Definitely need to ship pollen with something that will absorb
moisture...otherwise mold will grow within a day or two. You could use
cotton, paper, rice, anything. I like to use the dessicant packs that come
when I buy new shoes. :)
As for packages....I've used 35mm film canisters and very small ziploc
baggies, with equal success.
Good luck!
