Pack Cookies To Arrive Unbroken

If you’re sending cookies by mail, here are some tips from the Hershey Kitchens for making sure they arrive intact:

Pack cookies or brownies in airtight containers that are unbreakable and sturdy. This will protect both the flavor and appearance of the baked goods.

Pack containers into a box strong enough to protect the containers during handling and shipping.

Cushion contents carefully with crumpled paper (old wrapping paper or newspapers), foam shells or unbuttered, air-popped popcorn.

To prevent items from shifting, do not leave any empty space in the box.

Include the delivery name and address on the inside of the package in case the package is damaged.

Print the address clearly on the outside of the box, on one side only, with smudgeproof ink. Always include the zip code of both the sender and receiver.

Do not use string or twine on your package; it can get tangled in automated mail-processing machinery.
