Hi,

Cricklewood seem to manage to use Jiffy bags.

I once ordered 10x Zip disks (in brittle cases) from Aria, bit of a disaster as they were sent loose in an oversized thin plastic envelope with no protection at all!

What I got was a machine crinkled, almost card, that was similar to crepe paper in style but much tougher. It was then wrapped around the metal part and was very secure. It couldn't move about and cause any damage.
