Default Shipping plants methods?

Hi I'm wondering what the best possible way to package these stem plants for shipping would be: stargrass, bacopa australis, ludwigia arcuata (some have roots, some are clippings). They are going 3-5 day service.

I was going to put them in a freezer zip-lock bag with a small amount of water from the tank. Double bag that, put them in a small box and stuff box with newspaper. Dumb question: would it be wise to put some air in the bag carrying the plants? Also I've tried putting the plants in the bag with a wet paper towel, but it didn't work to well.

Any suggestions appreciated.

Thanks
