Pizza boxes can work -- especially for 48 x 48.
Regular 32 x 32 plates fit nicely in Priority Mail box # 1097 and work great
if additional Lego parts are in the same order.
The cheapest way to ship baseplates is to cut down some other corrugated cardboard
box and make your own flat but un-bendable package.
Baseplates need protection from being bent or damaged at the corners -- they
don't really need padding, such as a bubble mailer. If you have a large enough
bubble mailer, then go ahead and use it, but add some cardboard to prevent bending
in transit.

I once ordered baseplates AND a bunch of other parts (support girders and 2x8
bricks) thinking that the seller would be smart enough to lay them out FLAT along
the backside of the baseplates -- I even informed the seller that was why
I spent extra money and purchased the other parts and to please package that
way.
NOPE -- the seller was an idiot and packed the parts in a big lump and used
an oversized Kraft paper envelope. Thankfully, it was a local order (PA to NY)
and everything arrived okay but it could have been a disaster if the envelope
had failed or been subject to rough handling.
