It does require special folding - and I would not do it if I was running a business - it takes too long to make it fit.
It is worth buying a fairly accurate scale (accurate to 0.1 ounce) if one is planning to do any amount of shipping. I think a decent one can be purchased for less than $30.
Are you talking about a flat-rate envelope for $4.95? I don't see how that much (even half that) could possibly fit in a flat rate envelope. I have stuffed one until it was ripping, then taped it with wide tape to keep it together and closed, and still only got a few yards in. I know they have the larger envelopes, but they charge by weight. How much would 7 or 8 yards cost to mail approx.?
