I haven't stood in line at the post office in years. I package my order, weigh it on my scale, and use a ruler and the weight to buy my labels from PirateShip.com, print them on avery labels, and then stick them on the package. I can schedule free package pick up from USPS, or take them myself and put them on the drop off counter.

This scale is batter powered or comes with a cord. Easy to use, and the top folds up and out so you can stack stuff and it won't fall off.

I use this box to pack and ship my large orders of stickers and bookmarks. Mostly for wholesale orders when they're ordering dozens of the same design, so it adds up to a lot quickly.

An option I offer with my wholesale is to package each bookmark in a bag so they can hang on a hook. This makes them longer, so I needed longer boxes. And the pink ones are SO cute. Like, they made packing the orders SO much fun in a really unexpecte...

I've been told these don't really do much, but I put them on the backs of my rigid mailers just in case they do. I think custom ones are cute, but don't get the job done. These are bright and easy to read.
