Delivering Prints to Client

[brademac]

Ok, maybe this is a really stupid question. You guys who do senior portraits, engagement shoots and/or weddings, how do you package the prints that you deliver to your clients? I'm not talking about albums, just loose prints - 5x7's, 8x10's, wallets, etc. I am mostly interested in packaging for prints that are hand delivered, not mailed.

Do you package in plastic sacks of some sort, a paper envelope, etc? Back in the day when I got my senior pictures all of the wallet sized prints were in a nifty little paper/cardboard box just larger than the dimensions of the prints. I'm having trouble finding anything like that locally.

Please share what you use and where you get them, and anything else you do to protect the prints. Thank you all in advance!

I package mine in a gift box with acid free tissue paper around the prints.

During the consultation period, we talk about prints.

I let the client decide on how they want their prints. Eg if they want the prints themselves or would they like it printed as part of a book.

If they want just prints, I will aim to hand deliver them if they are local and usually in a tissue padded box.
