Wrapping and packaging has been a part of giving gifts for centuries. Custom envelopes or packaging make the act of sending a letter to someone that much more enjoyable, because mail with a personal touch is best. Getting a package in the mail is almost as good as receiving a shoe... That's right, a shoe. Wouldn't it be great to get random objects in the mail? No box. No envelope. Just a deflated beach ball, cowboy hat, or flip-flop? Yeah, it would. Custom packaging is almost as good as that. Something with glue, twine, or cardboard. Maybe sealing wax. From me to you.
In this free video series, expert mailer Mike Muller shows you how to make some unique and custom packaging for a personal letter. Mike will lead you through coming up with ideas and designing a letter, finding the materials, and going to work creating a cute, custom envelope. You will use a music book, and old collection of art, twine, and plastic. Presto! A unique, custom made envelope ready to tickle the mail man and astound your friends.
"There are many different things you can send through the postal service. This is a box that was made, kind of non-traditionally, that I received for Christmas. This is a book binding that turned into a letter that got sent. Anything you can think of probably can be sent through as long as it's not hazardous or harmful materials. The postal service might not like it or understand it, but I've seen a one by two inch postcard be accepted, I've seen a flip flop be accepted through the mail, a deflated beach ball and I've even seen a canvas painted like a letter with the address actually painted on it, sent through the mail. And it works. So today we're going to be talking about the different types of materials and things we can use in creative ways to customize our packaging."
