How do you pack and send one card?

Who me???

If you keep the thickness less than a quarter of an inch and make entire envelope rigid and add 20 or 21 cents postage and specify hand stamping, a single card will ship safely for about 75 cents.

The card in a card saver taped to cardboard the size of the envelope works fine. Alternatively the card may be placed in a top loader. A card board "gasket" the size of the envelope can then be made so that the top loader fits into the cardboard gasket and then secure it with tape.

Either way the entire envelope is rigid and flat a less than 1/4 of an inch thick and the package will not go through a shredder.

If you are confused, I would be happy to sell you a card so that you can see for yourself.
