How to Package
-
Step 1: Insert each card into a clear penny sleeve.
Avoid using solid or opaque sleeves, as they require additional handling and can lead to delays.
-
Step 2: Place each sleeved card into a semi-rigid card holder.
For standard trading cards, semi-rigid holders should measure 3 5/16 inches by 4 7/8 inches. Do not use top loaders or include obstructions such as tape, pull tabs, or sticky notes.
Both sides of the card should be fully visible at all times. -
Step 3: Secure the bundle between cardboard dividers with 2-3 rubber bands.
Tight enough to prevent items from shifting during transit, but not so tight that they get damaged or warped.
-
Step 4: Wrap in bubble wrap and place in your new shipping box.
Use additional bubble wrap or packing material to fill any empty space. This will help prevent movement and shifting during transit.
-
Step 5: Seal the box with tape using multiple strips on seams.
Use packing tape or security tape whenever possible. Avoid using painter's tape, thin Scotch tape, or repurposed tape.
-
Step 6: Make sure your shipping label is addressed to the correct MGA destination
Please find the list below for your convenience. Avoid using label pouches; instead, attach labels directly to the box with clear tape.
