Snare Beds
Snare beds are the shallow, gradual relief cuts in the bottom bearing edge of a snare drum shell, at the area where the snare wire straps cross the bearing edge to meet the throwoff and butt end. When tightened, the drum head will follow the snare bed contour, allowing the snare wires to make contact with the head in the center of the shell diameter.
The picture below shows a snare bed on the bottom edge of the drum shell.

To send shells, pack them carefully using crumpled newspapers or packing materials to cushion shells. Nest shells, one inside the other (where possible) using newspapers or cardboard between shells. As a result, the shipping box will be as small as possible.
