack these.\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n
