Carolyn did a test after her seed offer was getting bad germination. Something as simple as a paper napkin ( or I use 1 of those 1/2 sheets of paper toweling) works well enough to protect the seeds but doesn't add to the postage. But anything to cushion the seeds helps.

The seed that was sent to Walter i'm sure was inside a folded up A4 which i thought would have been enough,but a paper toweling may have been better,i think any type of paper is fine for just a few seeds but when it comes to sending large amounts i now know that they need to be in what the latest consignment has been sent in,which are the plastic bubble padded envelopes,they are a $ each but worth it if the seed can arrive uncrushed.
