Teach Soap

Are there any special concerns when it comes to packing up soap that's had less than four weeks to cure? I'm making soap for a wedding gift, and if I don't get it made in the next couple days it will only have cured for 2-3 weeks when I pack for that trip (It'll have time to cure once I arrive, before I actually give it).

I assume after three weeks the soap probably won't be losing enough moisture over the course of an 8-10 hour travel day for me to worry about, but I bet someone here knows better than I do so I can stop assuming! Any tips?

Mine still shrink a little bit after 2-3 weeks. I use soap boxes now as shrink wrap or cigar bands become loose after a time and can slide off.

So if I understand your question correctly, you are "travel" packing, not "gift" packing.
I've done that as well - packing soap to take to my parents that had not had it's full 4-6 weeks yet.
I packed it in cardboard boxes, with styrofoam peanuts sprinkled in between. It cushioned them and allowed for a bit of air circulation so that they did not end up slick.

I have found, however, that when I fly with a quantity of soap in my carry-on bag, they always pull me aside to look at it. They said it "looks odd" under x ray.
