I pack slides in 100-slide plastic boxes, with gauze sponges laid inside the
boxes on top of slide edges to ensure that they don't jiggle around inside
the box. Boxes are taped shut, then packed inside a cardboard box with
plenty of room for packing peanuts or bubble wrap. Never have had a
problem.

Subject: [Histonet] shipping slides, elementary question
Happy Friday everyone,
I have a very basic question about shipping slides (mouse tissue,
non-biohaz). I am planning to ship a bunch to a collaborator, on the order
of a few hundred. I have black hinged cardboard/wood 100-slide boxes,
similar to
https://www.vwrsp.com/catalog/product/index.cgi?catalog_number=48452-001&inE=1&highlight=48452-001
will these be sufficient for shipping (provided I ensure they stay closed
during transit) to avoid breakage? I have slide mailers, but they only
hold a few slides. I will do that if I need to (it would be a whole lot of
packaging and labeling though...), but don't want to just send a giant box
and have them all broken on the other end. Maybe there's another
alternative? I'm sure someone on histonet has done this before :)
Thanks in advance for the advice.
Sincerely,
Nicole Collette
