Hi all

Now getting the real gist of this subli thing having invested in a mug press from Martin at BMS and wondering how I ever lived without it. It is nice having the copyright on all my own artwork and gives me a real buzz to see it on products.
My latest efforts have been expended on Steins from Graeme at The Transfer Press and, very nice they are too!! My designs (even if I do say so myself) look pretty damn good and, I've sold a couple to start the ball rolling but...........how on earth do I ship them safely either singly or in pairs?
I've measured the 700ml stein as being 190mm high x 105mm diam base x 140 across diameter and handle. I've looked at my normal supply chain such as RajaPack thinking - easy!!! Oh how lamentably wrong I was..................therefore I'm just wondering if someone can tell me how they ship steins and which supplier they're using please?? Thanks to you all.

I use 8" x 6" x 6" postage boxes of ebay with plenty of bubble wrap.

If you want a more professional package, you may want to get your own boxes made up - I do this for "El Grande" mugs, but I do so few steins that I just "bodge and wrap" with bubblewrap and any box that fits.

It might not be as cheap as using "bodge and wrap" packing but, if it's steins you're selling, you can probably accommodate the cost of the custom-made box in the end price.
