Wholesale Order Packaging

[kayrunp]

Hello!

Not positive this is the right section.

I received my first wholesale order for my leather bracelets and wallets. I make little cloth bags for the smaller pieces. I was thinking for storage and style number labeling, maybe i should put them in a plastic bag on top of that. Would the leather go moldy? I also have bigger items like tote bags, and I am not sure how to package them for these orders to protect them in from scuffs and dirt. I was thinking http://www.uline.com/BL_208/Uline-2-Mil-Reclosable-Bags?keywords=uline%20reclosable%20poly%20bags for the smaller stuff. not sure what for the bigger bags.

any suggestions?

Thanks,

KP

Whatever you package them in, make sure the leather has some room to breathe. For my bigger items, I like to wrap them in bubble wrap with both ends open. This allows the leather to get some air, while still protecting it from any postal abuse. You can do the same with other products, I just find it easier to use the bubble wrap since it's available locally in large rolls.

Put your stuff in what ever you want to use. They will only be in there the time it takes the mail to run. I've sent packages overseas and sometimes it may take a couple of weeks and i've never had any type of problem.

It's actually not being shipped in this case but will just be stored at the store. I was hoping the packaging could keep it clean labeled and able to withstand being stored and moved around without getting marked up , scuffed or dirty. The small stuff I make is in linen bags, but the waxed canvas tote that picks up a lot of lint and stuff i could use some sort of plastic bag for.
