I would obtain a box where my pieces would lay flat if mailing to just one person.If mailing out individual blocks to each person I would fold it in quarters and include a note to please iron out creases before signing or fold it to where the signature area stayed flat. I would be sure to mail everything in baggies with a mailing address in it JIC.
I did have one class that signed ON the freezer paper when I did this. I ended up rigging a lightbox and tracing their names onto the correct side as I picked up the blocks on the last day of school. May need to write "sign other side" on the freezer paper just to be sure...
