Proper Way to Package Steels!!

[StoRM]

Hi everyone,

I'm new here and I am getting into the "better" versions of steelbook collecting. I recently sold most of my US releases and I just thought I would share how I personally package steels and wish more companies would package like this, haha.

By the way, if you can't tell already, all steelbooks are individually wrapped. Sometimes I will use a big roll and wrap up to three together at once, which separates each by a piece of bubble wrap.

I tend to use my old Zavvi boxes, wrapped in bubble wrap and then boxed to ship.

personally i would be p***ed if my steels came packaged like the pics in the op, clearly not enough protection, you shouldn't be able to tell what steelbook it is if it is wrapped properly

Those don't look good at all. The outer box looks flimsy and the steels look thrown in, like a bargain bin.

My tip: Double box anything of value and for everything else, it needs at least a small box and to be wrapped in bubblewrap inside.

Just seeing them lying haphazardly in that box with so little packaging makes me cringe.

EDIT: Maybe we can get a mod edit to add "Im" to the beginning of the thread title?

The bundles definitely need to be more secure. Bundles should be further bundled to two, maybe 3, double boxed or into a smaller, sturdier box. They're too loose in the OP.

They are too loose and the box looks flimsy. I would sit and check each one because that right there in the op doesn't look well protected.

I see what you guys are saying, but I got these all to the buyer several weeks ago and he was very happy with the packaging and nothing was damaged. I will definitely keep in mind your guys opinions though and put more bubble wrap next time. I also think the "box not being sturdy enough" was not an issue. The pictures just don't do the box justice. I definitely could use a lot more bubble wrap though. This was over 80 steels that got to the buyer in mint shape though. Better safe than sorry I guess. Thanks guys!
