Packing orders for shipment can be a stressful affair. This guide will tell you exactly what you need to do to ensure safe, easy packaging for all your Cardmarket orders.
We recommend that you use a windowless envelope or cardboard parcel for this (We do not recommend using bubble envelopes. You can see why here.)
Place the cards for your order into sleeves. For expensive cards, we reccommend using both a perfect fit and tournament sleeve, but it's not required to use both. Regular tournament sleeves can fit up to two cards, while penny sleeves can hold up to four cards. You can consult the video above for more details on sleeving reccomendations.
Place your sleeved card into a Top Loader. Keep in mind that regular top loaders will only safely fit one sleeved card.
Seal your sleeve or top loader with tape, putting a slip of paper on top of the sleeve / top loader to prevent the tape from touching the cards.
Find a postcard or piece of cardboard (it's best if the material is fitted to the size of your envelope or parcel). Place the sleeved card(s) or top loader(s) on the fitted postcard or cardboard and secure them with tape so they cannot move.
Place another postcard on top of the exposed cards and secure it with tape. If using another postcard is impossible or puts your package over the weight limit for your desired shipping method, then you can use a cheap card(s) on top of the exposed card (provided your sleeve has room).
Put your (fitted) postcard or cardboard into the envelope. If you're using a large parcel, like a cardboard box, please secure your cards with packaging material to ensure that the cards are safe from damage during transport (you could even put the cards into an envelope first before placing them into the larger parcel for extra protection).
