Digital BW, The Print

I have a upcoming exhibit of my inkjet photographs (done with MIS VM and
Paul's curves) and am I'm working now to get a dozen matted and framed.
However, I've never done a show out of town before and have no experience
with shipping framed prints around the country.  What tricks - ideas, do
people on the list have for packaging framed prints to be shipped?  I'm very
happy that I've been ask to exhibit, but am a bit worried about things
arriving in one piece.  Any opinions - help - feedback would be most
appreciated.  Thanks guys and gals.
