There’s been some interest in the little clone shipper
I made so I figured I’d go ahead and do the write up.
There’s plenty of ways to skin this cat, this is just mine. 
I’ll start with the materials list.

Ok! Let’s do this. 
Step one: Drink the water. It’s good for you! Here’s some work in progress. 
Step two: remove label and clean bottle. The label glue sucks. The best thing I’ve found so far to remove it is good ole mineral spirits. Use whatever works well for you.
Now that you have a clean bottle to work with you need to cut it in two. I’m using Rapid Rooter plugs and generally ship in soil so I need enough space to leave room at the top for the collar to sit down flush or close to it. 2 1/2 - 3 inches from the bottom of the bottle is usually a good number for me. I won’t tell ya how to go about cutting the bottle. That’s on you. Don’t blame me! 
BE CAREFUL!! 
Step three: cut the bottle
Step four: shaping the rim of lower portion with a heat gun (a hair dryer may work as well. I have no hair so don’t have one.) to hold clone collar securely.
Fill bottom portion of shipper with water until clone collar floats even with the top.
Use heat to shrink bottle rim to squeeze collar. Move quickly and rotate bottle while heating. The water gives you a buffer as not to mis shape too much but it happens quickly and this is the part where a bottle can be ruined.
This process also allows the top to be slid over the bottom without bending everything out of shape. The fit should be snug.
If the shaping went as desired the fit should be pretty water tight. That is until ya give it a squeeze!
Step five: make the light hanger
Make a loop of plant tie wire inside bottle cap with a leg bent to center of cap then bend a 90 down and make a little hook for the light to attach.
It should look something like the above pics.
Then just pop it in the cap and you’re good to go!
That’s pretty much it! Put clone in bottom and secure with a collar that now squeezes into the rim. As an added safety measure I put a couple strips of tape over the collar as well. Just to make sure it can’t be dislodged during rough shipping. When the top goes on the collar can’t move.
Slide top over until it overlaps about a half inch. Wrap the seam with packing tape, turn the light on and screw the bottle cap on. And BAM!! You’re ready to box and ship!
Please feel free to make any adjustments or changes that suit your needs. These have been shipping 2 day ground and arriving in great shape!
With soil the package weighs around half a pound. You’re stuck at 1 pound billable weight which brings total shipping cost for me so far to $12.98.
More gratuitous pics!
I hope this helps anyone interested in my little side project. As stated there are many shipping solutions out there. I just wanted one of my own. 
It’s a pretty simple process but please feel free to reach out with any questions.
Have a great day OG! 
As far as ordering from a company I suppose it’s a measured risk on the receivers end. I’m certainly not telling anybody what’s in the box regardless of legality. 
this is amazing though. Thank you for sharing
