Packaging sets for sale

[Quicksilver Signs]

I like selling sets, but the problem is packaging them, finding the right size bags to fit all the comics n such.

 

I bought one of those roller shrink wrap deals from Staples and it seems to work very well. You can wrap any quantity tightly and they seem to be holding together very nicely.

I find 15 or so books, bagged and boarded, fit nicely in a magazine size bag and can be taped up into a nice snug brick. Then make multiple bricks and tape those together.

Agreed. I just thought this works well and no bags required, they unwrap easily for inspection too.

but they dont re-wrap easily do they? (just based on my experience with saranwrap)

 

If a buyer wants to see a book (say Secret Wars #8) you have to go thru the process of unwrapping all that stuff... magazine bags taped to size are easier and easier to open and close...

Depending on set size, you can also use Golden bags too.

True which is why there is no Secret Wars 8 in that set

 

re-wrapping would most likely be done with new roller wrap.

 

I'm not 100% sold on this idea just something I thought would work well. I've found most people don't want to unwrap the set anyway, especially if you list the grades on there and put important books on the front and back of the set.

I use CGC bags that come with the slab, fit up to 10 books comfortably. Those CGC bags look ugly so use them to pack set or quantity books is good for me.
