Shipping Flies

[normac]

What do you guys ship your flies in? I have an Altoid tin but I was wondering how you would go about in shipping it. In a standard envelope? a larger envelope? a box? Manilla Envelope?

An altoid tin in a small padded manila envelope works great. I also use old hook packages, or small foodservice cups. Anything to protect those precious hackles.............

bigger is better, you will get larger flies back.

Altoid is the smallest I would recommend. You can buy a cheap plastic box for a couple bucks and call it good.

At the Roberts craft store in the Brickyard, they have plastic boxes with different compartments for $1. The boxes are pretty big, but if you're doing any large swaps they're great.
