Where to find cardboards for sports cards shipping ?

Hi,

 

I would like to ship my sold sports cards with a very thick piece of paper like that one on the photo below.  Tried to find some on eBay with no success.

Does somebody know where I can find such shipping material ? Thanks

We have lots of cardboard boxes, not suitable for reuse, that we cut to size and insert in padded envelopes. Cheap, and reuses cardbpard that would otherwise go in recycling.

I sell Old Postcards.  Have always used thicker cardboard (double sided) from excess boxes I have. These I  cut to size. No extra cost buying backings  doing it this way.

These are decoy cards, found in some sports cards retail/hobby packs that sometimes contain thicker cards like jerseys, etc, but not in all packs. People opening lots of boxes end up with a lot of these, and they found a second life as padding in shipping.  You might find some available on ebay, but IMO it's not worth to spend money on this. Any pieces of thick cardboard cut to size will do.

Not perfect but you could try one of the sizes here. You may have to cut to sized. All depends on the quantity you require and your budget. Uline has locations across canada

Personally I prefer Corplast which is stiffer and lighter.

Unfortunately it is also relatively expensive.

Until politicians got all green, I was able to "harvest" signs the night after elections mostly those of the losers and the parties I dislike. 

See link below...not sure is this is what you are looking for...

One of these may work for you.

 

Cardboard Envelopes (123ink.ca)

Bubble Envelopes (123ink.ca)

 

Minimum order is normally 49.00 but there are shipping promotions from time to time.\

Dollar store white bristol board and cut to size.

 

I've been using Bags Unlimited dot com (Rochester, NY) for shipping supplies since my early days on eBay. However, I don't believe you will find chipboard or filler pads made in that size, perhaps you can customize an order. If you're buying in bulk, their prices are often cheaper even with customs, freight and tax than purchasing from Cdn ULine.
