How to keep cookies from breaking in the mail
The eternal struggle of shipping cookies without them breaking! Here are some tips to help you keep your cookies intact during transit:
- Choose the right packaging: Use a sturdy, corrugated cardboard box or a specialized cookie box with dividers to prevent cookies from moving around and breaking.
- Wrap each cookie individually: Wrap each cookie in plastic wrap, wax paper, or parchment paper to prevent them from touching and breaking. You can also use cookie wrappers or bags.
- Use bubble wrap or packing peanuts: Place bubble wrap or packing peanuts between the cookies to cushion them and prevent them from moving around.
- Seal the box securely: Close the box and seal it with packing tape to prevent cookies from shifting during transit.
- Use a cold pack or ice pack: If you're shipping cookies that are sensitive to temperature, consider using a cold pack or ice pack to keep them cool and prevent melting or breaking.
- Avoid shipping during extreme weather: Try to avoid shipping cookies during extreme weather conditions, such as heavy rain, snow, or high temperatures, which can cause cookies to break or become damaged.
- Use a tracking number: Use a tracking number to monitor the package's progress and ensure it arrives safely.
- Consider using a cookie shipping service: If you're shipping a large quantity of cookies or need specialized shipping services, consider using a cookie shipping service that can handle fragile and perishable items.
- Pack cookies in a single layer: When packing cookies in a box, place them in a single layer to prevent them from breaking or becoming damaged.
- Use a cookie box with a lid: Use a cookie box with a lid to keep cookies fresh and prevent them from breaking during transit.
