    Constructing a better packing method for glass E.Coli

    Hi all,
    We currently have on display a glass piece by Luke Jerram, E.Coli.
    In preparation for this show closing in a few weeks, I'd like to ship it off better than we received it. It came to us with the main body wrapped in glassine and then in a box full of loose packing peanuts. The glassine was pierced in several places by the tendrils, making it very difficult to get it off the piece. (images attached)

    Any ideas out there for a better way to pack it?

    The tail at the end removes and ships separately. The dimensions are roughly 12" high, 22" long, and 12" wide.

    Started thinking of a way to have arms supporting the central glass "bubble," but that was getting complicated. The simplest method that might work could be to simply pack it the same way it arrived, but with bags of packing peanuts. Would just need a tougher material than plastic bags to avoid being punctured by the tendrils.

    Any help is appreciated.
    Thank you!
    -Trent
