Suggests packaging for Ski shipments to Iraq

About: Reader suggests organizing Ski shipments to Iraq

To ColumbiaMagazine.com:

If I might make a suggestion : If you do send Ski, or any other canned soft drink, you might want to put each can in a Ziplock plastic bag. The boxes get bounced around quite a bit between here and there and it only takes one tiny hole in a can to cover the contents of the box.

That can potentially soften the box and possibly cause it to tear. Not only that, but we found out the hard way that humans are not the only creatures fond of Ski. I failed to put a can in a plastic bag and that package arrived in Iraq full of ants!

I found that the sandwich size Zip bags work nicely for this purpose and the Glad brand it just slightly larger, so it's a little easier to get the cans in.
