Biking Rules Green Submission Mail-In Details

We encourage artists to help us reduce waste and shipping cost using the following guidelines:

• Package discs in a paper slip case, not a hard plastic case
• Ship in a stiff cardboard or other recyclable mailer with no bubble wrap
• Print "Do Not Bend" on the front of envelope

*If you require the submission disc back please include a pre-paid recyclable mailer to your return address

Be sure to not send CDs or DVDs unprotected in any type of packaging! They need a fitted paper slip case to prevent scratching.
