Hi Sabina! Thank you so much for sharing this video! I am trying to start my own business now and this video was SOOOOOO helpful! I had a question about your triangle tube--could you clarify what the dimensions are for the one you are using? Also when you roll up the 16x20 print in the clear sleeve, do you just tape it to keep it rolled? Thank you!!

[@tayladebeer]

Sabina! It's so refreshing to see someone give so much attention to detail when it comes to sustainable packaging. Even with all that, your packaging is beautiful and simple, love it 😀

[@sabinafennart]

Thank you so much!! It’s been a top priority of mine since I decided to sell prints! I’m glad it’s important to others too🥰

Sabina thank you so much for giving me other ideas to help our planet. I always try to do things with that extra thought of our environment. I like your art too.

I have been boiling my head with beautiful ideas and your videos are helping me to take out to do lists, how to deliver, why make it myself.... Thank you so much for sharing your experience with us ❤

[@Annieeebewitch]

Hi Sabina! Love your videos! Where do you get your backing boards? ✨

[@sabinafennart]

thank you!! I get them from clearbags :)

[@heathergeiger1102]

Beautiful packaging! This info is really helpful as I’m doing my own research on packaging materials. Where do you buy your water based custom packing tape?

[@sabinafennart]

I buy it from sticker mule! :)

[@crafteariee]

Thank you so much for these tips! Recently I fell in love with watching so many videos of cute people "making the most of what they have", that nothing they use or accumulate goes into waste by repurposing what they already have into something better which is great! I plan on opening a small shop sometime in the near future so these tips are great, thank you so much!

[@sabinafennart]

thank you! I'm so glad there are like-minded people out there :) Xx

[@danikawright539]

Thank you for sharing! Where do you get the "plastic" sleeves

[@sabinafennart]

I get them from clearbags :)

[@jenniferkoistinen1159]

Thanks for sharing how you package your orders! So important for us all to go as eco friendly as possible :-) What size are the triangle tube mailers? I also use the eco bags from clear bags, love them! I haven't tried to roll them yet. Do they roll ok, or do you use a different kind of clear sleeve for your larger prints? Thanks in advance for your input! Happy New Year!

[@sabinafennart]

thank you!! I get them from thepackagingcompany.com :) yes they roll just fine for me!

[@shirazijessica6067]

How can I seal my art prints to protect the color, I love the video

[@sholae8860]

Great video! What about packaging originals- can one do this without plastic e.g. bubble wrap?

[@designedindelight6123]

Hi Sabina! Thanks for sharing all of this information! I am looking to get away from packing tape for my packaging - can you share where you get your tape from? Is it also eco-friendly?? :)

[@unruhlyartist]

what size mailers do you order typically for the size prints you sell? I'm just starting out and I'm not sure what size to order. I'm going to be offering 4x6, 6x6, 8x10 and 11x14. Thank you! Love your video and love the care for the environment! It's also what I'm planning with my art business

[@sabinafennart]

I do 5x7, 8x10 and 11x14 in mailers, the sizes I buy are 9x11, 12x15 and 6x8 :) Xx

[@rosieport3597]

It would be really helpful for the people watching this video who also want to HELP THE PLANET if you shared the links to these products

[@sabinafennart]

I didn’t leave links because I live in Canada and most of our products aren’t available in the US. I mentioned where I buy mostly everything in the video and I make an effort to buy from local stores rather than amazon. If you need help finding a certain product feel free to let me know your location and I’ll gladly make some suggestions :)

[@Bella-cr2zl]

Where did you get your stamp with your logo on it?

[@sabinafennart]

there's lots of websites that make custom stamps but I think I got this one from thestampmaker.com :)

[@AidaCampos-hf1cn]

Where do you get your stamps made? :) And how do you prevent the larger prints from creasing when you have them in the tubes?:)

[@sabinafennart]

I get them from any stamp company! I think this one was a random one like thestampmaker.com The larger prints are rolled so they don't crease! you have to kinda learn how to roll them properly so they don't get damaged as you're doing so

[@iwonasobieraj8105]

Hello :)What kind of paper do you print your artworks?

[@sabinafennart]

I will make a video on this topic but I use epson matte paper :)

[@MarilynMorejon]

Where do you get the clear sleeves? I’m in the US. Thank you!

[@sabinafennart]

clearbags :)
