Restoration of Packaging (creases/blister damage)

[Rabid Heat]

This may seem like an odd topic that I hope I am posting in the right board (I assume so, as it would be a form of customization!), but is there anyone on this board that knows anything about packaging restoration, i.e. getting creases out of carding and smoothing over white cracks in the blister? If there is such a thing, I am a complete novice to it.

I just arrived back from the States to the UK and two of my products I brought back have been damaged by whoever checked my cases at the airport, in the following ways:

CS Animals 3-Pack (top of the carding bent forwards. I bent it back in place which left a crease) - can't just take this back to the store and swap it as we don't have WalMarts.

TRU.com RVD Exclusive - something in my case poked the outside of the bubble and left a small white crease in the plastic, a tiny hole and pushed the carding somewhat inward.

This might not seem like a big deal to many people, but everything I have in my collection (from you can see from my sig is a lot) is Mint on MINT Card, as I've always strived to purchase from the best sellers who accomodate me in this way, so these two items being damaged REALLY bothers me!

Thank you very much in advance to anyone gracious enough to help me on this matter,

I don't know of any way to restore the bubble, but I do have a few tricks when it comes to the carding.

If the carding is seperated at the edges because of rolling or bending, then this little deal works: get a glue stick and put a little bit of the glue on one edge of a scalpel (or really small, thin knife) . . . . then, use the blade to get a bit of glue between the cardboard seperations . . . then, place the carding down flat with a heavy object (God help me, all I had that worked was a peanut butter jar) for a day or so and it will flatten right out and be sealed back up. The same notion would work if the bubble was lifting up from the carding, all except for resting something heavy on top, I would imagine.

Hope this helped in some way, or was at least understandable.
