Some shippers have packaging recommendations and/or requirements.

You should check with the shipper to see if they have specific requirements, i.e., water resistant corrugated (double or triple) primary container with an inner polystyrene container. Bags should be at least 4 ml thickness, multiple bagged, filled with 1/3 water and the remainder oxygen. Bags should be sealed with rubber bands or heat-sealed.

Although many use 3 ml bags and multiple bag(3 to 6 bags).

Lately the fish I have been getting in are a little low on water due to the fish poking holes in them...I would think that if you triple bagged and put a layer of newspaped inbetween each bag,maybe that would help keep the bag intact..Or someone come up with the NEW heavy duty carbon fiber bag ;D :- ;D
