mailing bread

I ship Christmas boxes from MI to AK. Last year, I sent nut bread, mince tarts, and cookies. They all arrived just fine.

Let the bread cool _completely_. Wrap it in plastic wrap. Wrap it again in foil.

For box size, there are two options. Use a box *just* big enough that the bread will fit and not bounce around. The other option is a bigger box, with the bread well padded (use sheets of bubble wrap or packing foam). Pack the box carefully so that the bread will not bounce around. (this is actually the hardest part -- it's a 3D puzzle.)

Hi: I regularly send bread to my family. I pack the bread in heavy plastic (not shopping bags) and send it by priority mail. It always arrives within 3 days and is in good condition. Your banana bread should have a long shelf life.
