Dumb question:
What are those orange rings inside the coin flips? Are the flips nickel size? I have a pile of seeds about ready to drop and would like to pack them up cleanly. I usually use small ziplocks but like how the flips store and mail.

Quarter size flips.

The rings are hose washers (the ones I get are black.) My flips are assorted window sizes and they’re all fine.
It’s really the best way I think although some prefer pucks.

Pucks preserve the seeds better, the method of small paper square with a washer and some tape is kinda dangerous for them in my opinion.
If I were selling or shipping a lot of seeds I would buy some pucks from china or any other hard cased shell of some sort

Disagree but that’s ok.

I think pucks would be better if they were a bit thinner, but I haven’t lost one in the mail yet.

If being the big word there.
I’ve seen pucks blasted out of the envelope by rollers.
But everyone has their own ways.

The pucks Ive seen are thicker than the allowable standard USPS envelope, that’s the main reason I chose flips and rubber washers.
But if I were selling seeds as a business, instead of casually and occasionally trading/gifting some, I would choose pucks or plastic vials, and use bubble mailers instead of envelopes.

They aren’t making them right if the final envelope is over a 1/4 inch.

Not even close, but it certainly is thicker than a standard letter.

There is some truth to this.
As a hobbyist being able to send via letter mail for $1 is a huge bonus.
As a seed bank I would charge you for shipping so it wouldn’t matter.

I also got a lot of paper squares with a washer and no problem so far, with today’s mail you can’t know, rather safe than sorry.
But indeed I agree the pucks should be thinner.
