This is an idea given to me by someone here on 
the Forum in one of the threads on packing cels. 
I tried it and it is *stellar*!!! I will never 
ship another way again!  Here is the method:

1. Take some cardborad and a suitable sized 
Priority mail box.

2. Cut the cardboard to the right size - sandwich 
the cel inside and tape it up. (Use more than one 
layer, if necessary.)

3. Take the Priority mail box and cut off the 
flaps that do NOT have the adhesive strip on 
them. (Yes, this means you are leaving the 
adhesive strip on the box - hang on and see why.)

4. Leave the box flat, and start at one end - 
pull the tape off the adhesive strip and fold 
over the now sticky flap. This seals the end of 
the box in a way that it is IMPOSSIBLE for the 
contents to come in contact with the adhesive. ^_^

5. Slip the cel sandwich into the box, and seal 
the open end in the same way that you sealed the 
first. I use a little extra tape on the ends just 
in case.

The bonus also to doing this is that the edges of 
the box are tougher too since instead of being 
two layers of cardboard, the folded over flap 
creates a three inch wide edge that is *three* 
layers of cardboard thick. Also, you can take the 
cut off flaps and tape them down on the other two 
sides of the box, making it even more difficult 
to bend - all for the same weight as a box that 
is just flattened! ^_^

If I haven't made myself clear, ask me and I'll 
make a drawing to show people! ^_^
