Does anyone have a source for blank stuffer cards for inserting into covers? We had been getting them from Washington Press but they announced that they were closing their business at the end of the year. We tried to place a quick order but they seem to not be answering their phone and assume that they are already out of business. Thank you for any suggestions! |

If you want to do it "on the cheap," the green USPS certified mail return receipt cards, with one peel-off sticker end removed, work nicely for any regular-size envelope/cover. Just sayin'.  |

Thanks John and I do have thousands of unused shuttle insert cards if you don't mind the printing on one side of the stuffer cards. Also got some white inserts with no printing, however, I must have multi-thousands extras of all my shuttle mission emblem cover insert cards and tons more of our ISS cards and two types of space station cachet covers as well that are in mint condition. How many do you need of the blank cards, Eddie? |

I would prefer blank stuffer cards and was hoping not to have to cut them myself. My dad is going to check with a local print shop to see if they could help. Ken, I am looking to pick up several hundred and maybe up to 1000 blank stuffer cards so that we could use them for many years to come. For the shuttle mission ones that you use, where did you get the sized card stock from? Could they possibly supply me with the blank stuffer cards I need? |

Yes, I can, Eddie. But check with your local printer in your area first. My printers can provide any number of white cards needed, but I would have to check with them for a price on the quantities needed. But since no printing on them is required, it would not be that much of a cost at all. |
