What do you use to ship comics in? I save boxes I've received comics in to reuse, but have run out. I'm thinking of ordering from Gemini (http://www.geminicomicsupply.com/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;), but I'll spend at least $1 extra each time I send out comics to do that. I've done cardboard inside an envelope before, but I only think that's acceptable for inexpensive books. Thoughts?

I buy Duck Brand shipping boxes (11.5 X 8.75 X 2.12) through Amazon.

I love Gemini mailers. My box has lasted me ages. I figure it cost me less than $.75 per mailer, which allows me to ship comics cheaper to my customers.

Thanks for the responses. I bought some document mailers like the Duck brand ones at Staples, but if I need to get more will probably order from Gemini.
