I have more cardboard than I can use. I went with these bubble mailers because I only had a couple of oz if I wanted to keep it a 12ozer. I checked using cardboard and I would have had to ship it for 1#. It's also not like this toy is delicate. It is well protected and still weighs 12oz.
Just use a box sourced for free from a local store. Way faster to pack and it will actually protect your item.
