I have received CP's in very good health that were sandwiched between
damp Sphagnum, put into a plastic bag and packaged in a diskette box.

Another way that worked well is to take some kitchen roll paper, put the
seedlings with their roots between the sheets, put it into a plastic bag
and add some rain water. Seal the bag, including some air. Put all the
bags in one plastic bag and seal that one too, including some air, so it
fits nicely in a box. The air will provide the plants with protection
against shocks and insulate them.

Kind regards
Wim
