What's the cardboard shipping thing called?

That annoyingly strong corrugated cardboard shipping packaging that is so difficult to open - what's it called? You know, the one that slabs are shipped in.

I've searched on Amazon but apparently I'm using the wrong search terms.

Thanks

Those would be known as Safety Mailers:

Ah, indeed that's it. I'll have to find a source for smaller quantity. 250' of this would still be around for my great-great-great grandchildren. Unless my wife choose to bury me in it.

Thanks.

 

Somebody has a precut sheet form with text about your merchandise is inside.

 

Cheaper than a casket, and if you are going to be cremated...

 

They make them that big?

 

Ah, cool. I had wondered where to get them, but I rarely mail out coins.

The safety mailers can be annoying, but believe me, it's better than the alternatives.

Take my Nero, for example. The dealer had abandoned best practices after a move, there was no safety mailer, and the coins were mailed in a floppy, padded mailer. The coins were just put in a little envelope inside that, a big one and a little one together. Snap.

Another dealer fared better, but used an execrable, self-sealing 2x2. I got the cardboard apart easily enough, but it remained trapped in the plastic, and I couldn't just cut around it. I had to poke it out of the plastic and hope it didn't get damaged.

Some use pseudo safety mailers. One uses multiple layers of very heavy paper, which works pretty well.

 

I should have my son mail my dead body to PCGS or NGC to get slabbed. With my artificial knee I should get a details grade.
