How much postage for a 6x9 bubble mailer

No, a 6x9 envelope of any construction is too small to be a flat aka large envelope. HOwever, an envelope that is actually 6.5 inches wide would qualify as a flat aka large envelope as long as it is NOT RIGID.  If there's any rigid item inside the envelope -- cardboard, metal, plastic, etc. -- it is a PARCEL, not a large envelope aka flat. A "large envelope" aka flat must be at least 6-1/8 inches WIDE (short dimension) OR at least 11.5 inches LONG (long dimension).  Either one or the other, not necessarily both. For example, a 7 x 10 inch envelope would qualify because 7 inches is greater than 6-1/8 inches.  So would an envelope measuring 8.5 x 11 inches -- because the WIDTH exceeds 6-1/8 inches.  The maximum size of a flat is 12 x 15 inches. Additional requirements for a flat are that it be flexible, not rigid, and with a uniform thickness up to 3/4 inch.  Not lumpy or containing rigid items.  Maximum weight of 13 oz. Think of a flat as a "floppy envelope" containing a sheaf of paper or perhaps a thin catalog.  It can be rolled, folded, creased and bent. This chart (at the end of Notice 123, illustrates and specifies the characteristics of letters, flats and parcels: https://pe.usps.com/text/dmm300/Notice123.htm#_c227 A 6x9 rigid envelope would be a non-machinable letter as long as it is NOT LUMPY, no more than 1/4 inch thick and weighs a maximum of 3.5 oz.  If it exceeds 3.5 oz. or 1/4 inch thickness,  it would be a parcel aka package. ~~C~~

How much postage for a 6x9 bubble mailer

Shipping with USPS. I looked it up on their website, but they're giving me Priority Mail postage, $3.85 to ship. I just want to ship it like regular mail. I'm pretty sure I can just stick some stamps on here and throw it in the mailbox, but I don't know how many.

Can anyone give me some insight on how many stamps I'll need? I don't want to stick too many, but I don't want it coming back to me either. I'm shipping from work rather than home.

TIA

EDIT: Sorry guys, I am retarded for forgetting this info. It's a single DVD in a plastic sleeve, nothing more, nothing less.

Easy. 37 cents for the first ounce and 23 cents for every ounce thereafter.

if you don't have a scale, 3 stamps to be safe will do it for sure, most likely 2 will be fine. if you don't mark it, it will go first class. media mail is only good for heavy books because it is really slow.
