I have over a decade of experience at shipping commercially worldwide so this is what I can add… You can protect them from outside impact but the issue is internal. (It’s a physics thing) If they are even somewhat hollow, the shell itself is subject to caving in from the force of being dropped or flung as some packages are, even if nothing actually touches them. 1) Stuff them as full as you can for greater internal tension. 2) Make the shells you will be shipping just a tad bit thicker. 3) Consider wrapping individually. 4) Use FRAGILE stickers on the box; it’s not a guarantee, but it will help. I’m planning on shipping some bombs to family this Xmas so this post was helpful in thinking it through and getting stuff prepared. Thx so much!

What I did was wrapped them individually in like the small foil and packaged it just like you did and it . And like you said stuffed the boxed on both sides and put it in the middle or a box that fits and it turned out great . I did the wrapped just in case it broke it would be in the foil not every where else

If you individually wrap then with sandwiche bag. Then put in plastic cupcake hold. That way if one does break it will not get all over the rest of the bombs. Just a thought

I individually double wrapped my Bombs in plastic wrap and placed them in a box with crinkle packing paper.

You could use a Food Saver shrink wrapper to wrap them individually. Leave just enough air so that they don't get crushed. Then, fill the box with foam peanuts. Or cellophane bags cut down and each individual one sealed with a decorative sticker.

Putting padding on the top and bottom would have helped like you said and also putting each bomb in is own individual treat bag would have helped too. This way if one breaks, it’s contents would have been contained.

Do you think maybe wrapping each one in Saran Wrap or cello bag then placing in cupcake holder would be safer? Because I plan on shipping to friends n fam. Trying to figure out my plans.

If you don’t ship you bombs how do you get them to people who buy them? Might I add that it would be a good idea to individually wrap each bomb so that if one breaks the contents stay in the packaging it is in and not all over the rest. Also, you didn’t take into account for the weather. If it’s hot where you are sending them, they will MELT 🥵 Which is a whole other problem 🤔 I know this because I have done this before. I find that if it’s packaged with dry ice it keeps them from melting and the dry ice evaporates as it melts. So there is a tip for your viewers on shipping anything perishable. Thank you for going through all of this to show the process, Great video 😁👍

Where do I buy the stickers for the bomb directions? Thanks!

Only two choices seem clear, 1) keep them cold, w/dry ice, etc 2) create a chocolate with a much higher melting point. If you go with ice, seal carefully to manage condensation. Raising the melting point will CHANGE the consumption experience. (I don't know the exact techniques)
