Under the new postal classifications, the above items would be considered non-machinable flats (for bulk mail) or retail parcels (for first class). Bulk rates apply if you are sending more than 200 pieces of like dimensions and weight. Media rates are determined as a retail flat or parcel and there is no minimum to send.
We recommend using the bubble-lined kraft bags for shipping your media. It provides extra protection during mailing to help prevent breakage, but is a smaller and more light-weight alternative to a corrugated box. Shipping from Polyline to your company is more expensive for bubble-lined bags because they have to be sent in oversize cartons.
