Hey, a search got me nowhere. I've shipped Ts before and know they have to be snug in paper towels to avoid body damage, but is it the same for widows? At the moment I have them packed somewhat snugly with paper towel in their individual vials, but I am wondering if I should undo the work to make sure they are completely surrounded by paper towel bedding.

Any experienced widow-packers want to help? Thanks in advance for any help from anyone.

I shipped out several this Spring. I don't pack them near as tight as I do Ts. I used the small vials like you get small T slings in. Just use some soft tissue and pack "loosely" if you know what I mean ;)

Elizabeth.
The paper towels are fine, however, avoid wet paper towels. Keep them dry.
That's about it.

OK, thanks. That is different from the T packing and I don't know that I would have thought of it...
