Realized the same thing two years ago when a client pointed out my weaves were chunkier than her last stylist's. I felt so dumb after all that time. It's crazy how you can get stuck in a routine and not question it. That mannequin test is a smart move, might have to steal that idea. Good on you for catching it though, most people never do.

I can second The Boxery. I like that their kraft bubble mailers are cushioned enough for ceramic and small glass items I sell. I started with a case to test fit, then reordered because the material held up during transit. Also their free shipping on mailers saved me a bit on smaller orders.

Wait, those never really went away for installs.
