ambition got the better of me here is what I could do tonight.

1. The box as it comes from USPS


2. Folded the box and taped the bottom. I seal the whole bottom with tape so that there is no cracks left.

3. Cut styro to fix into box. Make sure that it fits tight.

4. The styro comes in sheets like this and it does make a mess to cut with a razor blade.

5. Taped the heat pack to the styro lid that I made. I use the 72 hour heat packs they dont get as hot I feel this makes for less chance of a heat spike as can happen with the 8hr packs.

6. The bags that I use are your regular plastic bags for shipping. I double bag and then put all the bags in another bag full of air to help insulate.


This is as far as I could go tonight since I can't ship out till the morning. I will take the rest of the pictures when I am putting the frags in the bags and finishing packing the box.
