When we were moving tapes to Iron Mountain, we had a bunch of "Rhino
Carriers".  Just formed plastic, specific to the tape architecture; 20
tapes per case, lockable, but that's more of a "tamper evident" than a
true protection thing; the case itself would fall neatly to tinsnips.
I don't know that it'd pass muster for volumes to be entrusted to a
public carrier.

If you're moving from duffels, I presume your hotsite would uncrate
and shelve them and you'd call for tape return by volser instead of
shipping crate?
