Hi all. Packed up 4 bottles for my first ever competition and wanted anyone's opinion on whether my pack job was too much. I borrowed a lot of ideas from several places but what I did was:
a double reinforced box lined with a trashbag. Foam egg crate in the bottom sectioned with cardboard dividers. Bottles (with labels in ziplocs banded around bottles ) rolled in a layer of bubble wrap and secured with 1 small piece of tape. Newspaper stuffed around the bottles but with the tops showing. then I closed the trash bag and rubber banded it in such a way that it was easy to undo. then foam egg crate on top with a layer of cardboard over that. then taped her shut. there's about 3-4 inches of space (packed) all around.
Those unpacking should be able to get into these bottles pretty easily.
Did I go overboard?
