I try and stick the in a small piece of cardboard and then is a little zip lock that tying supplies come in. I put a little air in it, just to keep the flies from being crushed. Don't know how they arrive, I guess I should try and mail some to myself some time. I guess your asking about the stamp, never had flies come back and I've sent up to twenty, not in what I just described though, the twenty were loose.

That's how Icky Flyworks operates. They stick them in transparent little boxes w/ foam strips, and send them in one of those bubble-wrap lined envelopes.
