[Histonet] Shipping Slides

[Richard Cartun]

We put our send-out slides in the "5 slide plastic holders" then place them in "Jiffylite Sealed Air" cushioned mailers (there are different sizes available).  If we are sending out a large quantity of slides we will use FedEx's "Padded Pak", but it will cost more than a FedEx envelope.

Good Morning!

Can anyone tell me the best way that you have found to ship slides by Fed Ex?
I need to send several cases out and want the safest way possible to eliminate broken slides.
We have tried plastic slide boxes with gauze for cushioning and then taped shut and a few other ways. Are there special transport slide containers, other than the 5 slide holders.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

Thank you,
Debbie Granato HT(ASCP)
