Great question, Christina! A lot of people ask about that. Hopefully someone knowledgeable will respond soon.

Hi!
I've been shipping art prints for a while now. I don't do anything fancy. First I put the print inside a simple folder made of bristol board. Then I cut 2 pieces of cardboard to the appropriate size, and put the print between them. Next I tape the cardboard pieces together at the edges with lots of packing tape. Ta-da! The print will be safe, I promise.

This is going to sound ridiculous, but after putting your print between two pieces of cardboard, wrap the whole thing in plastic, or if your prints are small enough, in ziploc bags. Why ? Hmm... You'll see when you receive a damp package that has spend a lot of time under the rain ;_;
Believe me, opening a damp package and having a nice and dry piece of art inside = A++ for the seller, who took the time to package it carefully =)

Thanks for the advice ! I was thinking of using cello bags and cardboard.
