Article about Magazine packaging
'''Magazine packaging''' is the technique of preparing and protecting printed [[magazine]]s for mailing or shipment. Most magazines these days are mailed in a [[polypropylene]] or [[polyethylene]] wrapper. There are more environmentally-friendly alternatives, though.[[Image:Stack_of_newspaper.jpg|right|thumb|200px|An example of publications that were delivered by mail]]
''<blockquote>"The first and most obvious alternative to polythene is paper envelopes. Unfortunately (for paper and envelope manufacturers at least) mailing subscription copies and packaging newsstand copies (particularly promoted issues), in a paper envelope is probably the least practical solution available and almost certainly the most expensive. There are a very small number of mailing houses out there who do have wrapping machines capable of mechanically packaging a magazine in a paper outer, but sadly the cost of the paper combined with the cost of the physical wrapping makes this option totally impractical and unaffordable for probably every publisher currently trading..." <ref>[http://www.inpublishing.co.uk/kb/articles/polywrapping_the_eco_options.aspx Polywrapping – the eco options], Inpublishing.co.uk, November 2007.</ref></blockquote>''
However, for someone just shipping a used magazine to a buyer on eBay, for example, then sandwiching the magazine between a pair of thin cardboard or card-stock paper and sticking it in a long envelope should be sufficient.
