If you package the slides back-to-back in that box, they will stay more secure.

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,
