Old Bubble Mailers

[anuske9]

I was just wondering what some of you do with your used bubbles mailers. I've got a collection of them in my closet and it's getting that time. Seems a waste to use them only once. Maybe I'll invent re-usable mailers someday. I'll most likely go through them, keep the interesting ones and recycle the rest of them. Anybody do anything interesting with theirs?

Straight to the garbage. I am not patient enough to open them in such a manner that they're ever reusable.

I recycle for trades.

But for sales, I send new mailers. They're paying for it, then they should receive it.

I too use them again as the are just going to a landfill. I usually open them with an exacto knife at one end and then tape it when re-using. I have labels to put over the old addresses and have never had any problem. Send them my way if you don't want them....

I'm with sholi200, reused for trades and alway new for purchases

Recyle the old/used ones, and send only new ones for trades/sales, etc.

I use them for extra padding. I cut them up to fit inside a slightly larger mailer which I buy in bulk and put the card inside the old mailer and then put that inside the new one.

ditto for me. I just use the back panels though, so they're not getting any old labels or addresses.

Looks more and more like Ebay is trying to cut down on the amount of sellers. Doesn't seem to care that when u sell on ebay good chance you also buy from the site. I won' be buying on ebay if I'm not selling on ebay.

 

[mack_and_mangos]

huh? How do you recycle the old ones? Isn't the sticky seal gone? Do you guys tape it back?

 

[wingnut888]

Always reuse them! As long as they look okay. If they are all beat up I'll use them as extra padding on the inside of a bigger bubble.

Ditto an all accounts. I still need to find a better way to get labels and postage off of them though. I end up chucking many because I destroyed them trying to get the info off.
