Erfahren Sie, wie Sie eine Briefmarkenmaschinenkarte von Lucky Horse Press sicher versenden. Verwenden Sie einen stabilen Versandkarton, lassen Sie die Briefmarke manuell entwerten und schreiben Sie „Nicht knicken“, um Knicke und Verschmierungen zu vermeiden.
Quick answer
Use a rigid mailer or cardboard insert, hand-cancel the stamp, and write "Do Not Bend" on the envelope to keep your slot machine card flat and smudge-free.
Why letterpress cards need extra care
Letterpress printing creates a debossed impression that can be flattened or smudged if the card is squeezed in a standard sorting machine. The 100 lb. recycled cover stock is sturdy, but a bent corner or crease is permanent.
If you're mailing the Good Luck Slot Machine card, the matching envelope is designed for a folded card. That envelope alone won't protect the card from postal machinery—you need the outer packaging to do the heavy lifting.
How to mail a slot machine card safely
- Choose a rigid mailer or add cardboard: Place the card and its envelope inside a rigid photo mailer or between two pieces of corrugated cardboard taped together. A standard paper envelope alone will not prevent bends. A common mistake is using a greeting-card box without interior support. Always add a stiffener.
- Position the card with the printed side facing the rigid surface: The letterpress impression is most vulnerable on the front. Place the card so the printed side faces the cardboard or mailer interior. This reduces the chance of the debossed area being flattened by pressure. If you're unsure which side is the front, check the slot machine design—the debossed lines are on the front.
- Hand-cancel the stamp at the post office: Ask the postal clerk to hand-cancel the stamp instead of running the envelope through a machine. Machine canceling can create roller marks or apply pressure that damages the card inside. Hand-canceling may add a small fee at some locations. Call ahead to confirm.
- Write 'Do Not Bend' on both sides of the envelope: Use a permanent marker to write "DO NOT BEND" clearly on the front and back of the outer mailer. This alerts postal workers to handle the item more carefully. This phrase is not a guarantee—it is a request. Combine it with the rigid mailer for best results.
- Use a tracking service for valuable cards: If the card is a gift or part of a larger order, pay for tracking or certified mail. The small extra cost gives you proof of delivery and a better chance of careful handling. Tracking does not prevent damage, but it does give you a recourse if the card arrives bent.
Product facts
- Good Luck Slot Machine: The Good Luck Slot Machine card is letterpress printed on 100 lb. recycled cover stock and comes with a matching envelope. The thick paper and envelope are great for presentation, but the debossed letterpress surface is vulnerable to pressure damage in transit. Extra outer protection is essential.
