Messages and Powders

I had an interesting question about adding messages to the packages, and also about using powders as a packing material. There's nothing wrong with powders other than the fact that they add a ton of mass. You might want to add a note telling the school what the powder is. In these troubled times it doesn't hurt to be more careful. Last year we received some packages that were packed in a strange green powder. The packer had crushed the material that flowers are impaled in. When reduced to a powder, this stuff really looks strange.

Also, be careful of what you say in the messages. I'd limit them to what packing material was used, or if there are any unique methods students should use to open the remainder of the package. Don't say anything that could be misinterpreted!
