mailing a cutting mat
I have a friend that I would like to mail my small 12x18 cutting mat to. I know these are suspectible to temperatures, both hot and cold.
If you have purchased one on-line, did it arrive ok?
If you have mailed one, what is the best way to do that?
Thanks!

I would cut two heavy pieces of card board the same dimensions, or 1/4 inch bigger on all sides. Then sandwich the mat inbetween .. tape the perimeter ...enclosing the mat. Then mail it. There is some flexibility in a mat, and the cardboard ( heavy corigated) will protect it.

I'd use white foam-core board from the office supply store. Make a pocket from two layers of board, tape the edges well, apply your mailing label and ship. In fact this is how I store mine and take them to classes/workshops. The 'pockets' can be made any size and I even slip my long rulers down in them for transit.
