If I pack it upright in a snug box and then double box it, I'll need too high of a box and that'll cost too much. If I lay it on it's side, it can leak. Please help. Thank you.

The only kind of globe I know of that can leak is a flip top bar full of boozahol.

snow globes
Snowglobes are snowglobes unless they are waterballs or glitterdomes and are never just globes

The OP has a couple of SNOW GLOBES listed so it is a fairly safe assumption that the OP meanst SNOW GLOBES when he writes globes.

Your opinion that snow globes are never just globes does not seem to be as universal as you claim.

YouTube could be a very good friend for packing the globes!

Other posters have provided an array of good information. Make a decision on packaging size and weight and let the customer pay the price.

Good Luck

Something that one could do IF one is worried about leakage - add something as "secondary containment!"

By this I mean, one might want to make sure that one of the inner packagings is a freezer style zip-lock baggie that is also tapged closed. That way, if the item were to leak, it would be "conatined" in the baggie. [and not seep through packaging material to the box & outside.] Then after some more bubble wrap, another baggie, kitchen trash bag, etc.

I would think that avoiding leaks during shipping is key, as once it leaks, it could be a world of hurt depending on how the shipper handles potentially hazardous materials or items that "become" the definition of hazardous waste once contaminated. My guess is no one wants to experience that.
