Honestly I think its lighter than the cardboard approach but I've never actually received any print sent flat the correct way

I got a bucking bronco print from irrational and it was shipped flat and bent at a 20 - 30 degree angle from the center

That was annoying

Yeah I got lucky mine was fine, UPS is really hard on things.


But I guess we will just have to agree to disagree on what would weigh more and be more expensive.

Sure but I would think it somewhat telling if there are no known examples of a store shipping it flat correctly

I believe C & B must for gloss prints (specially coated prints) and I know they pack them like mad

Otherwise they ship them in tubes and are generally considered the best store for this sort of thing

Of course that's just my opinion

Well yes I would agree there are no known example os "stores" doing it correctly, that is different then saying there are no known examples or we haven't done it ourselves tons of times.

I base my opinion on the fact I have shipped many in poster tubes and flat. I have found that cost is actually slightly less flat even when they are done what I consider the right way (with an extra layer or 2 of cardboard on the inside). 3 Layers of cardboard are actually lighter then those really heavy tubes that treehouse uses.

Flat is best if packaged correctly, but since it's rare for retailers to do so... +1 for tube!

Also, Siege of Columbia board game is now live.
