<div>According to DOT (domestic shipping) and IATA (international shipping) you are prohibited from shipping specimens in ethanol that have more than 30ml of fluid per internal container (jar) and 500ml total. This would probably limit the size of jars that
you could use for exhibition. I would suggest that you ship the specimens and glassware separately. The specimens can be wrapped in ethanol soaked cheesecloth and glassware can then be filled with ethanol on site. This will also allow you to use a wider
range of glassware. We have had great results for our collections from Kols Containers glassware and lids which are alcohol resistant and have a fantastic seal. The various sizes that we order all have fairly large openings.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I would be happy to send you information both on shipping regulations and the glassware we use if necessary.</div>

<div style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13.333333969116211px">I am searching for glass jars to house/display wet specimens that are suitable for shipping. The challenge is that I need jars with a mouth at least 6" D x 10" H (or larger) and 4" D
x 14" H (or larger). I have already exhausted Fisher Scientific's resources. </div>

<div style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13.333333969116211px">Pressure fit jars have been suggested, but I am concerned about risks during shipping and potential air expansion at high altitude venues. Does anyone have experience shipping pressure
fit glass containers?</div>
