Packaging a coin tube

[Bars]

I am looking to sell a tube of milky philarmonics soon, so would appreciate some advice on how best to package it for my first sale . What do you guys do when sending off a tube?

Basically.... bubble wrap around it and then either in a sealable jiffy bag of preferably I use a box... also good idea to add some tissue paper in the tube so that the lid stays on but you don't get the coins moving up and down

Mr RII288 is right. bubble wrap tape and bog roll/tissue!

When I sold my last tube, I did the following:

Wrapped the tube a number of times in bubble wrap then plenty of tape around it
Taped the now bubble wrapped tube to a piece of card board the same size as the box I was going to put it in. This was so the tube didn't roll around
Placed into a box and packed the remaining space in the box with newspaper
Sealed the box with a load of tape

Some might say this is overkill however I feel is someone is spending a lot of money with you then you can at least afford to package their items well. Also, if the worst was to happen and you had to make a claim then the RM can ask about packaging as it is the sender’s responsibility to package the goods well.

All good tips. Want to leave a good impression for future sales, so good to hear from senior stackers. Thanks all

1. Place a piece of folded bubble wrap or packing bean(s) inside the tube to stop the coins rattling.
Give it a good shake ( keep your thumb on the lid though ! ) to check before wrapping further.

2. Either wrap the tube in several turns of clingfilm or place in a polythene bag, wrap tightly then tape to close.
I never tape the bare lid because many tapes leave a disgusting sticky residue.

3. Assuming you are posting special delivery, package dimensions are less critical so wrap the tube in multiple turns of bubble wrap giving several centimetres of thickness all round.
Alternatively a small cardboard box is a good suggestion but fill it with packing - paper, bubble wrap, polystyrene beans etc. so the tube doesn't have room to move.

Job done !
