My Baked Goods Keep Getting Crushed in Transit!

[ArnoldThomas]

Hi everyone,

I'm a home baker who loves to share my treats with friends and family across the country. Recently, though, my cookies and cupcakes have been arriving at their destinations looking more like crumbles than confections! I'm pretty sure the culprit is my packaging I've been using regular cardboard boxes but I'm guessing they're not strong enough to withstand the shipping process.

Can anyone recommend the best type of corrugated cardboard boxes to use for shipping baked goods?
Any tips on cushioning or other packing materials would also be greatly appreciated!

Thanks in advance for your help!

Not just the box.... but empty volume inside. Make sure you use enough soft packing material to keep the contents from shifting at all.
