Where to buy packaging to post glass picture frame?

dinneenp · 2010-12-15 16:02:11

Hi, the odd time I post a picture frame with glass (size 30 by 40cm). My local post office doesn't have any suitable padded envelopes or similar. Just wondering where you get such item? Easons maybe but anywhere obvious that I'm not thinking of? Or do you make your own packaging? (I'm in Galway) Cheers, pa

You could try wrapping it in bubble wrap, putting it in an over size box and stuffing it full of newspaper. And dont forget to mark as fragile!

I get my packaging materials from furniture stores. Lots of their large furniture, suites etc come in ENORMOUS amounts of bubble wrap, really good thick stuff too.
They have to go to the trouble of getting rid of it so are only too happy to give it away.
