Aside from the fact the person shipped a comic in between two very thin pieces of cardboard…
They did not secured the comic inbetween the cardboard and it slid around in the oversized bag.
So imagine my surprise as I’m cutting the envelope a fair distance away from the cardboard, only to find a corner of the comic sticking out right where my scissors just were!
I’m not sure how how I missed cutting the comic…but I cut the bag and the corner of the book was right along that edge…literally the blade brushed up against the book, but did not damage it.
And this person had all sorts of positive reviews on how well and secure he shipped his books. Need to leave some feedback. The reviews were so misleading.
You’re asking for spine ticks if the comic shifts…or when the tape gets removed because you have to put pressure down n the area to get the tape off. Or if you must, make the tape long enough so that pressure to start picking away at the tape is placed away from the spines
Also…I know most like painters tape…but damn it’s a bitxh to get off of mylar….for some reason it sticks a lot more than basic scotch tape. It’s brutal trying to lift it up as it is…much less near an edge…
I fold over the ends of any tape used inside the package. It makes little tabs to pull on instead. I can recount dozens of books being secured with painters tape that broke the tape and allowed books to shift around and be damaged. So not a fan of painters tape.
I’ll tape books in three places along a piece of cardboard. Top, bottom, and along the free edge. That’s all you need.
Pull tabs help. I’ve not had any issues with painters tape except for mylar/mylites. For some reasons the glue really likes to bond to that material type.
