Packaging photos for retail?

fonz,

I just use the standard mount board you get in art shops, not sure what the thickness is, Daler & a couple of ojter companies do it. My local art shop sells them for £2.99 but Hobbycraft sell them for £3.99.

I get 2 400mm by 500mm mounts from each sheet.

You can get archival quality board where the bevelled edge doesn't fade over time for a bit more money.

I tape the print to the back & occasionally put another board over that for extra strength

I've just found this online store bevelled mount 508mm x 406mm £0.75 each when buying min of 40. They also sell backing board and poly bags. Prices look good i'm gonna email them for a sample.

So for an a3 prints packed ready for retail will cost me £2.35 which sound pretty awesome price broken down below.

DSC labs a3 print = £1.10
Standard mount 508mm x 406mm = £0.75
Poly bag 508mm x 406mm = £0.20
Backing Board 508mm x 406mm = £0.30

have you factored in the £25 carriage charge? Looks like orders under £200 are £15 plus £10 handling.

Still a reasonable price provided DSC produce good prints.

No i didn't factor the extra charges bit cheeky adding a handling charge.
