• Fold the costume neatly, ensuring there’s no visible wrinkles in it
• Wrap the costume very carefully in tissue paper after folding it while also placing extra tissue paper around any buttons, zippers or potentially-vulnerable accessories

• Fill in the rest of the box or envelope with packaging material
• Place a shipping label on the box and tape it very securely
