USPS has a small cardboard carton that ships for a flat fee regardless of weight. If I recall correctly, Mr. BlueJay32 stuffed the original "traveling opener" into such a box and sent it to me.
The carton was about 5" x 7" x 2" thick, (or thereabouts) and was quite substantial, and adequate for the job... and it shipped quite reasonably.
Just a suggestion... I'm pretty sure I just resent the one that Chaplian sent me.  I like how I sent it to NY from the Chicago area, and then you sent it back to the Chicago area.

And I took it to Sioux Falls for a week's visit with our grandkids, along with some serious time at Falls Park, then on through the Iowa 80 Truck Stop on the way back home... I forgot who I sent it to afterwards... that was a couple of years ago...  WAIT! I think I gave it to Mr. CrownBen! I remember meeting with him at the Clinic's parking lot and we jabbered for a little while before my doctor's appointment... As you were... Carry on... Yes you did, and yes we did. Then I took it on a siteseeing tour in Milwaukee. I thought the format of the traveling keychain was just fine. It was neat to see what little thing everybody added to it- and the various bottlecaps. People I explained it too thought it was cool too. USPS has a small cardboard carton that ships for a flat fee regardless of weight.

Just a suggestion... That box did work quite well. I re-used it when I sent it off to... whoever. Maybe it's still in my PMs.
