 Bottled liquids such as homemade beverages and sauces must be properly sealed to ensure that they don't leak during the shipping process. Glass bottles are good containers for shipping liquids. However, they are heavier and can break if not properly packed. If you are shipping homemade stuff but do not have the equipment to professionally seal bottles, here are some tips on how to do it.
Make sure the caps or lids on the bottles are tight and secured. As an added precaution, wrap plastic cling wrap on the cap/lid and neck area of the bottle. Use packaging tape to secure the plastic wrap in place.
To protect the bottle, wrap it entirely with layers of bubble wrap. This will provide cushion to prevent glass bottles from breaking during movement.
