Smash it really finely, it will cost you much less for shipping. It will anyways arrive there like that...

What's the best way to package matzah for shipping?

1. Thicker matzos. Shatzer was known to ship thicker matzos all over the US.
2. Make sure the matzos are snug but not smashed in the box. If it's vacuum sealed that's a plus
3. Make sure it's packed in a corrugated cardboard box vs the thin paperboard boxes
4. Pack the individual boxes tight in a master case with bubble wrap/ popcorn on top and bottom

[YitzyS]

If it's vacuum sealed that's a plus

Isn't vacuum sealing matzos just going to make them crack?

[moko]

Isn't vacuum sealing matzos just going to make them crack?

not if they're packed and sealed correctly.
Many bakeries vacuum seal these days. Some even vacuum seal in resealable bags

What do you mean by a master case?

[Alexsei]

What do you mean by a master case?

Master case is a carton in which you place smaller individual cartons, often it is sized exactly to fit multiples of the smaller cartons

Where can I find such a carton for matzos?

Somewhat. How much of the cost is flour and how much is handling/manpower, supplies, shipping, etc? There’s more than enough room for significant inflation even if you exclude the wheat.
