Finding insulated boxes for shipping bettas
Great haul today!
Sometimes finding insulated shipping containers for shipping fish can be really hard. I tend to ship out a lot more fish than I receive, so I'm always running low. You need a box that is insulated with preferably an inch of styrofoam to protect from rapid temperature changes, and then there has to be a sturdy cardboard box on the outside to protect the inner box from damage. Luckily, I work in a research lab that gets a lot of reagents shipped in these boxes!
Occasionally my lab's supply dries up, so I go journeying to surrounding labs to find them. People are surprisingly helpful when you describe what you are looking for. I managed to run into a tissue & organ laboratory that receives a lot of their samples in these perfectly sized containers! They have a strong, molded styrofoam that fits perfectly within a sturdy cardboard box. I think I'm ready for the show season!
