Don't worry OP - you're not alone in this. The RM are ruddy clueless to issue the three graces bars in packaging following the Una bars being released in 'cling film'. I fully expect the next release to be housed in something completely different again.

(unless, of course, they have a cunning plan to release matching empty packaging at some point in the future - for a small fee) ?

Personally i have re-housed my Una bars in hard capsules and am girding my loins to do the same with the three graces. Any product in the original packaging will sell quicker than loose product - whether the packaging will carry a premium is yet to be determined but, historically, it does make a difference in re-sale prices.

I bought a bar for my own pleasure which i will re-house. Anyone who has bought bars to eventually re-sell would be advised to leave them as is.

I'm pretty decided on rehousing the Una bar in a capsule but still in two minds about the Three Graces bar. 

My OCD wants them all to be the same (so I'll have the same conflict when the next bar comes out however its packaged) and I'm not really looking to sell any time soon...

Might wait and see how the next one is released and let future me make the decision 😆

Easy solution is to buy another Three Graces bar, and then remove one of them from the OMP and put it in a capsule... 😁

The RM will release the 3G bars also in the same plastic sheets, as the Una bars. In Germany the 3G bars are offered only in these plastic sheets, shipping in August. If you buy a whole sheet, i wouldn't remove them. Single bars, no matter if 1, or 10 OZ, look so much nicer in capsules.

That would be the still frozen ones then! The cold ones are often the ones from last week that the dog refused to eat!

So, you're going to take it out of the plastic packaging, and put it in a plastic capsule instead?

Because you have heard plastic could ruin it?

What about sovereigns? If a bullion sovereign comes in plastic OMP that looks like a small plastic bag, would it be better in a capsule or left… ‘original’ etc.?

[Stuntman]

I put all my PM bullion coins in capsules.  Currently I favour Quadrums.

No only because I dont know what OMP is and I cant be arrrrrsed to read the thread, and too lazy to research.

Original Mint Packaging 😉

Ok - so basically you know my condom size? Then definitely no!

We use some resealable plastic bag which I am sure are very stable.

The "baddies" are the PVC ones. Most plastics are probably OK.

Ooh, you might find this interesting then. On the receiving end, I tend to discard your resealable plastic bags. Why? Because they are usually folded after being sealed and are then sellotaped for security. Removing the tape usually takes some of the printed Chards logo with it, and the edges of where the printing comes off look a bit flaky. Not only does it make the bags look a bit uglier than they should, but I'd be worried about tiny fragments shedding from the edges.

I don't want purple shards of chards randomly raining onto my coins!

The ones I prefer to use are some unbranded ones with a write-on panel, but @ChardsCoinandBullionDealer use branded ones for packing.

I tagged them in for their attention.

Some feedback from our Packing Team:

"We have disscussed and will take this on board so they can have nice shiny bags lol Chris K you're not dans la basment currently so please read above and note not to sellotape the bags where they are already held in place with the bubble wrap - pop down if you have any Qs" 

"On a positive note at least he understands that we use the tape for security purposes!"

Anyone have links for a good place for capsules for RM 10oz bars?

My last 10oz bar purchased came with a sticker covering almost all of the design on the bar, rather spoiling its appearance.
